Led by Dave Halabisky, [his Uprising] includes a rotating cast of local musicians that blend jazz, ass-shaking grooves, hip-hop, rock and electronic music.

Named after the south-east Asian "King of Fruits," [Durians] is a boundary-buster. The three-piece group plays original music in the styles of Drum n' Bass, Nu-Jazz, Dub-step, House, and Psychedelia. Their live vibe is high-energy, intense, and often humorous, involving the audience by handing out prizes such as strange Asian candies (often Durian-flavored), pickled eggs and other off-putting somewhat edible treats. The music itself is heavy, organic, anthemic and laden with improvisation. The musicians play a network of instrument-machines, controlled not only by MIDI instruments like keyboards and pads, but also by heavily modified acoustic instruments, such as trombone, trumpet, MIDI-fied bass guitar, recorder, MIDI-fied theremin and live drums.

I'll be there. Anyone else?

Aloha,
