– THE SHACK PROJECT — SHACK PARTIES I-VII ’96 –
Listen to these gigs. Listen to all of these gigs — it’s the best advice I can give you. These Shack Parties, where the band played for 7 Mondays in a row at the Knitting Factory in NYC, encompass such a wide range of the band’s talents and musical interests that a summation would simply do the music an injustice. Whether you dig a certain track or guest through this run, you have to admit that each guest brings something unique to the mix which in turn causes the band to react and shift, making the music they all create something adventuresome and real for that moment only. There are also plenty of moments where it’s just the trio and you’ll love it. As they explore both groove and open space with/out guests, it is clear this is a band out to make inspired music.
Oren Bloedow’s speech during Set II of the last Shack Party puts it best … so take a listen and Shack-out with these near 20 year-old musical explorations …
enjoy the grooves,
dug

LISTEN/DOWNLOAD ANOTHER SHOW!
Just came across this ticket stub… https://i.imgur.com/KUFXPXS.jpg – what an epic night… and only $10!
Nice! Would love to have been there … didn’t see them live until ’98 … cool stub! If it’s cool with you, I’m gonna have Tom add it to the MMW History page entry for this show:
http://twilightsw.com/mmw/1996.html#10/7/1996
… he stores stubs and posters and stuff over there, as an archive related to the shows.
And I’m gonna add it to the show page on this site too!

Holy cow! I was as most of these shows, and it wasn’t until listening to some Marc Ribot this morning did I remember them and then for some reason it all came back like a ton of bricks! The Vernon Reid night was amazing and I’m still listening to Ribot thanks to that show. What an amazing memory! Thank you for making this site!
