Formed in the late 1970s while working as Robben Ford’s backing band, they issued their first album in 1980 and have continued to refine their blend of electronic textures and acoustic interplay.

Neumos in Seattle hosts an evening centered on Geordie Greep, the black midi vocalist and guitarist, highlighting his solo debut The New Sound. Made with complete creative freedom, the album draws on contributions from more than thirty session musicians working across two continents, with several tracks recorded in Brazil with local players assembled at short notice and captured in a day or two. The music nods to figures like Frank Zappa, Frank Sinatra, and Scott Walker while maintaining its own voice. The instrumental title track leans into jazz funk with bright brass, wah wah guitar textures, punchy bass, choral flourishes, and interlocking rhythms that build a cinematic momentum, and the songs move between hushed passages and sudden bursts, often arriving and departing with impact. The record unfolds as a set of vignette-like scenes, with Greep guiding tales about desperation and the slide from confidence into self-deception. Street life frames many of these moments, placing listeners in cafes, bars, rented rooms, cabarets, and curious museums. Images range from the outlandish to the everyday, including cannibalism, being boiled alive, and a woman giving birth to a goat, while characters take on mischievous assignments, dabble in military cosplay, or celebrate perceived social victories, blurring satire and sermon. The single Holy Holy imagines a nightclub encounter set to 2000s-era indie guitar lines and a bold Latin big band arrangement that features three pianos. Greep has signaled a continued path of change by working with different session groups in different locations to keep results fresh and unrepeatable. All ages are welcome. Bar access is limited to guests 21 and over with valid ID. Doors open at the time shown on the ticket, and the performance typically begins about an hour after that, with schedules subject to change without notice. All tickets are nonrefundable except in the event of cancellation. Supporting acts may change. Orders that exceed the posted ticket limit may be canceled without notice.
