Jonathan Kane (February, Swans, La Monte Young) and
Dave Soldier (Soldier String Quartet, John Cale, Thai
Elephant Orchestra) perform Uprooted Americana.
With Soldier on violin and Kane on drums and guitar, they dismantle
the Blues, the Great American Songbook and R&B dance hits.
"Any self-respecting fan of downtown music could tell you that a
project involving drummer Jonathan Kane and multi-instrumentalist
David Soldier is bound to be both intensely eclectic and a whole lot
of fun."
Time Out New York
"Somewhere between Sonic Youth and Steve Reich is the drummer
Jonathan Kane - interested in the crossroads of new music iconoclasm
and experimental rock. Virtuosic."
New York Times
"One thing about having an approach as idiosyncratic as Dave
Soldier's is that once listeners know your work at all, they realize
that coming to new works with any expectations about style, form or
language is fruitless."
New York Times
