The shows, respectively at Luggage Store in S.F., Backroom in Berkeley, Studio Grand in Oakland, Peacock Lounge in S.F., and Bird & Beckett Books and Records in S.F., were all incredibly fulfilling on aesthetic and spiritual levels. It seems safe to say that the members of Cartoon Justice put our all into them; we played hard and intensely. I'm feeling pretty well DRAINED after these shows, but in the best kind of way. It was great to collaborate with Elliott. He's most definitely the kind of poet and player that will have a musician elevating their musical game. What a gas it was to get to go toe to toe with him as he played.
It was also pretty incredible to get to share a stage with cellist Kash Killion for a few nights at Peacock Lounge and Bird & Beckett. He's been a musical hero of mine since I saw him play at Yoshi's in 1994. That was a mind blowing set, and I still think about it a lot. To get to share sound with the man.....incredible.
On account of fatigue, I'm keeping this post really short, but suffice it to say that I'm feeling very lucky and musically fulfilled from New Olduvai's March 2019 SF Bay Area run of shows. These experiences will be cherished, these memories relished.
Big ups to those with whom we shared bills, equipment, and space.
Many thanks to Elliott Levin, Kash Killion, and the members of Cartoon Justice!
