Set List - session 526 - Jan 25, 2010 - Marilyn's On K St., Sacramento, CA

Instagon 526

Jan. 25, 2010

Marilyns on K Street
Sacramento, CA

First just let me start by saying that we like Marilyn's!.. the sound there is great, Jeff, Jay, and everyone else there are really great people.  They always treat us like friends rather than just another band thru the door, and that really goes a long way for sure.   Instagon played a couple of shows last year at Marilyn's and like is said, we like it there, and so we were happy to be back in 2010.  This show came together rather short notice, and the tails of the headlining band MOO GOT 2 from Arcata,CA.  They are a cool jam band and had a show booked for that Monday, we asked if there was room and Jeff said we could play a 30 min. set.   Then we got notice from the cool guys from MG2 that they wanted to let us use their backline, so we didnt have to bring drums or a bass rig.. and so it made the night way easy to deal with.  Thanks again to the guys from MG2.   It was a Monday.. and it was raining!  so getting a lot of heads out was probably not gonna happen.. so we make the best of it and rocked hard for the people that were there.. it was a small crowd of about a dozen or so people, including our friend Stefano Zeroli (Ink On Suit), who came out in the rain to support the show... (thanks Stefano!)

We took the stage a little after 8pm and was told, to our surprise that we had til 9pm to play.. and we did!.. playing a 50 minute set!  This ensemble had not one, but 2 new players in the Instagon mix for the first time.. John Keeling (Volcano School) who has seen Instagon a few times made his debut on guitar as player 537, and our new friend Marco Fuoco (Marco Fuoco's Illumination) came in to fill the horn position playing both tenor and alto sax throughout the set.  The core was once again filled by the Garage Jazz Architects (Lob, Chad, & Mark).  The show started a little wobbly.. the Invokation did not just melt into the first riff.. it was a bumpy jump off into the Joyride...but once it was going, the flow was on..the Deamon's Tube got great response from the small audience.. and the "Cozmic" was just ..uhm..out of this world..lol.  The Little Turtle wasnt as jumpy as it has been recently.. but the Echophobic, was really very cool and had lots of great fluidity to it....Thee Sickness closer was a jazzy version of this riff, similar to the version from Davis Jazz Fest back in October (session #517).  Everyone seemed to have a great time.. and then Moo Got 2 came on and played 2 sets of great jams and tight songs and got the small crowd off their feet and onto the dance floor.. even Stefano and Jeff were out there tearing it up!
