Thursday 01.13.10: GARY LUCAS’ CAPTAIN BEEFHEART SYMPOSIUM plus SPECIAL GUESTS @ Echoplex

GARY LUCAS || LISTEN || WATCH

GARY LUCAS, featured guitar soloist and member of the final edition of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, celebrates the career of visionary American maverick genius Don Van Vliet a/k/a Captain Beefheart, who changed the face of music forever over a career spanning a dozen brilliant and uncompromising albums, spanning 1967′s groundbreaking “Safe as Milk” through 1969′s radical “Trout Mask Replica” and finishing with 1982′s elegant “Ice Cream for Crow”.

A legendary composer/songwriter/bandleader/poet and painter, Don Van Vliet has been honored over the years by everyone from Johnny Rotten and Joe Strummer to Bob Dylan, Bono, David Lynch and Anton Corbijn — but is still relatively (and unfairly) unknown to the public at large.

During the symposium Gary Lucas will show rare footage of the band live, spin unreleased tracks, and project slides of Van Vliet’s brillaint paintings and drawings, discuss the history of the group and many of the great musicians who came through the ranks of The Magic Band, and also illustrate Van Vliet’s quirky and idiosyncratic methodologies and techniques on his guitar.- Culture Mob

    How many people can your space hold? I have a feeling it's going to be sold out now that Don has passed. This will be the show / tribute of the year
    Everybody have fun hope I can make it.
