Crevice Live at Flight Gallery 2/14

Paisley Babylon’s Joe Wallace reunites with Crevice for this performance at Flight Gallery @ 1906 S. Flores San Antonio, Texas on Valentine’s Day. This is a special performance by one of the classic Crevice lineups. Featuring James Cobb, Bryan Stanchak, James Sidlo, Jeff DeCuir and Paisley Babylon’s Joe Wallace, this version of Crevice goes back to the band’s roots. Crevice was known for using a combination of mutated jazz sounds combined with theremin, Moogs and other analog synths to create atmospheres ranging from deceptively calm to violently psychedelic.

Before their shocking live debut in 1996, Crevice were obsessively toiling away in the studio, abusing equipment to its limit in search of the perfect headphone trip.

One hundred and fifteen instruments were used on their debut CD–everything from giant Moog-monster insect soundtracks to super-chill acoustic panoramas. Two of the group’s three members were working on outside soundtrack projects at the time, so it’s no surprise that Crevice sounds more influenced by Apocalypse Now, The Shining, 2001, or Forbidden Planet than by any particular rock band.
