There's this guy who lives in Brooklyn, his name is Jared Barron. He happens to be one of my top three drummers in the world. Ever.When I met him he was playing drums for Primordial Undermind but he's played in a bunch of other bands too - Viva Nada, Purse Snatchers, he even played drums for Thought Forms during an East Coast jaunt, not to mention being a part of that amazing 77 Boadrum.
He also happens to be a pretty damn awesome musician off the drums... he can rock out on the guitar pretty good.
So, he's been threatening to embark on some solo-guitar action for a while now and today I got a really exciting email to say that it's finally happening!
He's playing at 3rd Ward's annual birthday BBQ - 3rd Ward is an organisation / space in Brooklyn which gives creative people an opportunity to - well, to be creative.
They provide facilities and resources (such as studios for photography, jewellery making, wood and metal shops) as well as classes and a supportive artistic community - a great place, basically.
Jared is going to be sound-tracking some visuals which are taking place.
If you're in New York, go and check it out.
I wish that I could.
