Snafu Test Coming to You

Like some great improvised music?  A good friend of BandWorks, Harrison Murphy (Hairy Music Presents), brings to you each month a completely improvised concert: Snafu Test. Each performance features a diverse conglomerate of musicians, many of them local to the bay area, who play in some of the best new upcoming bands and acts.  Each month presents a new group of musicians with new sounds, new acts, and great music. The last few Snafus have included the Shovelman, fiddle sensation Graham Patzner from Whiskerman, Mateo Lugo of 7orangeABC and Moontit, Owen Adair Kelly of Red Steppes, Paul Greene of Matthau, and more!

Come early, stay late, the second Thursday of each month at the Starry Plough.  The next upcoming show is July 12, 2012 beginning at 9pm.  You don’t want to miss this!
