Episode 10 - Enter The Void w/ Dave Harrington, Robbie Seahag Mangano, & Steve Okonski

We are going big for episode 10 with the most psychedelic and intense film to date and I couldn't have assembled a better crew of musicians to tackle it.  Today we have Dave Harrington (Darkside) on guitar, Robbie "Seahag" Mangano (Tom Morello, Sean Lennon) on guitar and bass, and Steve Okonski (The National Reserve) on keys and synths. Enjoy!

Episode 9 - 2001: A Space Odyssey w/ Marc Friedman & Scott Metzger

This month we are going way past the moon in an epic drama of adventure and space exploration with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm really excited to have this trio for this film consisting of Marc Friedman (The Slip, Ryan Montbleau) on bass, Scott Metzger (JRAD, Wolf!) on guitar and myself on drum kit and percussion. Get ready to get weird!

Episode 7 - The Tree of Life w/ Luca Benedetti & Kevin Kendrick

For episode 7, we are tackling the amazing 2011 Terrence Malick film, A Tree Of Life. Guitar slinger Luca Benedetti and Kevin Kendrick (who left his vibraphone at home and brought turntables and synths) came by to help improvise an album while watching the movie. With this trio you really get to hear everyone's musical voices clearly and it doesn't disappoint!
