This night at Track Could Bend gathered a whole bunch of musicians that the recently-departed Ted Phillips really enjoyed — my main goal for the night was to put together a show that he would have really wanted to come out for. But of course the other goal was for a community to come together and remember a sound-maker and listener who was both a performer and audience member at this series. A last-minute programming change meant that some extra Friends of Ted were invited along, splitting into two trios, followed by a joint effort. There were radio blasts, strange syntheses, guitar noodles and even an exploding bass bridge — I think Ted would have been delighted.

You can check out footage of the full sets over on youtube:

[There will be a larger-scale community remembrance forthcoming in September for Ted — keep your eyes peeled for more info soon. Meanwhile, Track Could Bend will be back at Wenona on Tuesday, September 5th with sets from Ancient Egypt and Body Hammer.]
