Unlike other bloated "Best Of" comps marred by the inclusion of subprime material, this one truly delivers on the promise of its title. Featuring top-shelf cuts emanating from the comedy universe of The Best Show and Scharpling & Wurster Live!, the all-griller, no-filler track list includes newly recorded versions of the band's biggest hit, The Best Theme for The Best Show (heard weekly on The Best Show for 10+ years and counting); a new, insta-classic version of The Gas Station Dogs’, Rock 'n' Roll Dreams'll Come Through, featuring special guest vocalist Barry Dworkin and special guest baritone saxophonist Ward Abronski (of Flipper's Sex Bomb infamy); a new barnburner version of The Mike Show Theme (AP Mike's show-within-the-show); a new souped-up version of recent Best Show contribution Green Room Blues featuring a rollicking horn section led by Marc Capelle of American Music Club; and the cathartic grand piano fugue poignantly titled, Tom's Lament.
Led by rhythm guitarist/vocalist Anthony Bedard (Hank IV, Icky Boyfriends), the band features the lead guitar work of Andy Oglesby (Hank IV, The Roofies) and a crack assemblage of SF/Oakland music scene veterans including bassist Ajax Green (The Wrong Words), drummer Russ Blackmar (Tropical Sleep), and keyboardist Alison Levy (The Loud Family). Their Best Show theme song having been a staple of the program for over a decade, the band made their live debut in January 2015 at the SF Sketchfest Tribute to Scharpling & Wurster. In March 2015, they performed as the house band for the first-ever Scharpling & Wurster Live! shows at the Bell House in Brooklyn and then, in Aug/Sept 2015, as the live house band for Scharpling & Wurster's smash hit west coast tour.
Rocking, hook-filled, and drenched with fun, Nothing But The Best: The Very Best of Theme Weavers LLC is a must-have recording not only for fans of The Best Show but for rock fans who love comedy, comedy fans who love rock, and all the long-suffering casualties of the rock/comedy crossover fever dream.
