Trio with Weasel Walter & David Slusser

Played last night with Weasel Walter and David Slusser at Scott Looney's 8th St Performance Space. Haven't played with David before - he's a saxophonist and electronicist - I liked how he played both - he brought his soprano and some analog gear, I brought bass clarinet and computer - Weasel brought drums and electric guitar. We started and I noticed that I didn't have really any sound coming from the speakers - looked at Scott, he thought I blew the speakers - a shock to me - I've never come close to doing such a thing - didn't know how brutal I've become Weasel said. Was able to play some electronics through a small amp, but after a bit we ditched the other stuff and just played acoustic. It was a good time - Weasel played in the second set too with Scott, Damon Smith and Kristian Appelin - all free, real active. Scott did some nice sample based electronics - has good control of them using an Alesis device, then played piano - which he plays really well - interesting player with notes and inside the piano. It was a good night - hung out, drank wine, ate BBQ potato chips afterwards - Jen was glad she skipped the John Wiese show for it.
