I have a Kung Fu video!
Too bad David Carradine is not in it!
Video came out good.
As I got drunker the more twisty, topsy turvy it got!
Had Adrian upside down a few times!

Green Earrings
Help>Slip>Eliz Reed

A Slow, tasty Zappa instrumental (keep forgetting the name)

Ridiculous show!

When it first opened you could order food from the neighboring bars- Nikita, Marius, etc and they\'d deliver to you.

yes and no, there are some songs that should never be played and the chicken is one of them.  as is Cissy strut, and the chameleon, hey pocky way, etc.  enroll in any music school and in six months you will agree, promise...

my point is really just humor.  tongue in cheek one might say.  while i truly would rather they did not cover the chicken I could care less what they play.  see ya on monday!

Quote from: krispy;247001

pleasedo not request the chicken.  this ensemble is so beyond jam band 101.  In fact don\'t request anything, just sit back and let them do their business....

Misinterpretation 101 = when supposedly hip "in the know" music people go and stereotype simpler jambandish songs as \'just another jam\'.  Please realize that, except for the fully rehearsed (which these guys are not, at this point), it\'s quite OK for music monsters (and, in particular, these 5 guys) to take a fairly well known jam and make it their own (and own it!!!!).  In the grand scheme, a good chance that you\'ll get 68+ minutes of original Kung Fu magic - but until then, it\'s all about enjoying the fck out of what they\'re feelin\'!!!

This is the 1st time that this quintet has played as a group - and with the limited rehearsal time that they\'ve had, it makes 11/23 all the more \'adventurous\'!!!  

Can\'t wait for them to burn the fk out of \'The Chicken\'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: stublatt on November 14, 2009, 09:47:02 pm

A little bit of video alibi from some of the Kung Fu line-up that you may be less familiar with:

1st one is Kris J on sax - sitting in with some familiar faces (young - and less young) a few summers ago (Blah Blah included Adrian, Matt O, George Lesiw and Steve Clarke):












Kris playing with Junior Mack in Jaimoe\'s Jasssz Band 8/1/09 - opening for Govt Mule (with Warren H sitting in):






Dave Livolsi has played with the likes of Jazz Is Dead and John Scofield, so I think we\'re OK there:





......oh, and he\'s familiar with Adrian, too (plz check out the bass solo!):

Post by: wildcoyote on November 14, 2009, 05:53:31 pm

This is great. Monday\'s are tough, but I\'m going make every effort to see as many of these as possible.

I\'m really glad to see Stoops playing with these guys again. That short notice Iron Horse show is the exception, not the rule. Stoops is 1st rate, and imo right up there with Tim and Adrian on musical talent.

Don\'t ask me how I remember this, but I do believe a handful of us witnessed a Kris Jensen sit in on TT back in the Richters days.  2005?  

I haven\'t been this excited for a tB related project in a long time.  As for Stellas- YES. You\'re getting it. There\'s more to being a rock bar than getting a juke box and putting some old old vinyl covers on the bar.

These shows are gonna get crazy!!! From what I hear, its supposed to be fusion music. I am imagining the fusion sounds of Diesel Experiments: Junk\'n Jams. We need to pack this place with Bfam + friends. The more people, the longer the residensy. Looks like I\'ll be Bonzoing it to these shows. Count me in.
