epistrophy arts Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 The Thing Ruby´s BBQ tour Mats Gustafsson (Sweden) - saxophones Ingebrigt Haker Flaten (Norway) - bass Paal Nilssen-Love (Norway) - drums The THING is quite simply one of the most flat-out rocking bands in any genre of music, period. Tearing down the walls that separate free jazz/punk rock/garage/noise/improv etc. with wicked glee, The Thing shine a searing hot light on the idiocy of getting hung up on categories. With a songbook that includes tunes by Don Cherry, PJ Harvey, White Stripes, Lightning Bolt, James Blood Ulmer, Mongezi Feza, The Ex, The Sonics, Frank Lowe, and Ornette Coleman, they weave in and out of themes + improvisations with seamless grace, daredevil flair, and white-hot intensity. This ain't yr daddy's jazz. *Only 4 U.S. dates on this tour - muy exclusivo!* Nov. 12 2008 Hide Out, Chicago, US Nov. 13 2008 New Orleans + The Red Hot White Lights THURS.NOV.13 10PM @the HI-HO LOUNGE 2239 St.Claude Ave Nov. 14 2008 Ruby´s BBQ, Austin, Texas, US epistrophy arts Nov. 15th, 2008 Houston, Texas Christ Church Cathedral, Latham Auditorium 1117 Texas Avenue, Houston, Texas, US presented by Nameless Sound Quote
