Projects: The Coalition of the Willing
In the great tradition of instrumental, electric
guitar-fueled rock comes Bobby Previte's "super bar band," The
Coalition of the Willing, a new and exciting powerhouse machine pulling
together musicians from different worlds to play Previte’s twisting,
hard hitting tunes.

Out now on Ropeadope Records featuring the legendary Charlie Hunter, putting aside his eight string guitar to pick up a six string for the first time in years; Steve Bernstein, the leader and genius behind Sex Mob, on trumpet; Jamie Saft, the paradigm shifting soundmaster on Hammond Organ; and, leading the Coalition charge, Bobby Previte on drums. Also guest starring Skerik, tenor saxophone electro wizard of Critters Buggin’, Les Claypool, and countless others; and Stanton Moore, drummer extraordinaire of Galactic and Garage a Trois. The Coalition of the Willing, the debut recording, was released MAY 1, 2006 on Ropeadope. Recent tours have included Europe, U.S. east coast, west coast, and a special engagement at The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. |

A few months before its release, Bobby Previte and Ropeadope Records tossed
around the idea of making a music video for one tune on the new Coalition
of the Willing CD. However, on further thought, Previte didnÕt
want to stop there. Hunting for bigger game, he proposed not one video,
but eight different videos for each of the eight tunes created by eight
different directors. The idea was for Previte to contact his favorite
video artists, let them listen and choose a cut, and then, completely
independently, create a video of any style or subject or technique whatsoever.
Ropeadope loved the idea, and the result is Operation
Video Freedom.
