Many Arms w/ Geoglyph 4/10/12 Cafe Nine

Duo opener Geoglyph is just drums and guitar/effects but create a lot of sound. Frenetic drumming on a simple kit reminded me of Ginger Baker and Chris Corsano. Guitar effects and loops also created a full sound worthy of two or three people. Effects dude had a suitcase of tricks like Gary Lucas. With a new release on John Zorn's Tzadik label, Many Arms was a power trio. Drums, guitar, and bass led the squall. This noise-improv world has few listeners, but these guys could play, made me think of Laswell's group with Ronald Shannon Jackson Last Exit.
