Grant CALVIN WESTON and LUCAS BRODE'S debut album Flying Kites, which will be released officially in
New York City during the 577 Forward Festival 2015
In the months leading up to this project, common colleagues and friends of GRANT CALVIN WESTON and LUCAS BRODE suggested that the two musicians should meet and collaborate, considering that Lucas is a major fan of Lounge Lizards, the renowned band that Calvin joined in 1990. Once Calvin heard some of Lucas’s guitar playing, he suggested that they make a recording together. Lucas immediately agreed to the idea. Some time later, Lucas received a massive folder of Calvin’s drumming, along with a few whacky synth noises. Lucas organized sound collages, then made guitar loops and recorded solos and other sounds that he felt would complement the energy of the project.
The final result is a powerful recording that features heavy, intricate and deep grooves, at times reminiscent of Marc Ribot on John Zorn’s Asmodeus: Book of Angels Volume 7 (another group that features G. Calvin Weston) or punk-influenced music, one of Lucas’s early inspirations, along with more introspective moments similar to Lounge Lizards.
GRANT CALVIN WESTON became interested in drums at the age of 6, when he (and his neighbors) discovered his talent for rhythm as he beat on every car on the block. He lived in North Philadelphia where he saw musicians like Stevie Wonder, The Jackson Five, and James Brown at the Uptown Theatre. Seeing his attention focused on the drummers, Calvin’s father bought him a small set. At age 17, Calvin joined Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time Band, which toured extensively in North America and Europe. After recording four albums with Prime Time, Calvin went on to play and record with guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer and joined John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards in 1990. He later recorded and toured with Billy Martin, Tricky, Eyvind Kang, Derek Bailey, and Marc Ribot, to name a few.
LUCAS BRODE, a native of New York’s Hudson Valley, is a guitarist and composer who draws from jazz harmony, experimental rock textures and African rhythms. In addition to studying jazz guitar and composition, he spent several years learning percussive concepts from traditional Ghanian drummer Yacub Addy. Lucas has toured extensively throughout the US. He mainly performs solo and with Post-Rock/Math-Rock hybrid group, Hannibal Montana.

As a vibrant and truly original presence on the New York City avant-garde music scene for decades, Daniel has brought together and inspired countless others with his lyrical playing, political leanings and his inclination to unite musicians and musical genres of every type. His playing, which can range from delicately melodic to unparalleled ferocity, is absolutely not to be missed.
We hope you will join us for three days of live music from some of the best of the downtown music scene!
