FRIDAY.MAY 4TH.2007

GET HUSTLE (portland, 31G records)
OAXACAN (oakland)
CHAD STOCKDALE QUARTET

10pm...fools foundation...all ages...$5/7 mems vs. n00bs

it's been roughly seven years since GET HUSTLE last dropped a bomb on sacramento, and in that time they've streamlined their lineup, toured several times, and released several records across the 5RC, GSL, gravity, and 31G labels. it wasn't long ago that i read someone's email that indicated they thought that discovering the birthday party was the equivalent of dropping a giant hit of acid on the whole gravity records scene in the mid-90s. i think that's a darn good analogy when applied to GET HUSTLE, as these gypsies sort of never came down off that particular high. toss in the first two bad seeds records, a little bit of suicide and i think you're getting warmer when it comes to figuring out where the hell this band is coming from...where they're going though is an unknown quantity at this point, you'll have to come and see for yourself!

and a teaser video from the gootube:



if you are unfamiliar with OAXACAN, here's your chance to get on board. i have a hard time trying to describe what they're doing because they've been pretty different every time i've seen them. what i can say is that i've been pretty pleased with their lady fronted free-rock/n0.wav/kraut/improv/hootenanny every time i've seen them. shit's getting fierce these days, good set your face on fire and scream into the abyss kind of jams that seem appropriate given the approaching ecological collapse that will result from all those bees dying right now. internet:

also playing will be the CHAD STOCKDALE QUARTET, featuring chad's exploding sax, kevin and nate melting parallel drumkits, and nick peeling the cello like nobody's business. not going out on a limb here when i say i think this is the best free jazz combo in town. also, the dudes are all the nicest and someone should buy them ice creams for that. chad also will hopefully bring grouper lps to the show because i forgot to get one from him at the wooden shjips thing and want to give him money for that.
