The New Haven Improvisers Collective celebrates the 20th anniversary of the first NHIC performance at the recently opened Firehouse 12.

The Tricycle Trick opens the evening, offering compelling new music with Soundribbons electronic processed bass, guitar, and drums. It features Knox Chandler (Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Golden Palominos, Cyndi Lauper), Bob Gorry (Roundhouse Quartet, GoBruCcio, Truth Ensemble) and Peter Riccio (Sawtelles, GoBruCcio, Void Kittens).
Knox Chandler’s career has spanned over four decades, including long stints as a member of The Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Cyndi Lauper band, as well as extraordinary experiences in recording and performing live around the world on guitar, bass, and cello. Knox spent a decade residing in Berlin, Germany, while he explored sound-scaping. He developed a technique he calls “Soundribbons”, which he recorded and performed in its own right as well as applying it to different genres and mediums. He composed, recorded, toured, produced, and wrote string arrangements for Herbert Grönemeyer, Jesper Munk, Pure Reason Revolution, The Still, TAU, Miss Kenichi and the Sun, Mars William’s Albert Ayler Xmas, Rita Redshoes, Them There, The Night, etc.
Bob Gorry is a guitarist/composer/bandleader living in and working out of New Haven, CT where he curates the NHIC New Music series and leads the New Haven Improvisers Collective, a group he founded that is now celebrating 20 years.

He has performed and recorded with Joe Morris, Stephen Haynes, Butch Morris, Vance Provey, Allen Lowe, Greg Bendian, Albee Balgochian, Adam Matlock, Brett Bottomley, Michael Larocca, and many more.
Peter Riccio acquired his first set of drums at the age of eight and has been involved in a constant stream of diverse performing groups and configurations ever since (indie rock, punk, jazz, new music, etc). He studied jazz drums at Berklee College of Music along the way. He has played in punk, indie rock, and jazz groups. Peter also plays rhythm guitar, sings, and writes songs for the Sawtelles and plays drums with Lys Guillorn’s Void Kittens.
