I’ve just returned from tonights show.\u00a0 Its the first time I’ve seen them live since Ken has joined on drums.\u00a0 Steve and Norm had a great sound, but now with drumming mixed in its really amazing.\u00a0 If you want to get a sense for what the trio sounds like check out India Minor<\/a> available from Ken’s site.\u00a0 There is also plenty more linked from their old(?) homepage<\/a> but it seems to be mostly older material without drumming included.\u00a0 The new butterflies-and-zebras.com<\/a> seems to have a mix of stuff.<\/p>\n They’ll be playing live again on\u00a0 Thursday June 19th at the Avant-Garde<\/a> Bar, 135 1\/2 Besserer St.\u00a0 Tonights cover was $5 and the volume, while loud – wasn’t such that I needed to break out the earplugs.\u00a0 Very enjoyable.<\/p>\n There are several descriptions of what the sound of B&Z is classified as, but the set of labels that fits best for me is Experimental \/ Ambient \/ Psychedelic.\u00a0 With two guitarists and a strong Hendrix influence you can guess where things are headed, however the recently added drumming adds a new dimension to the sound.\u00a0 It was clear in the live performance that the trio were working well together, exploring the sound scape they were creating.\u00a0 It seemed like each of them were striving for perfection in the details of their play while seeking musical synergy with the others.\u00a0 For me personally, I enjoy the depth of the music they are creating and the sense of freedom they invoke in the listener.\u00a0 Thanks guys – nice stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve just returned from tonights show.\u00a0 Its the first time I’ve seen them live since Ken has joined on drums.\u00a0 Steve and Norm had a great sound, but now with drumming mixed in its really amazing.\u00a0 If you want to get a sense for what the trio sounds like check out India Minor available from … Continue reading “Butterflies And Zebras – Live”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1679,"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76\/revisions\/1679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lowtek.ca\/roo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
