Gary Lucas @ Local 269 6/19/11

This was awesome!  It reminded me of a lot of my favorite Dee Pop projects.  Dave Sewelson on baritone sax, Dee Pop on drums, Don Fiorino on bass, and Gary Lucas on guitar.

I never saw Gary before.  It was great.  I need to check him out some more.  There was someone in the audience who knew all of the Beefheart songs, so they played a couple.  It was good stuff and I found this on wikipedia;

Lucas co-leads a jazz-oriented, all-instrumental Beefheart tribute ensemble, Fast 'n' Bulbous: the Captain Beefheart Project, who have made appearances at the Frankfurt Jazz Festival and the Jazz Em Agosto Festival in Lisbon during 2006. Their debut album Pork Chop Blue Around the Rind was profiled on NPR and charted on college radio in the US. In Fall, 2006, they toured Europe extensively, selling out shows at the London Jazz Festival, in Amsterdam's BimHuis, as well as playing in Bern, Vienna, Schwaz and Ljubljana Slovenia. The group has recently released its second album, Waxed Oop, on Cuneiform Records.

I couldn't stay for the whole set, it being Sun night and all.  I enjoyed what I got, though.
