Limited edition CD to 2000 copies only
Tony Da Gatorra is a Brazilian TV and VCR repairman, musical freedom fighter and the inventor of his own unique 'Gatorra' instrument. Part drum machine, part guitar, the Gatorra provides the unique sonic style of Tony’s peace-loving protest songs and features heavily throughout 'The Terror Of Cosmic Loneliness'. As a massive fan of Tony, Gruff Rhys set about tracking down the cult hero during his travels throughout South America (an adventure that also lead to road trip movie, 'Separado!'). Having finally met, the pair undertook their first gig together and promptly booked in to a Sao Paulo recording studio to begin rehearsals.
Gruff Rhys takes up the story;
"We spent 5 days rehearsing a set of songs to play live at the venue - our only shared language was music itself so there was no small talk, just intense concentration on the music. On the final day, as the rehearsals had been so productive, we hooked up some recording equipment and took about 5 hours out to make this record"
