["Todd Morman" <tmorman AT nc.rr.com>]

After hearing a few skronky/oddball clips online, I think I'm gonna go to 
this and thought it worth adding to Ross' list. I'm hoping the '8pm' thing 
below isn't utter and complete bullshit and the headliner will start by 10 at 
the latest, but that's probably me being old and naive. Anyway, these sound 
fun:

THE DEAD KENNY Gs in RALEIGH, NC
THURSDAY, JANUARY 19 at THE POUR HOUSE

Listen to Black Truman (Harry the Hottentot)

Who:
THE DEAD KENNY Gs 
(featuring SKERIK, MIKE DILLON & BRAD HOUSER)

What:
If the moniker for the combustible punk jazz trio The Dead Kenny Gs doesn’t 
say it all at first glance, one listen to their latest album Operation Long 
Leash quickly makes intentions clear. Saxophonist Skerik, bassist Brad Houser 
and drummer/percussionist Mike Dillon are committed to musical subversion of 
the highest order. 

Exploring a muso obsession of musical styles and sonic colors, The Dead Kenny 
Gs have both the courage and the chops to realize their wildest aural 
visions. One moment they draw inspiration from punk legends The Minutemen, 
the next finds them embracing the spirit of jazz giant Rahsaan Roland Kirk 
and still another speaks to the influence of indie rock progenitors Deerhoof; 
yet all the while sounding purely DKGs.

To further that extent, it's not just music informing the trio's voice, but a 
keen understanding of political conspiracy in American history. The title of 
the DKGs latest album, Operation Long Leash, comes from the clandestine CIA 
operation in the late ‘40s to fund Abstract Expressionism as a means for 
Western culture to undermine the rigid, confined and conformist ideals of the 
Soviet Union during the early years of the Cold War.

The Dead Kenny Gs hit the southeast in January for a headline tour. They 
perform in Raleigh, NC at The Pour House on Thursday, January 19.

Where:
THE POUR HOUSE
224 South Blount Street  
Raleigh, NC 27601-1408
(919) 821-1120

When:
THURSDAY, JANUARY 19
8pm

THE DEAD KENNY Gs Upcoming Tour Dates:
January 14 | Crow Bar | Tampa, FL
January 16 | Will's Pub | Orlando, FL
January 17 | Jack Rabbits | Jacksonville, FL
January 18 | Pour House | Charleston, SC
January 19 | Pour House | Raleigh, NC
January 20 | Mo Daddy's | Asheville, NC

What the press is saying about The Dead Kenny Gs:

"Describing themselves as "punk jazz," the group embraces elements of jazz, 
metal and Afro-beat with a giddy abandon." - Los Angeles Times

"Given its play-on-words moniker that simultaneously drives a sock down the 
mouth of smooth-jazz king Kenny G and recalls the early '80s hardcore-punk 
band The Dead Kennedys, the powerhouse trio taps into a sound that fuses jazz 
and punk.  It’s a crazy mix played intensely by a group that has the skill 
and knowledge to pull it off." - Alarm Magazine

"…bursts of thrashing metal alternate with cool sax-and-vibes segments, 
whetting one’s appetite for the tablas-fueled Indian jam ahead." - Relix

“The Dead Kenny Gs pinball between styles: Afro-pop, Balkan, Klezmer and 
pocket funk lashed to Middle Eastern modality.” – New York Times

These guys are pretty incredible live, and I will definitely be there. If
you've never seen Skerik play, that alone is worth the trip out.
