IN THE FLOW FESTIVAL III

Riddled with obstacles.. but once again Instagon appeared at this 3rd annual happening presented by Ross Hammond and the Greater Broadway Partnership called IN THE FLOW FESTIVAL. .. We were a late addition to this event, not on the original press release, but generously offered a morning spot on the 3rd day of the event, which we gladly accepted.  (thank you Ross!)..a Sunday morning..11am opening spot..   ( BROTHERS AND SISTERS.. please come in and sit your selves down and be ready for the morning revival of the daemonic chaos Sunday morning ritual and possession of the garage jazz virus..)  So .. as i was saying...riddled with obstacles.. we arrived on time....a little after 10am for an 11am set... there was no one at the venue yet to let us in.. .we waited.. finally around 10:25 we were let in and started to setup..  about 10:40 we realized we had no snare or cymbals for the drum kit.. this was fortunately taken care of quickly by there luckily being another drum kit on site being used for the Festival.   ..about 10:50..my bass was plugged in, and it did not work. ..we went frantic looking for a Phillips screwdriver to open the beast up.. and when we finally got inside, i had broken a connection wire.. an easy fix with a soldering iron .. something we did not have available.. a bass was borrowed from someone we are told was actually in Texas and did not know i was using his bass for chaosmagickjazzrituals.. so better not to tell him i suppose.. and after a quick visit by THE CAPTAIN we were off to feeling better about this whole thing and ready to pull some whoop-ass on the Sunday Morning easy vibe..
Joining us for this session were local favorites CHAD E. WILLIAMS, DEX LOPAZ, & D.RAY GRISHAM, who just tears up the wind with a trumpet in our mix.. Its great to be able to add that element to the shows lately...also playing horn, but Saxophone was our special guest of the morning RENT ROMUS (Lords of Outland) from San Franscisco!  Rend came to play.. and play he did.. just taking the stage by storm and playing a firey set for such an early morning time window!
It was a short set by normal show standards..but it was a LOT of fun and some really awesome grooves happened..  the "Deamon's Tube" from this set is nearly 11 minutes and just MOVES!!. 

this show is available for download for only $3
.. share it with a friend ...spread the virus..
