RON ANDERSON (PAK, THE MOLECULES) MAKES A RARE WEST COAST APPEARANCE

Ron Anderson (PAK, The Molecules) makes a rare West Coast appearance for an evening of fierce and provocative improvisation with Molecules bandmate, drummer Thomas Scandura, and bassist Jason Hoopes (Fred Frith Trio, Jack O' The Clock).

Surplus 1980 opens the show with their signature blend of angular rhythms and melodic fury.

Ron Anderson is a guitarist, composer and improviser who plays traditional instruments like electric guitar but also anything that can make a sound, including a recording studio. He appears on over 70 releases and he has performed in over 20 different countries with multiple tours of North America, Europe and Japan.

"Ron Anderson is among the lifers forming the vital backbone of the NYC new-music scene" - Time Out New York

“Anderson’s music exists in a state of insanely high tension almost from the beginning to the end but it’s definitely rock, played brutal, fast and frenzied as possible.” - The Wire
