Ahleuchatistas + Angell / Holenbeck / Karriem / Nasralla
Enjoy an evening of avant garde and experimental music!
Ahleuchatistas is an avant-rock trio that formed in 2002. They play instrumental music that is meticulously thru-composed and relentlessly paced from beginning to end, morphing through perpetually evolving subtle variations of unfolding poly-tonal melodies that are simultaneously angular and organic. The current lineup is Shane Parish on guitar, Trevor Dunn on bass, and Danny Piechocki on drums.
