Wild Rumpus is the latest musical wizard's brew from "Legendary Left-field Guitarist" Gary Lucas — who here joins forces with his longtime friend and collaborator Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy (a/k/a DJ Cosmo) to create a wild ass-shaking rumpus in the electronica and dance field.

An astonishing mix of electronica, dub and country, it's like nothing you've ever heard!!
