Vanishing Point 30 October 2012

Welcome to another VP. It's Tuesday night again.  This Saturday 3 November 2012 is a gig at the Land Of Promise Hotel in Adelaide dedicated to remembering the musical achievements of Renistair EJ (aka Ren). I acknowledge the passing of Ren and his absence in the artistic circles of Adelaide music. Of note is a project driven by Ren and Co called Gutter Jazz which consisted of a number of Adelaide musicians doing an improv set mostly around Ren's vocalisations.  The guys named here were also in other bands as well as those bands bracketed.  Ren (Bloodloss, Lubricated Goat), Pete Kenny (Slub), Michael Tohl (Twenty Second Sect), Wex Dabbler (Grong Grong), Chris Morley (Leather Messiah), AJ Morley (Leather Messiah), Mike Baraniec (Fiendish Cavendish) also appeared were Nathan Dale (Yog Sothoth) and Dorothy Pawlowski (Roadside Slasher).  Gutter Jazz did one live set but recorded four sessions between 2007 and 2008. Ren went on to form another similar project with Wex Dabbler and more magical Adelaide artists called Viva Vas Defrens.

To quote one who knows Adelaide, Bands and Experimental Music: Adelaide is Coopers Beer, Dope and Old Men.  That describes Gutter Jazz. Full Fucking Stop.  Land Of Promise Saturday 3 November 2012.
