LISTEN

At least once every week for over 5 years Sapat has quietly watered their roots, rarely playing outside of their home: Louisville, Kentucky. The first phase involved a rotating cast of well over 70 players over a few years time. The second and current phase involves a set membership and a stronger focus on working with in limitations be they structure or be they whatever. Yet this balance of form and content is still found with in "in the moment" situations that work outside of a priori structures though intentionality is never sacrificed. All 8 members play numerous instruments. The sound varies drastically, be it Amon Duul II & Can heavy psychedelia or Sun Ra outer jass; just to name two of many different shades with in their scope. Members of the band also play in Valley of Ashes, Virgin Eye Blood Brothers, Son of Earth, Raw Thug, Arsenio and Pleasant Coloney. Members of the group have collaborated with everyone from Eugene Chadbourne and Ron Pate/Craig Nutt of the Rev. Fred Lane fame; to Roy Campbell and the SB. After 5 years of howning their sound and recording hundreds of hours of music, Sapat's debut full length will be released in early fall of 2006 on the legendary Siltbreeze inprint.
