Wild trio free jazz moves from a group that includes a slew of players from alla the wrong sides of the tracks, including bassist/saxophonist Todd Homer one-time member of legendary wiseass pro-teen punks The Angry Samoans (best loved for their Rodney Bingenheimer ‘tribute’ “Get Off The Air You Fucking Square”). Something about the abstract groove-based momentum and roaring reed work here reminds most of Brötzmann’s Die Like A Dog trio work but there’s a whole lot of beat/punk flash to this unit that seems more situated in Cleveland-style avant-garage scorch, especially when drummer Larry Copcar (ex-Bougalieu!) starts into his hard-boiled monologues, where he sounds like Brian Hudson during his volatile tenure with The Styrenes. Recommended.
