Critters Buggin'

Welcome to Ballard, Washington. The sky is gray. Barnacle encrusted sailors repair boats aching to return to sea. The Ballard bridge raises its mechanical torso, allowing the high masted ship to pass. Passive - aggressive Seattle drivers speed up and down 15th avenue.
Meanwhile, in the basement of a purple house at the corner of 15th and 72nd, three mutant musicians from outer space are working it out. Talk is minimal. They sweat and groan as the musical influences melt together. They are unaware that their nervous systems are being tampered with by an alien civilization whose ascended master came from Saturn.
Improvisational sci-fi punk rock jazz. The kick stand hog shags Bill Gates and mounts blasta under redeye sheets of Burundi. Get out the shears cause the Critters are coming. Along the way they have toured the west coast, flown to Poland and Japan, and scrambled the D.N.A. of a percussionist or two.
The Musicians:
Matt Chamberlain on Drums, Brad Houser playing Bass, Skerik blowing the Saxophone and Mike Dillon on the Percussion and Vibraphone.
