The Vegetarians is a project lead by Hans Annellsson, composer & musician from Sweden, working together with several different singers such as John Tabacco, Robin Schell, John Crowe, Marc Mollan, John Marshall Gibbs and Napoleon Murphy Brock. The project started around 2000 as a vehicle for recording some prog covers of YES, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, Adrian Belew, Peter Hammill etc. The prog covers can be found on the albums \u201cRemustered & Remixed Salad\u201d and \u201cThe Calling\u201d.\u00a0

Billy Sherwood said this about the song \u201cThe Calling\u201d:\u00a0\u201cA good rocking version, well done boys.\u201d<\/em>

Adrian Belew had this to say about The Vegetarians version of his song \u201cDream Life,\u201d:\u00a0\u201cBeautiful, I was really moved to hear your version, maybe I’m not forgotten after all.\u201d<\/em>

The new album, \u201cBill Haley,\u201d a mixture of Prog\/Alternative\/Classic Rock, consists of fourteen original songs, mostly written by Annellsson-Tabacco, and one cover written by Susan DeVita. The recording was done by sending files back and forth.\u00a0 John recorded all his vocals at his studio in Long Island and Hans recorded his parts at Annellssongs studio, the mix being done at Studio Loftet in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. There are plenty of musicians on the album, most notably Morgan \u00c5gren (Devin Townsend, Mats\/Morgan Band, Zappa\u2019s Universe) on drums, Mats \u00d6berg (Mats\/Morgan Band, Zappa\u2019s Universe) on keyboards & harmonica and Dan Bornemark on keyboards.

The Vegetarians performed at the \u201cZappanale Festival\u201d in Germany in 2011, and hope to perform there again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
