Gathering to celebrate DJ Peter Black’s birthday, the altered Tjutjuna lineup last week resulted in a very unique show.  Robert was unable to attend, so Adam Shaffner scrapped guitar, theremin, and electronics in favor of playing bass for the night.  Dylan Shumaker joined James Barone in the rhythm section behind a second drum kit, and Peter Black provided samples and textures.  With only two members on their regular instruments (Brian on guitar and James on drums), you’ll likely never hear another Tjutjuna set like this.

If you haven’t heard, Hello Kavita will be playing one last gig this weekend before going on hiatus.  They’re appearing at the UMS outdoor stage on Sunday afternoon, so don’t miss it!  Their penultimate performance last Friday was one of the band’s best:  they were aware that every song counted.  At one point, Corey mentions writing new songs, so hopefully we’ll be seeing him out again in the future.
