Arts Today the Stranger Suggests

Secret Chiefs 3
(Music) You don’t have to be a Sufi mystic or student of Pythagorean tonal theory to dig Secret Chiefs 3, but it helps. Brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, occultist, and genius Trey Spruance, the nine-piece collective smashes trance-inducing Middle Eastern song structure, tuning, and instrumentation with stabs of death metal, surf jazz, and electronic deviance, making modern traditional music as bazaar as it is bizarre. Recommended if you like Ennio Morricone, Mr. Bungle, or opium binging. (Neumo’s, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 8 pm, $12, 21+.) Jonathan Zwickel
i wish i had a cool name like "trey spruance". then i could be an artist.
I would see them again, but the Gathering is playing.
and why don't we see more of the sufi mystical/pythagorean fusion music out there!!?!?!!?!?
there must be some secret cult keeping this music from the public... lets call dan brown, he can write a book about it =)
