A reformed version of Captain Beeheart's backing band, led by "Drumbo" John French, Beefheart's drummer and musical right-hand man for the bulk of his recording career, and formed at the urging of longtime Beefheart fan Matt Groening to play at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he curated in 2003. The initial lineup had all played in the original Magic Band at one time or another: John French (Drumbo) on vocals, harmonica and drums, Gary Lucas and Denny Walley on guitars, Mark Boston (Rockette Morton) on bass, with Robert Arthur Williams filling in on drums for the vocal numbers.
