Trimtab + Moraine
Doors 730 Show 8 All Ages
R. Buckminster Fuller, the great 20th century architect and theorist said, We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims. The band Trimtab is the sonic answer to this call. Trimtab is the concept of guitarist Jason Goessl, who being heavily influenced by the ideas of Buckminster Fuller, saw an intrinsic link between architecture and musical form a link he sought to express in sound. Initially formed in Minneapolis, Goessl moved west to Seattle and enlisted bassist Phil Cali and drummer Brian Oppel, to form the newest incarnation of Trimtab, and further realize his musical vision.
Sweeping dynamic changes, woven through hypnotic musical tensions, all set against persistent grooves, the music of Trimtab is a unique blend of the concrete and the sonic, the physical and the ephemeral. There is a unique gravitational pull in their music, much like the unseen forces that send skyscrapers into the heavens and lift bridges across impossible expanses. Trimtab, if they are the true architects of the future, call on the past and the future alike to forge a sound whose gravitational center is the inescapable present. If they are answering the call, hopefully someone is listening.
Trimtab will be joined by Scott James from The Now Device on visuals http://www.thenowdevice.com/
Moraine is a shape-shifting Seattle-based instrumental quintet led by guitarist Dennis Rea and featuring ace instrumentalists Alicia DeJoie(violin), James DeJoie (woodwinds), Kevin Millard (bass), and Brian Oppel(drums). Moraine quickly built a reputation as one of the most electrifying and original instrumental rock bands anywhere, winning over listeners around the globe with its unique amalgam of art rock, forward-thinking jazz, Asian-inspired music, and more.
With a distinctive repertoire balancing rigorously composed passages with exploratory improvisation, Moraine has delighted audiences ranging from progressive rock partisans to jazz aficionados to metalheads. The band has generated a buzz with performances in major U.S. cities, Mexico, Siberia, and Tuva, and its set at NEARfest 2010 was considered by many to be a highlight of the festival. Moraine's MoonJune Records releases manifest deNsity, Metamorphic Rock, and Groundswell (co-produced and mixed by legendary Pacific Northwest producer Steve Fisk) have garnered hundreds of glowing reviews worldwide.
