Free Feature Show Following Primus Supporting Role

It is our absolute pleasure to announce that jazz-punk trio The Dead Kenny Gs (DKGs) will be performing at the Hurricane Bar & Lounge on Sunday, June 5th for the weekly BLP Rockout with your Cookout. That’s right, the night after they open for Primus at the Fillmore Theatre in Miami, DKGs will play their only solo gig of their extended nationwide tour supporting Primus and throw down a FREE show in Delray Beach. Saxophonist Skerik (Critters Buggin, Garage a Trois, Col. Claypool’s Frog Brigade & Fancy Band, Crack Sabbath, bassist Brad Houser (New Bohemians, Critters Buggin, Mingtrones) and drummer/percussionist Mike Dillon (Anti DiFranco, Billy Goat, Hairy Apes BMX, Ten Hands) have been described by the New York Times as “a pinball between styles: Afro-pop, Balkan, Klezmer and pocket funk lashed to Middle Eastern modality.”

If the moniker for the combustible punk jazz trio The Dead Kenny Gs (DKGs) doesn’t say it all at first glance, one listen to their new album Operation Long Leash quickly puts it all in focus. Saxophonist Skerik (Critters Buggin, Garage a Trois, Col. Claypool’s Frog Brigade & Fancy Band, Crack Sabbath, bassist Brad Houser (New Bohemians, Critters Buggin, Mingtrones, etc.) and drummer/percussionist Mike Dillon (Anti DiFranco, Billy Goat, Critters Buggin, Garage A Trois, hairy Apes BMX, Ten Hands, etc.) are committed to musical subversion of the highest order. Precisely shifting gears between a muso obsession of musical styles and sonic colors, The Dead Kenny Gs have both the courage and the chops to realize their wildest aural visions. At one moment they’ll draw inspiration from punk legends The Minutemen, the next finds them embracing the spirit of jazz giant Rahsaan Roland Kirk and yet still another twist finds the pull of indie rock progenitors Deerhoof; yet all the while sounding purely DKGs. To further that extent, it’s not just music informing the trio’s voice, but a keen understanding of political conspiracy in American history. The album’s title, Operation Long Leash, comes from the clandestine CIA operation in the late ‘40s to fund Abstract Expressionism as a means for Western culture to undermine the rigid, confined and conformist ideals of the Soviet Union during the early years of the Cold War. www.thedeadkennygs.com
