Body Kite Halloween show at Dogwood in Beacon
We are very excited about this new improvised instrumental project, Body Kite, a jam band for people who don’t like jam bands. We’re playing a show October 29 in Beacon at Dogwood Bar and we will be dressed like wizards. Gerald Menke - guitar, Pierre de Gaillande - bass, trumpet and taishogoto, Daniel Basiletti - Korg Wrangler and trumpet, and Chris Stromquist will be joining us on drums. We will be wearing wizard costumes, so let your freak flag fly.
Here's a Body Kite video shot by in California Hill Studio and edited with some weird-ass images using text to image AI with the keywords “wizard, psychedelic, synthesizer, band, guitar, and Druids.” You're welcome.
Explaining Socialism: All music, lyrics, and instruments by Pierre de Gaillande. 
It's been a long year... Hope you all are hanging in there.
