- I would like to know if anyone has seen the Fire Merchants.
-
- This is John Goodsall's (guitarist of Brand X) 'other' band.
- I've caught them four times this year in small clubs here in
- L.A., and they blew me away. I haven't heard the latest brand X,
- so I can't compare (can anyone else out there post such a
- comparison?), but they basically do hard jams on weird time sigs
- (15/8, etc.) that are DENSE with textural and thematic variation.
-
- In addition to J.G., Fire Merchants consists of the bassist
- from the Dennis Miller Show (was Andy Summer's band...),
- and Toss Panos, the drummer from Toy Matinee (a lousy band, I
- hear, but a springboard for several talents), who does continuous
- double-bass jazz solos but syncing perfectly with the others.
- They have at least one album out with Chester Thomson (who isn't
- as all-out as T.P. in this band).
-
- Anyway, has anyone else been rolled up and smoked by these guys?
