Described as a fermentation of Afro-Celtic Punk Jazz, Pavees Dance wanders through an all new array of Sean Noonan compositions brewed in a wide spectrum of poetry by Malcolm Mooney from his earlier years with CAN to the present.

Noonan describes himself as an "Irish griot", one who collects tales, legends, and life stories over the course of his journeys and transforms them into the raw material, not only from drumming, but in all of his music. Together with Alex Marcelo, his alter ego, they track down Malcolm Mooney, the original Can singer (back to "Monster Movie"). The latter remains famous for having been the shooting-star voice, half Soul, half psychedelic, of one of the more influential experimental Rock band in History. If it wasn't for a few cameo appearances on stage, Mooney has devoted himself to poetry, sculpture and teaching for forty years. His return is one of many beautiful gifts the "Irish griot" gives us.
On February 22nd, Pavees Dance returns from a double bill with Pere Ubu at the Sons d'Hiver festival in Paris and makes available to the public a pre-release limited edition CD Picture Book "There's Always the Night" that feature over 20 new art works by Mooney in an collectors item lyric CD book.

Nate Chinen, New York Times - "The drummer and composer Sean Noonan approaches postmodern jazz and world music from the same angle of self-discovery ... he manages to make his pieces speak coherently, and in a unified voice."
"This is not the typical release but an experience. A dynamic and virtually flawless execution of art at an apex of creativity few can match." Brent Black @CriticalJazz
"You think this might be boring? C’mon man, relax, this is Sean Noonan…it’s like nothing else out there." Something Else!S. Victor Aaron
