ISSUE Project Room announces “Jonathan Kane’s February Live at ISSUE Project Room,” recorded over two floor-shaking evenings at ISSUE Project Room in the Old American Can Factory. Jonathan Kane’s live band February takes blues to the breaking point, at New York’s leading presenterof experimental music.
Jonathan Kane has burned a spectacular trail through the experimental rock scene: as a found-ing member of No Wave behemoth Swans; as the percussive thunder behind the minimalist ensembles of La Monte Young and the guitar armies of Rhys Chatham. Now, welcome his live band February, which strips varnish with its post-post reinvention of the blues. Featuring guitarists Peg Simone, Jon Crider and David Bicknell, bassist Adam Wills, produced and recorded by Igor Cubralovic, “February Live at ISSUE Project Room” is a blistering document of the band live in performance and its visceral connection with its audience.
