I'm not sure, but it sounds like you might actually be referring to 
Group 87, perhaps?  Group 87 was Bozzio with Mark Isham, Patrick 
O'Hearn, and Peter Maunu.

I remember picking up "A Career in Dada Processing" when it first 
came out on vinyl.  Loved it.  That woulda been... oh f*ck, like 1984 
or thereabouts?!?  Geez, now I feel old.

Great group.  If that's the lineup you saw, I'm envious.  :)
