This show outside and it was a hot day. We played set of mostly improvisational free jazz with a couple of Instagon garage jazz standards thrown in for good measure. It was originally billed to be a trio with only Chip and Chad, but at the last minute we added Jaroba to sit in for part of the set and it was really worth it. This is one of the last great happenings that went down at the True Love Cafe at its K Street Location.

Comps.Part 5: COMMUNAL DEATH DUCK-PINK PONY : covers, remixes, manipulations, & regurgitations

This is probably the most interesting compilation we have been involved with this year...here is the story..
COMMUNAL DEATH DUCK is a band from Alice, Texas who somehow became "friends" with Instagon via the magick of Myspace.com. Earlier in the year CDD put out a bulletin that they had this great idea for their next album...the idea was to collect a cd of covers and remixes fo their songs done by other artists. It seemed like a pretty good idea.. and so we explored their songs on the web and found one that was very interesting called "The Sunlight in Your Eyes".. it had a very simply bass line, and seemed like it could be pulled of with no warning with a group.. and it was on!
The first time the song appeared in the Instagon set was at Java Lounge in early January 2009. (show 489) .. but with a slight twist...as it was now in the first person and had become "The Sunlight in My Eyes".. the first time it was played, I knew it was gonna be something that we would play a lot more in the future. The very next show was at Marilyns on K St. in Sacramento (show 490) a week later and we played it again. (This is the recording that appears on the compilation).. a couple of days later we contacted CDD and told them we had already recorded 2 versions of this song, and that they could pick one of them for thier collection. Norberto from CDD was really excited .. he was expecting remixes and covers from friends and bands that they KNOW.. but here was one from someone that they didnt know.. ouf of the blue...and thus a friendship was born. The new CD "Communal Death Duck presents PINK PONY: covers, remixes, manipulations, & regugitations" is a collection of 21 different versions of songs by CDD from thier previous 3 CD's done by other bands and friends. Instagon appears doing "The Sunlight in My Eyes" from show 490, recorded at Marilyns on K, Sacramento, CA , January 14, 2009. It features surprizing fun vocals from Lob, and the song has become a regular in the shows so far this year.
