Just caught these guys last night, and they rocked -
Garage A Trois. Kind of a funk/jazz jam band kind of thing, for lack of a better description. Guitar enthusiasts here might be familiar with the guitar/bass player,
Charlie Hunter who is a complete monster on that 8 string guitar-bass combo of his.
The opening act last night was
The Bad Plus and they would have been worth the price of admission all by themselves. Apparently, they are the opening act on the first half of the tour, and Sex Mob is opening for the second half of the tour. Haven't seen Sex Mob, but I've heard they're pretty damn good, too.
Anyway, if you're in the San Diego, LA, Santa Cruz, Portland or Seattle areas, there's a Garage A Trois show coming your way within the next week - check 'em out!
