SPLITLIP
I love SPLITLIP and the people in it,
Jon Brumit,
Wayne Grim,
Suki O’Kane
and from time to time, the one and only
Jeff Hobbs.
We played in Sacramento last night at the Prescott Showcase of new, improv and jazz music hosted by our friend Ross Hammond. For some reason SPLITLIP has played more shows to fewer people in Sacto than anywhere else. But the shows are always interesting there, so the few who make it get the goods.
Things felt really great onstage and we could have played on all night or as Suki said, ‘until the electricity runs out.’
A comment overheard during a lull in one of our pieces:
‘Do these people have any talent?’
followed by this Q&A w/ Ross:
Q: ‘What do you think their influences are?’
Ross: ‘I wouldn’t know where to start.’
ALBUM next year, we should hope…(the wonderful Michael Zelner recorded this and most of our shows, so…)
