Yamn w/Pocket
Doors open 9:00pm | $6 cover | 21 and over

Tonight they are joined by Pocket. They'll be playing a combination of vintage and contemporary funk/jazz covers and an ever expanding library of original material.

Wayne Horvitz' Sweeter Than The Day w/Kiki Band
Doors open 9:00pm | $10 cover | 21 and over
Formed in 1999, Sweeter Than the Day began simply as the acoustic incarnation of Zony Mash. The band played weekly shows at Seattle’s Baltic Room, and quickly became Wayne Horvitz’s first piano based ensemble in over 10 years. Their original compositions are beautiful, angular and inventive. Wayne has played or recorded with the likes Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Julian Priester and is the 2002 recipient of the Rockefeller grant.
Kiki Band’s innate eclecticism makes them hard to categorize as they dip their toes in jazz,funk, soul, blues, free jazz, klezmer, African and Eastern music, psychedelic rock and more! They are a quartet comprised of 4 musicians/composers (3 from Japan) led by Kazutoki Umezu, who has been at the forefront of the Tokyo, New York and and European progressive jazz scenes over the last forty years. This is an excellent chance to see some mind-blowing world class musical exploration in the friendly confines of the goodfoot! Get a taste of KiKi Band [HERE]

Saturday, July 9th
The Dead Kenny G's
Doors open 9:00pm | $10 cover | 21 and over
If the moniker for the combustible punk jazz trio The Dead Kenny Gs doesn’t say it all upon initial glance, a first listen to their new album Operation Long Leash quickly makes their intentions clear. Saxophonist Skerik, bassist Brad Houser and drummer/percussionist Mike Dillon (3/4 of the legendary Critters Buggin’) are committed to musical subversion of the highest order. Exploring a muse obsession of musical styles and sonic colors, The Dead Kenny Gs have both the courage and the chops to realize their wildest aural fantasies. One moment they draw inspiration from punk legends The Minutemen, the next finds them embracing the spirit of jazz giant Rahsaan Roland Kirk and yet another finds the influence of indie rock progenitors Deerhoof; all the while sounding purely DKGs. To further that extent, it’s not just music informing the trio’s voice, but a keen understanding of political conspiracy in American history. The album’s title, Operation Long Leash, comes from the clandestine CIA operation in the late ‘40s to fund Abstract Expressionism as a means for Western culture to undermine the rigid, confined and conformist ideals of the Soviet Union during the early years of the Cold War.
