The Aristocrats

Drawing upon their eclectic tastes, virtuosic rock trio the Aristocrats play a distinctive mix of instrumental prog rock, jazz fusion, heavy metal, and funk. Turning an off-the-cuff 2011 show into a surprisingly successful endeavor, guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Beller, and drummer Marco Minnemann took their talents on the road, playing around the world and releasing quirky albums like 2013's Culture Clash and 2015's Tres Caballeros. Following a three-year sabbatical, the trio returned to work in 2019 with their fourth outing, You Know What...?, with the irreverent concept LP Duck appearing in 2024.
