this SATURDAY, the KARL STRAUB CRONYISM TOURESIDENCY has two (2) SPECIAL guests at the deej--

EUGENE CHADBOURNE and JIMMY CARL BLACK!

The Karl Straub Cronyism Concert Series at the Deej will feature plenty 
of music by Straub's regular group, the Karl Straub Combo. there will also 
be special guests, selected from the musicians Straub has met and worked 
with over the years. upcoming guests are top secret at presstime, but on 
September 8 the bill will include the duo of Eugene Chadbourne and Jimmy 
Carl Black. Chadbourne is  legendary so-called "avant-garde" musician who 
has recorded with the Violent Femmes, Camper Van Beethoven, Evan Johns, Hank 
Williams's steel guitar player Don Helms, John Zorn, members of the Texas 
Tornados, etc. Straub owns about 80 hours of Chadbourne recordings, and it's 
only a fraction of his output.  Chadbourne's eclectic and irreverent 
approach to blurring the line between genres was an enormous influence on 
Straub's music.

Jimmy Carl Black played drums on many classic albums with Frank Zappa's 
original Mothers of Invention. Known as "the Indian of the group," Black was 
and is a master of the backbeat, the life's blood of the blues, r&b, and 
rock and roll.

the Chadbourne/Black duo will play many styles, probably including vintage 
r&b and rock and roll as well as older traditional and folk idioms, and  
newer jazz and psychedelia. there should be a lot of cross-pollination at 
the show, with Straub sitting in with the duo, and the duo sitting in with 
the Combo. this is a unique show that you should not miss.
