Stone NYC

Checked out the stone NYC it's a place run by John Zorn for avante garde bands, It was really tiny and Humid in there.

There was a band called the secret chiefs 3, it's pretty much the project of
Trey spruance. Very wierd mix of music, at times they would
sound like a surf band then bust into a middle eastern tinged riff, with violin screeching melodies
and then end in a haunting passage etc...Unique, odd and cool sounding stuff.

Trey looks a lot like Frank Zappa i realized, surrounded by 6 musicians he was pretty much band leader making lots of hand signals and gestures to all the young musicians in his band.

The only memory i have of Trey is Mr bungle playing at Tom's house back in the day,
I gotta get more of his stuff.
