Psychedubasaurus REX is a new Atlanta SUPER group composed of Hijacking Music musicians.
MATTA GAWA is an improvising drums+guitar duo hailing from Washington DC. Building with time and texture, their music is deeply connected to the methods and spirit of jazz, while retaining the electric backbone of creative rock music. Loosely translated, MATTA GAWA means river of moments- an apt description for their spontaneously composed flow of singing guitars, free-form drumming, howling feedback, sub-blasting bass, stagger-stepped odd-time signatures, polyrhythmic beatrock + guitar solos.
Both founder members of DC’s New Atlantis Collective of musicians, drummer Sam Lohman has also worked with early NYHC legends Sheer Terror, the Radon Collective, Steve Mackay of the Stooges, and the Acid Mothers Temple. Guitarist Ed Ricart works with Marshall Allen of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Peter Brotzmann, Herb Robertson, Jason Ajemian, G. Calvin Weston, and members of avant rock legends Fugazi, Bardo Pond, Pinback, Stinking Lizaveta, and the Swirlies.
Upcoming releases include ‘BA’ on Engine Studios (distributed internationally though ESP-DiSK) and an LP/CDR release on Thor’s Rubber Hammer. A second CD is set for a Spring 2011 release on New Atlantis Records (curated by Ed Ricart, and home to recordings by Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink, and many more)-

"…over the past year or so, the instrumental quartet Kuan has emerged as one of the most engaging live acts currently working in Dayton. With a relentless drive and a keen mastery of dynamic shifts, mood, and texture, Kuan bridges the chasms between jazz, post-rock, and math-rock and the results are breathtaking. Kuan oozes copious riffage, shape-shifting rhythms, and a fearless command of spaces both delicate and bombastic. Their live show is an experience not to be missed." -The Buddha Den
