Upon moving to Austin in 2009, I sought out to establish a new working relationship with improvisers from the vibrant and eclectic music undergrounds of Texas—my new home. With Texans, Jason Jackson, Jawwaad Taylor and Stefan Gonzalez handling horns, percussion, vocal and rhythm guitar duties; I called upon Chicagoan Frank Rosaly (also a member of my Chicago Sextet), to act as a second drummer.

The addition of the local guitar-hero Jonathan Horne, completed this collective. A complex amalgam of references and aesthetics within the band makes for a clever, intricate, and raucous sonic foundation that propels the music forward into compelling new territories.
This band sounds vastly different than any of my other working projects and I’m anticipating the release of our debut album in the early part of 2013.

Label: Tektite Records
