Here we have a very different kind of show—three fine local bands taking the stage together for a tripartite experiment in collaboration. Part one: a round-robin of short sets from each act. Part two: members of each band sit in on each others’ songs—P Smoov (of Fresh Espresso) adds vocoder to Head Like a Kite’s electro rock, Truckasauras provide analog instrumentation for Fresh Espresso’s raps, etc. Part three: everyone onstage all at once for some epic jams. Part four, according to HLAK drummer and Stranger contributor Trent Moorman: “We fill Neumos with three feet of warm mud, blindfold everyone, and play ‘Mr. Vodka Shot’s Wild Hide-and-Go-Find-the-Bowling-Trophy.'” (Neumos, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 8 pm, $10, 21+.)

Seems doable and a hell of a lot of fun. A team of volunteers the day before for set-up. A team for the day after clean-up. Let us (commentidiots) know if it’s a go, and I’ll bring down my video cam. It might be worth documenting. Maybe 30 years from now it will be neat to flood the Kindlewaves with some pre-retro thought mud; seldom seen before footage! Again, seems doable and a hell of a lot of fun.
