Colin Fisher Trio - unknown, part 1

A fairly joyous evening in the Southern Cross, with lots of friendly faces re-encountering each other at this one-off, pre-festival show being presented by TONE. (Sidenote: the TONE festival is returning, with shows mostly clustered next month, and it looks fabulous!) This combo, with Colin Fisher (sax, guit) alongside Nick Fraser (drums) and Andrew Furlong (double bass), lead things off. Nominally a new unit, the biggest chunk of newness among these frequent collaborators was the material written by Fisher, leading all three into some intense, shred-y zones. (This may have been the closest I've ever seen Fraser come to playing full on blastbeats!) Rousing stuff, and a reminder of why you want to be there in the room to hear stuff like this happen.

[Colin Fisher will be playing with a slighly different trio (joined by Furlong and Mike Gennaro on drums) at his monthly Musica Universalis series at The Tranzac next Saturday (May 28th).]
