GARY LUCAS’ GODS AND MONSTERS are a psychedelic jazz-rock power trio / jamband providing a metallic KO to all open-eared listeners. Those in the know who have followed Gary Lucas’ career from Captain Beefheart through Jeff Buckley and Beyond know to expect the unexpected when Gary’s in the house. Here, Lucas adds the mighty drummer Calvin Weston (Ornette Coleman, Lounge Lizards) and longtime rock-solid bassist Ernie Brooks (original Modern Lovers, Arthur Russell) into the mix for a groove-a-licious explosive journey into the outlands. Combining blues, psychedelic rock, metal, and free jazz, see for yourself why Gods and Monsters have been hailed as a “21st Century Cream” and Gary Lucas “one of the most original guitarists in America” by Rolling Stone. The band recently returned from a sold-out show at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville and a sold-out tour of Japan-- and now they’re all warmed up and ready for YOU.
