The LOOP TRIO TOUR California dates: LaFosse, Lawson, Walker
Hi gang,
I'm extremely excited to announce a whole series of
California Dates with the LOOP TRIO.
For months now, Andre LaFosse (L.A. guitar turntablist),
Steve Lawson (London fretless bass phenom) and I (multi instrumental
percussive madness) have been tossing the idea of doing a tour
together. We are such incredibly different musicians and we have
been dying to know how this chemistry would end up sounding
We decided to design the shows so that we could be free to
improvise using looping gear in solo,duo and trio formats
and we are finally going to do it!!!!
I'm so friggin' excited, I can't tell you all.
Our itenary is thus:
THURS - SUN JAN 16-19 at the NAMM show in ANAHEIM
We'll all three be at this, the craziest of music trade shows, playing
and schmoozing
at several different booths, but most notably the GIBSON booth where there
is a chance
we may do some impromptu EDP jams
SUNDAY JAN 19 Rocco's in HOLLYWOOD
with the fabulous MICHAEL MANRING making us a quartet
(note late start time of 10 p.m. for all you staggering
NAMM veterans.......;-)
WEDNESDAY JAN 22 Z-pies in SAN LUIS OBISPO
with loop madman Hans Lindauer opening with his loop project,
ARMATRONIX
THURSDAY JAN 23 Art21 Gallery in STANFORD
with innovative percussion looperJon Wagner and 1st lady of loops, Cara
Quinn (aka Goddess)........Steve's doing a clinic on during this show and
will not be appearing
FRIDAY JAN 24 at the San Jose Museum of Art in SAN JOSE
just the three of us on this one lots of room to stretch out.....;-)
This is one of my favorite venues on the tour where Michael, Steve and I
had an incredible show during the 1st BASS LOOPING TOUR. It'll be glad to
get back
there again.
SATURDAY JAN 25 Cayuga Vault SANTA CRUZ
with Bill Walker, one of the most sophisticated
users of the Electrix REPEATER opening (btw, watch
for Bill's demos of Turner Guitars at the Seymour
Duncan Booth at NAMM)
SUNDAY JAN 26 Bananas at Large BERKELEY (note EARLY 3 p.m. start)
doing a three person GIBSON EDP Echoplex/LOOP 4 software
demonstration/clinic
MONDAY JAN 27 Westlake Elementary School 8:30 a.m. SANTA CRUZ
Well, actually this is just me playing solo, but they are paying me to
loop so what the hey...........LOL.
WEDNESDAY JAN 29 Henflings BEN LOMOND
Again, with the incomparable MICHAEL MANRING
All the shows start at 8 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) and
are $10 at the door with no one turned away for lack of funds.
We really hope that you can make one or more of these shows. I think it's
going to be really cool.
yours, in the loop, Rick Walker (aka Loop.pooL)
please e-mail me or andre offlist if you want more specific information
about the gigs.
