| The Gates of Beauty, The Scott Waite Debacle, Cairo, Clawform Bull City Headquarters, Durham | Anne Gomez outlined this show thusly:
The Gates of Beauty is me on bass, Wendy Spitzer (Lemming Malloy, Felix Obelix) on bass and Shannon Morrow (Scene of the Crime Rovers, Mahasamatman) on drums and occasional keyboard. We all 'sing,' sometimes simultaneously. We would like to think we sound something like the Ruins and the Slits having a drunken tea party, but that might be setting the bar a little too high.
The Debacle is a punk/prog trio headed by Seattle import Scott Waite [Rob and Eleni of Beloved Binge have been on a mission to move their friends here from Seattle after Beloved Binge relocated here a few years ago; they were successful with Scott, to our benefit]. The Debacle is definitely a 'punk rock' band, but it's got a King Crimson/Return to Forever/Mahavishnu Orchestra vibe going on that will satisfy your hidden love of jazz fusion.
And I kinda hear a little Steely Dan in there too. How can you go wrong?
Cairo is a band containing another of Rob and Eleni's recent transplants from Seattle. I don't know what Cairo sounds like, but I'm hoping for some mixture of Beloved Binge and The Debacle, with a little Mudhoney and Stone Temple Pilots thrown in for good measure. I hear Eleni might be playing drums.
Clawform is Colin Booy's solo metal banjo project - not to be missed. And maybe, if we're lucky, he'll wear his hot pants. In fact, I'm making a special request.
