Barr/Shea/Dahl vs. Seabrook/Walter/Lipson + Vaz + Drose + Murderedman + Hathenter

A take-no-prisoners free-improv duel—featuring the guitar-bass-drums trios of Mick Barr, Tim Dahl and Kevin Shea, and Brandon Seabrook, Evan Lipson and Weasel Walter—tops this doozy of an avant-underground summit, which also features menacing Columbus, OH, crew Drose; pile-driving noise-rockers from Cleveland (Murderedman) and Brooklyn (Vaz); and Hathenter, the duo of Barr and his Krallice crony Colin Marston.
