Working with these two artists is always a thrill and it’s always easy to get to music quickly. That’s what we needed to do when we played with Busdriver and Daedelus at the Little Temple in Silverlake earlier this month. We had the day to get the music together. So we set a time and met at the club and rehearsed the music for the night. The set with Daedelus was really fun to put together. He had a bunch of pre written songs that he played us. These are songs that he can deconstruct in the moment – loop bits – and isolate sounds making them easy to play over. We picked about 6 or 7 and then we worked out general shapes and then had a good idea of what to play. This Spring we’re going to record an album with Daedelus, so this was a good night to start to get ready for that. With Busidriver, there are around ten or eleven songs that we have arranged with him over the years. He posted on his facebook something to the effect of ” come hear me perform some of these classics for the last time…”. Anyhow, he’s really fun to play with and super easy and reactive. I really hope that someday we get a chance to work together in the studio. Here’s a clip of the last song we played that night called “Imaginary Places” (the clip was masterfully shot and edited by Alex Chaloff):
