||** NOTES **||

Critters got started late as a long soundcheck/monitor mix set them back. 
I just can't get over how cool those string arrangements by Eyvind Kang are! 

At the end of the Critters set, they took a 5 minute break and came back with the all star jam. For this jam, they had 5 drummers on stage with 3 full drum kits!!   Mike D, Matt Chamberlain, Stanton Moore, David King (The Bad Plus) and Tor Dietrichson on percussion (Seattle old-school percussion legend). The other musicians who joined on stage included Steve Moore on Trombone (Skerik's Taint), Ben Ellman on sax (Galactic), Ronnie Pierce on clarinet (who is incidentally father of Harry who wrote Taint's "Let me be your Voodoo Doll) and the legend Lee Oskar on Harmonica!   Ronnie Pierce was having a great time...but clearly doesn't know the song Zombie.  Zombie which always has the makings of an incredible jam, fizzled after a long clarinet solo that took the song in a different direction.

# Zombie which usually results in a long ass wicked jam, sort of fizzled...Ronnie Pierce apparently isn't familiar with the song, but his big band style solo was still pretty cool.

If you tape Critters Buggin, send a copy to the band, and support truly independent music by buying their studio cds. Their new cd "Stampede" is out now.
