Location: Comma Courtyard, 312 S. Carson St.

Max writes, "The band features me on guitar, Bijou Bell on drums, and Rowan Williams on bass trumpet. This band is a project put together by the three of us as an outlet for our compositions, as well as a setting to pay our respects to some of the great artists across all genres that have inspired us. It is also an experiment in an unconventional instrumentation as a way to open our ears to different ways of playing familiar songs, and challenge ourselves to be creative in the way we interact with each other."
