Local blog, Skull Valley, wrote up some nice descriptions of shows that Host Skull and Oryx Horns played this past fall. The first show saw the saxophone/guitar/drums trio version of Host Skull open up for Michael Johnsen and The Voltage Spooks. This was one of my favorite shows of the year. The Voltage Spooks was incredible, mainly by being incredibly patient with the layers of sound they concocted. I'd give Host Skull a B on our set. We played three pieces that utilize some form of "head" that anyone in the group can trigger. The rest is improvisation. This was the first time we played a set like this. I think it was more magical when we did a similar set last month at the new Mr. Roboto Project.
The next show (the following night - both at The Shop) saw Oryx Horns (Gregg Weber and I for this show) play with locals Carousel, Brown Angel, and an incredible set from Deadrider. This show also happens to be a highlight from the year. Previous Oryx Horn setups were saxophone/guitar/drums, but this one was for drums/electronic drums/laptop. Anyway, check out the blog below:
