Beep Trio (CD release show)
Beep is a collective made up of bassist Nate Brenner, keyboardist
Michael Coleman, and drummer Sam Ospovat. All three are stalwarts of the Bay Area scene and have honed their skills in diverse projects spanning experimental pop, free improv, and the avant-garde fringe. The trio has evolved into the Bay Area’s most eclectically beautiful purveyor of futuristic music. The chemistry in the group is born of friendship and a shared desire to open up new pathways for musical enjoyment. Their third album, "City of the Future" (Third Cultured Records 2011) received wide critical acclaim including a spot in the top ten best experimental albums of 2011 from Quebec radio station CHYZ 94.3 FM. The trio's latest album "Too Physical" explores the intersection of free improvisation and stripped-down psychedelic R&B.

"The band members have tapped into the experimental sides of their brains, and the result is a sound that's as unsettling as it is strangely comforting, mixing acoustic and electronic elements." -SF weekly
