[ROCK] A supergroup of sorts, Stick Men is a proggy King Crimson spinoff with a twist: the Chapman Stick, which sounds a bit like slap-bass. Comprised of Crimson’s Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin along with German instrumental whizz Markus Reuter, the trio is a percussive frenzy with one drummer and two sticks. What’s remarkable is the breadth of sound they make within those parameters, sounding quite unlike anything else you’ve heard, while traversing the common territory of Crimson/Fripp material along with some left-field cover choices: Stick Men’s version of Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite” is a live staple. Stick Men strike the hammer at The Waiting Room on Tuesday, August 29 upstairs at the Studio at the Waiting Room.
