Piko Cloud Booker - Sanguine Hum content

[bondegezou]

I went to the launch show by Piko Cloud Booker last night. PCB are a new trio consisting of guitarist Cameron Piko (Montresor), bassist/violinist Gaz Cloud (Cloud & Owl) and drummer Andrew Booker (Peter Banks, no-man, Tim Bowness, Sanguine Hum). Really good instrumental music, very enjoyable. They describe themselves as, "Progressive rock trio mixing King Crimson-esque cyclical guitar patterns, unusual time signatures & the expansive sequencer exploration of Tangerine Dream." They are their own band with their own sound, but you can hear the '80s Crimson influence, although at times I was more reminded of '70s Rush or even UK. You can follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pikocloudbooker/

Support was from Mein Haus, who are Patricia Stepien on violin (and occasional viola) and Elliot Murphy on cello (and occasional acoustic guitar). Also great, with a percussive style of playing, producing punchy, proggy music with cycles of . They joined PCB for an improvised encore, which I had to miss half of to catch the train home.

Opening was a solo set from Andrew's fellow Sanguine Hum member, keyboardist Matt Baber.

Seems interesting. I liked them on FB but I wish they had some full band camples.

Some complete content should be available on the FB page in the coming weeks. Glad the gig was well received!
