Fix your bayonets and start marching, children. We got ourselves some nasty bidness up ahead. And be certain you’ve got your InfraGard ID’s at the ready, so we know you’re one of the good guys.

Friday, March 28, Marsh Woodwinds, 8 pm, +/- 5 bucks: The Savage Knights w/Peter Lamb and the Wolves, and Mark Wells (solo piano).
People keep asking me when the Savage Knights are going to play again — usually couched in the form of “Aren’t you in a band or something?”
If there’s enough of an audience quorum, Peter and the Wolves will start just after 8. So we’ll probably end up going on around 10. Maybe earlier.
A night of jazz (except we rock), on Person St, just down from the Krispy Kreme.
These days the Savage Knights are Chris Eubank on cello, Joey Chorley on bass, Mike Isenberg on drums, Brian Donohoe on Moog and aux percussion, and Slowfeet Bob on guitar & reeds.

Friday, April 4, Capitol City Grocery, 7-9 pm: Beat Congress.
I’m filling in for Parrish Anderson with the Beat Congress. That’s with Christopher Thurston and Jubal Creech. At a grocery store. If the old theories about music influencing consumer desires are true then no one’s going to buy shit while we’re playing.

Friday, April 4, The Cavern Tavern, Chapel Hill, 10:30: Dexter Romweber and the New Romans.
That’s right. We’re going to try to squeeze into the Cave again.

Saturday, April 5, The Good Cherry, Forest, VA: Razor Wire Safety Net with Nizmet.
We’ll be improvising. They’ll be belly-dancing.
Somewhere near Lynchburg.

Monday, April 7, Downtown Events Center, Raleigh, 10 pm: The Savage Knights with Health and Mt. Weather.
Not quite sure about the order yet, but Health is headlining. They’re a rock/synth thing kind of after the fashion of Kraftwerk and other kraut exemplars.
Don’t know nothin’ about Mt. Weather. You try googling them and see what happens.

Friday, April 11, Charlotte
Saturday, April 12, Raleigh: Project Bluebird.
People keep asking me when Project Bluebird is going to play again — usually couched in the form of “Are you still doing music?”
This will be a sort of CDR-release weekend for the chamber free jazz group.
