We welcome The Neurohumors for a *trip* back to our stage on Wednesday, March 29th.

The Neurohumors are a constantly re-arranged combination of San Francisco-based musicians that specialize in largely improvisational rock, jazz, progressive and ambient styles. Employing open-ended 'launch pads', the band is known for journeying through a variety of moods and genres within a single, contiguous piece of music. Jams may exceed 25 minutes, during the course of which trance-like modes and mellow psychedelia give forth to polyrhythmic climaxes, danceable grooves and/or sophisticated jazz punctuations. New or accidental audience members find themselves appreciating the ride despite what they might usually look for in music; veteran Neurohumors fans know that the ever-changing line-up means something new every time.



This time we will hang with: Ryan on keyboards, Brian on bass, David Jayne on drums & synth, and Lance Case, a guitarist who is quite easy on the ears...



Showtime 7pm. As always we welcome all ages, and there is no cover!

Peace!

I suppose I'll try just a little bite...
