Shadowy men

At the tale end of November I went to Gabba Hey to check out some kosmik sounds. Flecton Bigsky was cementing his return to the stage, The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol were celebrating of their newly released (and now almost entirely sold out) album Pathfinder, and Montreal's Pachyderm showed up with some krautrockin' tuneage as well.

Flecton kicked things off.



Shadowy action!



Flecton sings!



Pachyderm was formed by Tom Jarvis and Nico Braesch after the two met in Montreal (Jarvis hails from Liverpool, Braesch is French). Like TBWNIAS, they've served as sound carriers for Damo Suzuki, and like those German kosmik sounds.



Nico hits!



Percussive action!



Tim frets!



Elephantine action!



Pedal-examining action!



More Nico!



Tim sings!



They brought in a bassman for the last bit.



Keyboard action!



Bonus Braesch!



Rhythm section action!



Then it was on to TBWNIAS for some more shadowy action.



Jan Lis wasn't around for this set, but Flecton was there to "hang out."



John hits!



Nate handles the low end.



Dave adjusts.



Bill frets.



Extra Dave!



More guitar!



This is the best pivture you'll get of Jason, since he was tucked away in a corner away from the light.



Flecton bends!



A grand time was had by all.
