Maria Chávez, Shahzad Ismaily (Arooj Aftab, Ceramic Dog), and Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) came together as a trio for the first time for a show in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in May 2025. That debut performance received a glowing review in The Wire, where writer Vanessa Ague heralded it as “a reminder of [...] the sheer joy of seeing what surprises we can find in sound”.
Each of the players’ inimitable approach to their instruments has earned them vivid, varied and longstanding careers. Now, in this new formation, a fresh breath arrives: combining abstract turntablism, outré drumming and uncanny instrumentation, their sonic searching is as playful as it is profound.
