    2008.02.18 - Empty Bottle - Powerhouse Sound [free!]

    Powerhouse Sound plays the Bottle tonight for free dollars.

    Our insanely popular free Monday series gets jazzed up with KEN VANDERMARK'S POWERHOUSE SOUND project. The group's compositions build from the perspective of the bass, drawing on "the rhythmic ideas of JAMES BROWN, the dub ideas of LEE PERRY, and the collage ideas of PUBLIC ENEMY." JOSH ABRAMS and BEN FASMAN will DJ throughout the night and the evening will additional serve to celebrate the release of Stop Smiling magazine's 'Jazz Issue'.
    Ken Vandermark - reeds
    Nate McBride - bass
    Jeff Parker - guitar
    John Herndon - drums

    Vandermark is the lynch pin in Chicago's improvised music scene (and a MacArthur fellow). Parker and Herndon play in Tortoise and half a dozen other bands. The band name is apt - they will tear your face off. In my opinion, the best current live act in Chicago.

    9 pm, free admission, $1.25 PBR. Seriously, you have no excuse.

              If they're selling it, pick up the double disc, because that shit is fire too.

              It's not as good as the criminally underrated Bridge 61 album, but it's close.

              Oh, and if they recorded anything else, plz be to be buying me a copy plz kthx

                  Just remembered that these guys were on Sound Opinions a couple of weeks ago. Listening to it now and getting really stoked for tonight's show. I had forgotten how ridiculous Parker's guitar playing is in this group.
