king pelican at the olmos pharmacy, this saturday
At first blush, it may seem strange that two members of the Jazz Protagonists and two members of Two Tons of Steel would form a band together. (The band is King Pelican, which plays straight-up surf rock.) It all makes sense, though, when you realize that both bands are planted firmly in the present day while recognizing the beauty and value of a moment in the recent past, and the value of Getting It Right.
Unfortunately, Greg Norris, string bassist for the Protags and electric bassist for Pelican, is otherwise engaged this Saturday. The surf band needed a fill-in, and, as an indication of how desperate we are for bassists in SA in 2011, they asked ... me.
So, I'll be throwing down on my old main instrument this coming Saturday evening at the Olmos Pharmacy, at 8pm. Great burgers, legendary shakes (speaking of getting something right from a golden era), happening surf rock. See you there.
