Test
Tube Rhino is the latest project from guitarist Joe Pinnavaia. He has previously
helmed the bands 716 and Breakerbox. On Test Tube Rhino Pinnavaia handles
guitars, synths, bass and drum loops along with Matt Castronova who helps
out on bass and drum loops. The instrumental tracks veer from Steve Vai/
Joe Satriani speed shredding to Lenny Kravitz funky blues and rock to Jeff
Beck Blow era jazz rock. Highlights among the seven tracks are "Test Tube
Fantasy", "Nimicus Namicus" and "High". Check out "Caucacious" which shows
some serious Pinnavia fretwork over a hypnotic bass line. You can get more
