12 of the tightest musicians ever playing high-energy music for an hour-plus. Everyone who was physically capable of dancing was. Shoutout to opener Sam Shalabi who played some beautiful improvised oud music to get the party started.
live at williams college. wow omg wow the timbale player freaked my freaking brain. some mind blowing fluting and an afro-cuban maple leaf rag. a very exciting hour and a half for me. many moments i wished i was dancing. bought a cd and he signed it, thank you zaccai curtis and thank you isabel for dinner
i saw them last week and it was mind-blowing showmanship teetering performance art. also jorge elbretch joined in on guitar which ruled. thick crazy bass & big vocals - blends 80s sounds of siouxsie and the banshees, yello, and gang of four
It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
