Alex Fournier/Phil Melanson/Nilan Perera - [third piece]

Nilan Perera's self-curated set at this SynapticCircus night saw him on electric guitar and joined by the rhythm section of Alex Fournier (double bass) and Phil Melanson (drumkit). The latter was especially fun to watch — in all of his recent work with quiet, subtle percussion, one can forget that he's still a helluva drummer — even if he's still taking things outside in sets like this when he, say, puts away his sticks and pulls out his garden trowels.

[SynapticCircusSundays will be back at The Tranzac on Sunday, March 8th.]
