Set List - session 525 - Jan 23, 2010 - Vega's Nightclub, Old Sacramento, CA

Instagon 525
January 23, 2010

Vega's Nightclub, Sacramento,CA

Well it was a cold and rainy night as the deamon descended upon Old town Sacramento for our first excursion there..but that did not prevent us from having a great night of fun and chaotic acid jazz in our new favorite place in Old Sac, VEGA'S NIGHTCLUB!  The line up was set to be Chikading, followed by THE POLYMERS, and then Instagon, session 525. All of the early sets were really great. CHIKADING was a little more relaxed than they have been at recent past shows.. but they were still on fire as usual with their great new fusion grooves that they are getting a reputation for laying down.  The POLYMERS followed with a great set of psychedelic edged garage pop.. great catchy riffs and awsome songs, plus some cool covers like "Quinn the Eskimo" and Pink Floyd's "Lucirfer Sam".

 

 Instagon took the stage sometime around 11:30pm and played til nearly 1am.

This session was a 6 piece ensemble featuring the Garage Jazz Architects (Lob, Chad E. WIlliams, Mark Halverson) at the core of the beast.. and with Dex Lopaz from Chikading playing some keyboard... also Matt Kretzmann from DELAYED SLEEP came out and played guitar for this session. It was his first session since Jan. 2009 (session #490), over a year!.. and it after many times asking, but not having our schedules make it available, this session was the debut Instagon set for local jazz man Tony Passarell.

The set was really drenched in thick gooey chaos from the very start.. and it stayed that way throughout the adventure.  Chad, Dex, & Tony were doing really great things between them and it was really awesome. Thee Sickness was probably the hot spot in the set.. but thats just from my opinion.. your could very.
