OVERVIEW:
Ken Vandermark and Paal Nilssen-Love have played together since 2000 in various settings and as duo since 2002. They have produced 5 CD's. The most recent was recorded live in Chicago and Milwaukee in 2008. The duo work within a free expression while including a strong element of heavy rhythmic groove, melody, sound and noise.
 
Together, they have hit the road with the guitarists from the Dutch experimental noise outfit The Ex (Touch & Go Records). The Ex have held on for 30 years with experimental angular noise rock and punk with a power and freshness unrivalled in the world of independent music. Andy Moor and Terrie Ex have a musical interaction that is both original and unique to the 2 guitar players. They mix elements of rock, free improvisation, traditional folk and abstract noise to create their own very unique soundworld.
 
This duo meeting, crashes along sometimes creating a cacophonous racket but always musical and always ready to change direction or turn a new corner. The music is extrovert, energetic, powerful and inclusive but also confrontational and provocative, where rhythm, noise, melody and harmony melt together in perfect union.
 
This is the first live documentation of this new monster, recorded live in concert the 19th Of March 2008 at Bimhuis, Amsterdam. Volume 2 will be released later in the year, stay tuned!
