Without Annette...

Ahhh yesss.... We finally have some Nomeus Trio to share with you all!!! Sorry it's been awhile since I last posted something, but here we go now...

This performance occurred on Saturday, April 7th, 2007 at the now defunct Sahara Hookah Lounge in downtown Milford, Michigan. I called Sahara on Wednesday, April 4th just to see how to go about booking a show there... they immediately asked if we were available for that Saturday. I called up the other guys to see if they were up for it (i didn't think they would be), and they were!

See, we had only rehearsed together a handful of times, and we only had about 4 or 5 songs (originals and covers) ready to go. We were required to play from 10 pm to 1 am, so we dove in head first with some ridiculous (and brave) improvisations. This show did include the 4 or 5 songs mentioned above (I didn't include them here), but the improvisations really seemed to take off. Noone in attendance seemed interested in our presence, which I believe helped us out a bit. Also, the tiny venue's over-the-top light show definitely pushed us into the unknown. I must add that though the whole thing was a nerve trip, it was alot of fun. Also, it was the eve of my birthday, so some imbibification was involved. Hey, it was my birthday, deal with it!

Anyway, this collection contains 6 improvisations from that night and the audio is taken directly from a VHS tape that was dubbed from a digital camera. Marc Maddin (of Liquid Illustration) is responsible for the documentation. Thanks Marc!!!

The line-up of the Nomeus Trio at the time of this recording was: johnmoore - guitar, keyboards, vocals / Ben Lewellen - bass / Chad Stultz - drums, sampler. Check out the Nomeus Trio myspace page!

As always, thank you, and please leave a comment!!!
