EXPANDING MAN
ZEVIOUS
Zevious split the difference between the Tony Williams Lifetime and the 80s Downtown scene...[they make] algebraic music feel wholly organic , almost swinging." – Jazz Times
"...Zevious is for anyone who loves aggressive, rock-oriented improv with grooves and some semblance of a song...these guys put their music degrees to work...letting us know that being intense doesn't mean you can't have arrangements and following a script doesn't mean you can't let your hair down." – DownBeat
Zevious are a trio—guitarist Mike Eber, drummer Jeff Eber (cousins, not brothers), and bassist Johnny DeBlase. They started out as jazzbos in 2006, but they got over it; they "went electric," as the old folks say, with DeBlase putting down his upright bass and Mike Eber picking up the Telecaster that gives his tightly knotted lines their sting. The music they wrote shifted from jazz chords and head-nodding swing to tumbling, noisy rock that recalls instrumental-skronk powerhouses like Don Caballero, the Nels Cline Singers, early John McLaughlin, electric Miles Davis, Tony Williams Lifetime, Dysrhythmia (for whom Jeff also plays), Behold The Arctopus, Hyrrokkin, King Crimson (circa 1974-75), James “Blood” Ulmer/Music Revelation Ensemble, and more.
Zevious are celebrating the release of their unbelievable third album, Passing Through The Wall, at Orion!
Zevious do this:
SONAR
Sonar - an instrumental dual guitar, bass & drums quartet from Switzerland will be releasing their second album (their first Cuneiform release) in January, 2014.
Loosely aligned with the trance/hypnotic scene in Switzerland, best exemplified by Nik Bärtsch's ensemble, Sonar work in a somewhat similar terrain, but they are all-rock!
"Experimental, minimalist, instrumental post/math rock. Simply hypnotic. Specially tuned guitars produce an unusal harmonic sound. Pretty awesome actually" - progarchy.com
Sonar do this:
EXPANDING MAN
Carlos Guillen's project THE EXPANDING MAN is instrumental soundtrack music which combines free improvisation with composed material.
