Incoming! Greg Ginn & The Royal We, Garage Jazz Architects, Chopstick Sat 4/9
Posted on April 7, 2011 – 3:52 AM | by Admin
Last March, SST Records and former Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn came through town with his rock-jazz-country-blues-latin-psychedelia band, the Taylor Texas Corrugators. He returns, this time with the Royal We (though I can’t find any proof of an actual band that’ll be with him!) The music is apparently more electronic than rock-based, with Ginn possibly manning everything. Garage Jazz Architects began as a conceptual idea of Lob, founder of the ever-changing Instagon, and usual cohort to Ginn’s semi-regular appearances. Tunes like “Cat Scratch Infection” and “Surf Orangevale” have helped the concept of the Architects come to life: creating garage jazz cover versions of popular songs and riffs, and having different sets of themed covers to perform and expand upon. Chopstick opens this night of “whatever the hell we want to play, eh!” –TM
