Yo, looping people, My band Eleven Eyes is doing an Oregon/California tour in the next few weeks, and would love to meet some more of you at our shows. In the past, I've been kind of hesitant to use LD to pump our shows, even though I think most of the list would at least find us interesting, we're not really a looping band. But that's changing, we're starting to include looping via Ableton Live into our sets. The band is a 6-piece avant jazz/funk/hip-hop/electronic kind of thing, we've been described, with IMHO a bit of hyperbole, as The Mahavishnu Orchestra meets DJ Shadow, those are pretty good reference points even if we're not quite at that level. We're touring in support of our new CD Scope, which will be available at CDBaby any day now. Or, you can get information at http://www.eleveneyes.org, which, however, is down for maintenance for the next day or so. You can check out our schedule at JamBase, http://www.jambase.com/search.asp?bandID=16153 Anyway, the dates are: Friday, 6/3: The Shedd Institute, Eugene, OR, 2 shows, all-ages at 6:30, 21+ at 9 Saturday, 6/4: Squirrels Tavern, Corvallis, OR Tuesday, 6/7: Six Rivers Brewery, McKinkeyville, CA Wednesday, 6/8: Caspar Inn, Caspar, CA Thursday, 6/9: The Last Day Saloon, San Francisco, with Grand Groovement Friday, 6/10: The Jupiter, Berkeley Saturday, 6/11: Sweet Springs Saloon, San Luis Obispo Sunday, 6/12: off, but we may try to attend the 2nd Sunday looping show in Santa Cruz Monday, 6/13: The Bistro, Hayward CA Wednesday, 6/15: The Divided Sky, South Lake Tahoe, CA Thursday, 6/16: The Martini Ranch, Encinitas, CA Friday, 6/17: El Cid, Silverlake, Los Angeles The band is: Tim McLaughlin: trumpet, laptop, fx Matt Calkins: saxes, fx Mike Pardew: guitar Dave Trenkel: bass, keyboards, laptop Steve Weems: drums JD Monroe, AKA The Turntable Enabler: turntables, samples, live processing, percussion
