Dave Sattout, a guitarist with a witty hawk's-eye on humanity. He and his seven piece of wildly accomplished musicians summon ghosts of Zappa. Original compositions. Abrasive, damp and twisted. I am looking forward to this show and the type of crowd it holds captive.

Two double basses, percussion and drums. Looks like a collective of seasoned improvisers (I spy Tomas Ford from Anoesis in the lineup) playing one of their first shows under this project name. Guessing this will be the usual “two sets from 10pm” deal
