Martini Ranch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martini Ranch was a band featuring Andrew Todd (Vocals/Guitar) and actor Bill Paxton (Vocals) and Robert O'Hearn (keyboards) [brother of Zappa bass player Patrick O'Hearn]. They released one album "Holy Cow" in 1988. The song "How Can the Labouring Man Find Time for Self-Culture?" featured Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo. James Cammeron directed the video which was played on the MTV program "Smash or Trash". It was trashed and received little airplay.
Cindy Wilson of the B-52s also sings background on some of these songs. Additionally, actor Judge Reinhold (of Beverly Hills Cop fame) is credited as the Whistler on the song "Reach".
