The Thing Ruby´s BBQ tour
Mats Gustafsson (Sweden) - saxophones
Ingebrigt Haker Flaten (Norway) - bass
Paal Nilssen-Love (Norway) - drums
The THING is quite simply one of the most flat-out rocking bands in any genre of music, period. Tearing down the walls that separate free jazz/punk rock/garage/noise/improv etc. with wicked glee, The Thing shine a searing hot light on the idiocy of getting hung up on categories. With a songbook that includes tunes by Don Cherry, PJ Harvey, White Stripes, Lightning Bolt, James Blood Ulmer, Mongezi Feza, The Ex, The Sonics, Frank Lowe, and Ornette Coleman, they weave in and out of themes + improvisations with seamless grace, daredevil flair, and white-hot intensity. This ain't yr daddy's jazz.
