The reactivated King Crimson features founder and guitarist Robert Fripp, bassist (and Ulster County resident!) Tony Levin, saxophonist/flutist Mel Collins, guitarist Jakko Jaksyzk, and, get this, not one but three drummers: mainstay Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), and Bill Rieflin (R.E.M., Swans). A seven-piece band!
The tour that breaks out of the Egg this month marks the American debut of this version of the band. Treat your ears to this teaser from a recent rehearsal:
King Crimson will perform at the Egg in Albany on September 9 and 10 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $36.75 and $43.75. For more information, call (518) 473-1845 or visit http://www.theegg.org/.
