Venice Gas House Trolley?
You might be asking yourself what the heck is a Venice Gas House Trolley? Well quite simply it's a three-piece jazz ensemble formed in the tradition of the Holy Barbarians of the Venice West Beat scene. (The Gashouse was their main hang) Make sense? If not here is a little more info. The band is on a mission to bridge the gap between poetry and music and does so in beat and jazz forms. Adam Pergament, a long time Madison spoken word stalwart, leads the band in a very chill yet gripping self described Flowpoetry. Swing into Phyliss' Musical Inn Thursday night for some hip jive cat daddy.
