Ryan Sawyer, C. Spencer Yeh, Nate Wooley + Colin Stetson at Union Pool

This month, Sawyer curated and performed in five Tuesdays' worth of mind-bending avant-rock lineups for his residency at Williamsburg's Union Pool -- a clever show poster listed the lineups on a likeness of his signature bearded guise. Last night's bill included Leverage Models (with a guest appearance by Light Asylum/former-!!! vocalist Shannon Funchess) and Soldiers of Fortune (featuring Kid Millions of Oneida and Yo La Tengo's bass player, James McNew). But the main attraction was an experimental noise supergroup of Sawyer, Burning Star Core violinist C. Spencer Yeh, trumpeter Nate Wooley, and Colin Stetson, a virtuoso bass saxophonist who has made a name for himself in the last few years as an instrumental soloist (SPIN named his set one of ATP's "top ten" last month at the Asbury Park fest. Stetson has also played with the Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, LCD Soundsystem, Feist, the National, and well -- the list goes on). Check out pics from the quartet's jaw-dropping performance above.
