O List, Long time no pseudo-intellectual tirade! Lucky you... A couple of NAMM weekend gigs I'd like to remind you all of... 1) Rick Walker/Steve Lawson/Andre LaFosse Trio Sunday, January 19 | 10:30 PM | $10.00 Rocco's in Hollywood - http://www.roccoinla.com for address and directions This will be the first show on our upcoming California tour, and we'll be sharing the bill with Michael Manring. It's a bit of a late start, but this is the only show the trio will be doing within three hours of Los Angeles, so locals should catch us while you can. And as it's the night of the final day of NAMM, it might make a cool way for some of the list members who'll be at the convention to cap off the weekend. Steve, Rick, and I have never played together as a trio, so this'll be a surprise to us all... particularly since Rick will be bringing both an EDP and a full-on drum set, Steve has been experimenting with glitchy FSU and a dual-Echoplex rig, and I'll probably be too freaked out at being on a bill with Manring to play a single note. 2) Steve Lawson solo set Friday, January 17th | 8pm | Free admission JT Schmid's Restaurant and Brewery 2610 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA, just two miles from the Anaheim Convention Center A multi-bass-player's orgy, wherein Steve will be doing his solo EDP-powered thing, much closer to the center of NAMM action. Michael Manring will also be playing, so check this show out if you can, especially to see what these two fine players sound like without my stepping on their toes two nights later. I'll post a reminder for the Northern Cali trio dates before they happen. And a new 75-minute album of the most advanced Echoplex playing I've ever done is currently crawling into rough mix territory; a preview of that will be coming very soon. The beatings will continue until the morale improves, --Andre LaFosse The Echoplex Analysis Pages: http://www.altruistmusic.com/EDP
