KING CRIMSON Members' THE CRIMSON PROJEKCT Schedule NYC Headline Date
June 6, 2012, 12 years ago
KING CRIMSON members Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto will be bringing THE CRIMSON PROJEKCT to the Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club (NYC) on July 17th - the only headlining date during their summer tour with DREAM THEATER. Combining forces, the Crimson Projekct will feature full sets by ADRIAN BELEW POWER TRIO and STICK MEN, and an extended encore, where Adrian, Tony and Pat will perform some of their favorite pieces work from King Crimson.
Located within the South Street Seaport, Beekman has an open-air tent for more than 800 people and a 200-ton sand beach for hundreds more, all with a backdrop of the East River, the Brooklyn Skyline, and the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg bridges.
“It's a rare treat, both for us in the band, and for the audience, for three King Crimson members to be together onstage,” says Levin. “And the supporting cast are excellent players in their own right.”The show will kick off with sets by Stick Men, featuring Mastelotto on electronic and acoustic percussion, Markus Reuter on his self-designed Touch Guitar, and Levin on Chapman Stick; and the Adrian Belew Power Trio with Belew on guitar and vocals, bassist Julie Slick, and NYC drummer Tobias Ralph.
“King Crimson is an elite club,” adds Belew. “There have only been seven members in the last 30 years. Having Tony, Pat and myself onstage, three legitimate Crimson players, will make this as close as currently possible to the actual thing.” ??To make this concert even more colossal, the trios will combine to close out the show. “Then the others will come out to join us as a double trio, fairly well covering what Crimson had in the 90s lineup,” adds Levin. “It should be a big challenge, wild music, and great fun.” Toting the loaded description “Sci-Fi Middle Eastern Funk”, local favorites CONSIDER THE SOURCE will open the show.
