Preview of the "Hubert Selby Song": Chicanery is a collaboration between Warren Cuccurullo (Frank Zappa, Missing Persons, Duran Duran) and Neil Carlill. They first met in London, England in the late 1990's where Neil was a guest on the TV Mania project created by Warren and Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. Many years later after both Neil & Warren had relocated to the USA (East and West coasts respectively) they started work on Chicanery.

Fusing rich sound scapes shaped by Warren's legendary tune craft densely woven around Neil's tone poet vocals and lyrics Chicanery is both a revival and a dream of a modern day band. It presents challenging, virtuoso musicianship and a daring-but-precise approach that transforms the collection of songs into an art form of its own. The musical terrain covers Zappa, Bowie , Dance, Club and alternative rock. It's a surreal and a psychotic vision of pop music.

Warren and Neil are joined on selected sessions by long-time Cuccurullo collaborator Terry Bozzio, Frank Zappa alumni Joe Travers, world renowned Sarangi virtuoso Ustad Sultan Khan, Muli-instrumentalist and producer Simone Sello and other guests.

Chicanery's debut album was produced by Simone Sello and engineered by Fabio Angelini both of Red Rum Productions (www.redrumproductions.net).

Chicanery release their debut album on dPulse Recordings on May 11th 2010. (In conjunction with Fontana/Universal Music Group Distribution)
