Ergo, Ways and Daniel Fandino to perform at Monkey Town on April 22, 2007, 7:30 p.m.
WHAT:
Ergo is the collective sound of keyboardist Carl Maguire, Drummer Shawn Baltazor, lead by trombonist/laptopist Brett Sroka. Their music is one of stark melodic beauty, enveloping electro-acoustic texture and empathic imagination.
Daniel Fandino will play a short segue set of solo guitar improvisations full of lush noise and thick reverb.
Ways is a heavy psychedelic band that traverses the history of rock music from doo-wop to drone metal.

The PRESS on Ergo:
“...part of a generation for which Autechre and Sigur Ros are as pressing concerns as Armstrong and Sun Ra. That's certainly evident in the timbral sophistication, spacey contours and slinky grooves of the band's self-released debut CD, “Quality Anatomechanical Music since 2005".
TIME OUT NEW YORK
“... atmospheric collective, which takes full advantage of electronic programming and cross-genre appropriation."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
“An Ellington fiend who likes to get his computerized space-dub on, the trombonist has lots of sound sculpture in him. His rather dramatic art music is both texturally rich and compositionally engaging."
THE VILLAGE VOICE
“Brett Sroka has found a way to turn the trombone into the coolest instrument since the bass clarinet. He plays in a band called Ergo, which blends blip-hop electronica with jazz. This trio consists of drums, keyboards, and Sroka's unruly trombone."
THE BOSTON GLOBE
“. . . explores the intersections of electronic music, Jazz improvisation, and smart Rock bands like Radiohead or Sigur Ros. . . Sroka has huge ears and catholic tastes, using these to good effect on this moody and memorable recording."
CADENCE MAGAZINE
“Solid musicianship and a vision are what ERGO is all about, and they absolutely are on to something very special."
