Checking out The New Mellow Edwards tonight w/ Trevor Dunn on bass.  Trevor is one of the founding members of one of my favorite bands, Mr. Bungle.

From barbesbrooklyn.com:

The New Mellow Edwards is a quartet that defies traditional jazz conventions and favors primal garage rock-derived grooves, textural explorations and classicaly-influenced structures. The repertiore of the group can be humorous, dark, accessible and abstract, often simultaneously. Led by trombonist Curtis Hasselbring, a veteran of many bands including Golem, Slavic Soul Party and Matt Darriau’s Ballin’ the Jack, the band also features Chris Speed (clarinet and saxophone), Trevor Dunn (bass) and for this show, special guest Ted Poor (drums).
“Hasselbring’s material embraces both amiable jauntiness and confident probes into abstraction. It’s all a lot of fun and beautifully played.” (Wire, Julian Cowley). $10

Alas, got distracted by scotch.
