The Rodan Trio
Think of this as more of a reminder than an announcement... For quite a while, Jeff Parker (you may know him as the guitarist from Tortise) has led a weekly performance trio on Tuesdays at Rodan in Wicker Park. They call themselves The Cushicles. Although the line-up will sometimes vary (usually based on touring commitments with one of the bands they are a part of) the base group is rounded out by bassist Josh Abrams and fellow Tortoise member, drummer John Herndon. (Other musicians who have played with the group include: Jason Ajemian, Nori Tanaka, David Boykin, Matt Lux, Aram Shelton, Jonathan Crawford, Tim Daisy, Frank Rosaly, Nate Lepine, and Anton Hatwich.)
It's a chance for the guys to escape from the constrictions of performing previously written material and improvise. The chill atmosphere will make you want to kick back, grab a lychee martini from the bar, and stay a while.
See them tonight, and every Tuesday at 10:30pm. 1530 N. Milwaukee Ave. No cover.
