If you live anywhere near New Haven, this is a residency you should really check out. Kung Fu features Tim Palmieri (guitar), Todd Stoops (keyboards), Kris Jensen (saxophone), Dave Livolsi (bass) and Adrian Tramontano (drums). This ensemble has a great repertoire of tunes with a refreshing amount of fusion. Kung Fu next plays on Monday, Feb. 1 at Stella Blues in New Haven.

The banter really sums up this track: In the introduction, one of the guys in moe. says that the song is awesome, and at the conclusion of the tune they point out that it will be one of those songs that you wake up in the middle of the night singing. All moe. plays tonight in Stroudsburg PA.

Artist & Title: Some Cat From Japan – Izabella > Fire > Who Knows
Date & Venue: 2010-01-16 Sullivan Hall, New York NY
Taper & Show Download: Scott Bernstein
Once in a while a show or recording is so good that I’ll throw it in here even if the dates are off. Technically, this show misses the cut by two days, but fuck it. The core group of this Hendrix tribute featured, Nigel Hall (keyboards and vocals), Bernard (guitar), Ron Johnson (bass), Scott Metzger (guitar), and Eric Bolivar (drums). Gabriel Gordon and Eric Krasno also join in on the action.

UM covers a lot of ground in this 21+ minute segment. This was the first jammed out version of their Guns ‘n Roses-esque original 1348. Additionally, there is a jam on their rarity All Things Ninja mixed in there. Must hear for casual and hardcore fans alike. UM next plays on February 2nd in Omaha, NE.
