Bud Collins Trio 4/27/17 The Outer Space

Didn't realize that BC3 was part of some local band showcase, which explains the early start time. BC3 hail from Storrs CT, home to the main campus of Uconn. When I was a student in the 80s, BC3 was a staple at Hooligans or Huskies, plying their pre-Phish quirky jamminess. Guitar/vocals, bass, keys/vocals, keys, and drums were their current lineup. Nasally jams punctuated with Zappa time jumps, Trey-like leads, and Moog touches reminded me of the Steely Dannish jams of Percy Hill. One of the first CDs I ever purchased was In The Land of No by BC3, I haven't seen this group since that time, a lifespan of an entire music delivery format. The vocals show age, but the musicianship is still solid.
