This session was a live in-studio appearance by Instagon that was taped for a Sacramento local cable access TV show called LISTEN UP SACRAMENTO hosted by Erika Kjelstrom on the Access Sacramento Network. The show airs twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, at 11pm.  It airs locally in Sacramento on Comcast channel 17, and streams online as well via the page linked above.   Our show will appear in February, which week in February has yet to be announced.. we will post it on our facebook page when we know.  The session was a quartet.. a larger ensemble was planned but was decimated due to illnesses.  The band that arrived to play included Drew Walker (Doofy Doo), Chad E. Williams (GJA), and Kevin Ian (The Common Men).. and the jams were thick and gooey.. There were a couple of great untitled improv jams that happened during the sound checks...and the session that was on camera was smokin' too!.. Look forward to announcements regarding this upcoming viewing experience that is coming your way!!

Luna's Cafe

Sacramento, CA

Once again back at Luna's Cafe for the NEBRASKA MONDAY Series that is hosted and organized by Ross Hammond.  It had been nearly a years since we played this space last (session #527), & this was Instagon's 14th appearance at Luna's Cafe.
Playing the early spot was a trio called NICE RUG, that was made up of players that have all been part of Instagon in the past (Tony Passarell, Stefano Zeroli, Wayne Sheats). They played some really awesome free jazz with a really low and mellow vibe to it.   Instagon included Jon Bafus on drums, a horn section of Michael Otwell & D.Ray Grisham.. and we invited local guitar hero Victor Contreras from Nagul to hold down the six string duties for the first time.. we had a great time playing.  It was awesome having Victor out to enjoy the fun of garage jazz.

Session 554 set list - last show of 2010 - very late posting

OMG.. so so tardy..
just sorta got carried away and forgot to reflect here at the Deamon's Tube.. it happens.. the holiday season usually is this way.. and we apologize for seemingly vanishing.. the illness that was mentioned in the previous posting, also added to this as well.. but no excuses.. here is the late news.

Fire Escape Bar & Grill
Citrus Heights, CA

Session 554 happened in mid December at the Fire Escape in Citrus Heights.. it was fun night with great bands all around. but the attendance sucked because it was cold and rainey.. and also because the Citrus Heights Police Dept. decided to run a sobriety check point RIGHT IN FRONT of the venue we were playing.. so with flashing red lights chasing everyone away.. it was a drag.. but we played hard anyways.
Instagon featured a core that was the GJA trio.. plus Dan Quillan (Art Lessing), and Steve Coolidge from Volcano School playing his first set with the Deamon. We played a 45min set to open the evening .. it was a good time...because of SICKNESS this show ended up being the last show of 2010.. it was not planned that way.. but that is the way the deamon seems to have wanted it.
