KGB JAM 9/21/09 Review

It was a pleasure to celebrate the Autumn Equinox with all of our talented friends. This "acoustic" gathering somehow turned into a full blown rock show... performed by "Wild Yaks". The first song "Angle Eyes", had the Triangle of power (Mia, Liliana &Johnny D)

holding our hearts in our hands as the neighbors called to ponder what we were doing. I quickly jumped in and gave the boys a drink break, LOL. While we readjusted the sound levels. Zack, Rob, Dan & Martin sat in a semi circle embracing there boyhood forever. It was inspiring to

see how they adapted to the original ACOUSTIC plan. Martin's Drum set was taken away, to my heart ache. As Wild Yaks played "Crazy But Not Afraid" he showed us the spirit of a true drummer, performing his drum solo on the window gates, the wooden table tops, the chairs and his tambourine!!! For ever I will remember you as Animal from the Muppet's.

My heart goes out to you!

Being in such a small space "Wild Yaks" maintained the energy and delivery of

a large venue and brought us in closer to there core spirit.

We had a lot of great music at KGB Jam - 9/21/09, performed by "Wild Yaks"

Robert Bryn - (Bronco) Vocals & Guitar

Dan Scinta- Bass

Martin Cartagena- (Animal) Drums

Aztec Economy "9 Yodels"

Our first time bringing in an improv group... http://newyorkisdead.net/ with performers Michael Mason & Cole Wimpee, they did an original piece written by Casey Wimpee "9 Yodels". The Actors took there places slowly. Through a repetitive organic sound they began to fill the room like a sand storm. I watched a wave of awareness take over the audience. Cole was the earth and Michael was the sky... The struggle of survival, a man's most inner thoughts were felt.

I will be interviewing Casey, Cole & Michael next week, stay tuned.

JohnnyD, Mia & I were very proud to have introduced a new element to the KGB Jam
