SETLIST: Show 507 -IN THE FLOW FEST, Records (on Broadway), Sacramento,CA 6-27-09

This past weekend Instagon appeared as part of the 2nd annual IN THE FLOW festival in Sacramento. The festival is focused on exposure to the local Sacramento and northern California contemporary jazz innovators who grace our fair state. It was a great 3 day event with bands and poets performing in 5 different venues with all form of jazz being represented. Not to let the GARAGE JAZZ arm of the great beast called jazz be ignored.. INSTAGON appeared on Saturday afternoon at RECORDS (on Broadway). This year we appeared as a trio (last year it was as quartet). The show was sorta odd and hard to get started.. the venue was not really prepared for a live show.. but soon got it all dialed in.. and we we just happy to be in the air conditioning as it was 105+ outside in the Sacramento heat. As this show approached there was an issue with Instagon needing someone to play drums... and so we set off to the land called Craigs List. and returned with our new friend HORRIBLE JOHN.. who was just fun and wonderful to play with, not very horrible at all. Dan Quillan aka Art Lessing rounded out this trio.. he came armed with his guitar and a box of pedals and effects to make the ears drool. We played for about 35 minutes... it was really great.. thanks to everyone that came out to support it.

SETLIST: Show 506 - Luna's Cafe, Sacramento,CA 6-12-09

Instagon show 506 happened at Luna's Cafe in Sacramento, CA on Friday, June 12, 2009. This show was a decent show, but really louder than usual due to the sheer force and power of the drummer, Brody Cole. The evening started quiet and moody with a great set from Between Ravens & Crows from Orange County..mostly percussion and tribal instruments..very ambient and soothing. Very trance like.. it was nice. The next set was from a band from Roseville called Optic Seance (formerly Cryptic Vibe). They opened thier set with Pink Floyd's "Breath", and also played 3 more Floyd covers in thier set. It was only their 2nd show as as trio (formerly were a quartet) and they did pretty well and brought a lot of friends. Instagon rounded out the evening. The group was Lob with Chad Williams on guitar, Brody Cole on drums (from Eye of the Architect), and Susan Hunt (from waning) on keyboards. "The Sickeness" was the highlight song of the set. We played for 65 minutes. here is the set list:
