about

Okay people, this next bootleg is kind of rough and it takes some courage to upload it. It is 4 excerpts from our two first concerts back in 2009/10. My vision for the band back then was to mix free jazz with bits of country and post-bop.

When I listen back now, I can definetely hear what we were trying to achieve... and I can also hear the musical difficulties we are having, searching for a way to play together and a sound by which to identify us .
There are some very fun parts too that were left out in later takes on the tunes. The second-line groove on Everyone's A Comedian, the 7/4 groove on Girl's With Radical Haircuts and the c-part of No 5 With A Bullet. And there is a lot of free improvisation, that eventually left the band ... for a while anyway.

So here it is; the third bootleg. Listen to the babysteps of our band, and enjoy a view into the process of creating a sound.

I heard this album and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with this band!!! Take my money!!! Interestingly Sunflower and Long Way Home had me thinking of Elvin Jones. Honestly, this band truly is incredible! If you have friends incapable of grasping what's going on here, TRADE UP! Jonathan Pryor
