Estimated read time 9 min read

“When in doubt…go completely out.” Legendary musician and Zen master Col. Bruce Hampton Ret. uttered these words in Mike Gordon’s seminal feature film, Outside Out.

The atmosphere had a collective excitement about it you only find at Friday night shows and the band delivered raging and precisely played show.
