Join BRIC TV for a live in-studio performance and interview withRebellum.
Founded by Village Voice icon Greg “Ionman” Tate and co-led with monster groove bassist Jared Michael Nickerson since 1999, Burnt Sugar Arkestra is a territory band, a neo-tribal thang, a community hang, a society music guild aspiring to the condition of all that is molten, glacial, racial, spacial, oceanic, mythic, antiphonal, and telepathic. Rolling Stone calls them “a multiracial jam army that freestyles with cool telekinesis between the lustrous menace of Miles Davis’ On The Corner, the slash-and-om of 1970s King Crimson, and Jimi Hendrix’ moonwalk across side three of Electric Ladyland.” Gripping the sum of Burnt Sugar’s new avant garde splinter cell, REBELLUM, demands one apprehend these factions: warped soul harmonies, freedom-swing horn play, maggot-brained guitar implosions and arkestral loopadelics in the dark.
Describing Rebellum Greg says, “The spirits of Sun Ra, Ron Hardy, Eddie Hazel, Gary Numan, and The Emotions are all welcome here.”
