This band was basically a composition workshop. When I stopped hearing/writing
for this band, we broke up. Compositionally the challenge I set for myself was
to see how much I could come up with given the limitations of the simple sax,
guitar, keyboard, bass, drums format. These are, as promised, our last live
performances.
Hope this helps you out,
Zach Griffin

Subject: blasphemy?
well, it's not exactly anything of Zorn's but... it was on Tzadik.
Teiji Ito's "King Ubu" i dearly regret buying. yuck. i find it to be
boring, uneventful and an approach to avant garde that displeases me.
(however, i can imagine it sounding good with the movie if done properly,
though i've never seen the movie. and perhaps that would change my view of
the music as well.)
