Nels Cline/Larry Ochs/Gerald Cleaver Trio


Saw an excellent show last night--Nels Cline, Gerald Cleaver, and Larry Ochs at Gallery 5. Amazing. It was great to see musicians of this caliber stretch out. Gerald Cleaver was deceptively low-key, and it soon became apparent that his was a slow burn that built up and laid the flaming groundwork for the fireworks from the others. Larry Ochs was strong and inspired, and Nels Cline was brilliant, in full command of his instruments, displaying a seemingly endless supply of ideas. Big fun!

New Ting Ting Loft Gig at Bandito's This Weekend

Banditos Burrito Lounge - Host your Private Party

New Ting Ting Loft is playing this Sunday, at Bandito's Burrito Lounge, at 10 PM. We'll be opening for our RAIC friend Sam Goff's band Among the Rocks and Roots.

Sam has more kind words for us:

Sonic tricksters? Avant Garde afficionados? Whatever. They were here before you and will be here after you're gone. Best live band in Richmond. Best improv band in Richmond. The irony of an avant garde improv act playing a sports bar/burrito restaurant on a Sunday night is not lost on us by the way. Thanks to Bandito's for allowing us to put on such craziness! As excited about this as anything this year. 

Well, we'll be tearing it up and hopefully helping those late-night tacos get digested better! The Facebook event page is here.
