cuz 2015 tour


from august 26 to september 12



   the end of this summer will see the first time ever gigs from cuz which is a band me and sam dook from brighton, england have. also on board w/us for this tour will be eda kazuhisa to help us out w/the drums. now this tour is kind of a surprise for me cuz the whole cuz proj never had any intention of live gigs. it was cooked up between me and sam when he was working for the go! team like seven years ago... I was in london and had some days off between gigs working bass for the stooges so I took the train down to brighton to have a three day blowout w/brother sam on drums and me on bass, just wailing on it for three days! he later went through all that (we recorded 'pert-near everything) and instead of using 70s records and tv show soundtracks for samples like his boss ian did w/the go! team, we instead became "our own samples" w/these bits of our jams being used as builiding blocks for tunes we would then add more of ourselves and others to create what would become the "tamatebako" album - please read bob stires' review and you can also check out bleeding heart recordings boss chris davies' cuz 2015 tour press release (as well as his one for the album) BUT then please don't bail yet though cuz here's videos for five of the album's tunes:
