Chris Pitsiokos, Luge, Colin Fisher Trio at Tranzac Club

CHRIS PITSIOKOS with LUKE STEWART, CHRIS WILLIAMS & JASON NAZARY (https://chrispitsiokos.bandcamp.com)

Bouncing bass lines & speedy drum patterns pull you in, as Luge seamlessly morphs from a languid stroll into chaotic spazz punk fury. Absurdist vocals wander amongst mangled guitar notes.
