–for the first performance of Matthew Mottel’s Artist in Residency he brings to issue the CSC FUNK Band. In existence for over 2 years, they have been a happening vibe at parties/lofts/warehouses and clubs. Already out is a 45 rpm 7″ on Electric Cowbell with a split single to follow. In October they toured 8 men in one van up to Montreal and back on a 9 day sojourn. This gig on the 19th finds them at the home strectch of a 7 day tour where they will share the stage with the founder of BlackFlag ‘the greatest punk band ever’ who now leads an improvisational unit called ‘Greg Ginn and the Texas Corrugators’

Greg Ginn and the Taylor Texas Corrugators are an instumental group that incorporate many styles into their music. Rock/jazz/country/blues/latin/psychedelia all find their way into the mix. On the two studio recordings (Bent Edge released in 2007, and Goof Off Experts released in 2008), Greg plays all of the instruments except drums. We offer these recordings as free downloads. If you like them and feel they are worthwhile to pay for, we suggest making a donation to kittenrescue.org. These people do great work with cats. Live, the Corrugators are quite a different proposition. Playing about 150 shows (most of them opening for JAMBANG) in the last year, the group played 100% improvised sets. On the next tour, look for the Corrugators to introduce some sound loops into a portion of the set at times. For the tours, Greg has enlisted the JAMBANG members for the Corrugators as well, with Ginn playing bass/guitar, Gary Piazza on guitar, and Sean Hutchinson (borrowed from the New Moonson) on drums. http://www.myspace.com/txcorrugators
