Phloyd Starpoli, Matt Krefting @ AVA Gallery, Lebanon, NH
Phloyd Starpoli is a master musician. His control of his instrument (trombone) and his poise in front of an audience are of the kind everyone else is striving for. Tonight Phloyd dragged incredible sounds out of his horn. Bellowing and squakking, buzzing and twittering, he marched around the gallery and amongst the audience, forcing even the lazy into some kind of recognition.
Wrestling guitar on this outing, Matt stunned and shunned the crowd with layers of raunch-fuzz and a cherry on top. True translations of the mind and emotion came leaping and crawling from his beleagered amp, only pausing for a second to catch their bearings before tearing through the gallery walls and running wild in the streets. Too bad you missed this one.
