Chris Forsyth - Peoples Motel Band (Live) '2020

Tracks list

	Recorded September 14, 2019 before a packed and enthusiastic hometown crowd at
Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia, Peoples Motel Band catches Chris Forsyth
with Garcia Peoples (plus ubiquitous drummer Ryan Jewell) re-imagining songs
from Forsyth’s last couple studio albums with improvisatory flair.

Forsyth and Garcia Peoples played a number of 2019 shows together, beginning
with a semi-legendary jam set at Nublu in NYC in March (see NYCTaper.com),
through a couple dates on Forsyth’s month-long weekly residency at Nublu
in September and concluding with a five-date tour of the Northeast in December.
The chemistry between the players is tangible.

As is often the case with Forsyth shows, the gloves come off quickly and the
players attack the material - much of it so well-manicured and cleanly produced
in the studio - like a bunch of racoons let loose in a Philadelphia pretzel
factory.

Recorded and mixed with clarity by Forsyth’s longtime studio
collaborator, engineer/producer Jeff Zeigler, the record puts the listener right
in the sweaty club, highlighted by an incredible side-long take of the
chooglin’ title track from 2017’s Dreaming in The Non-Dream LP
(note multiple climaxes eliciting wild shouts and ecstatic screams from the
assembled).

This is not the new Chris Forsyth album, exactly, but then again, it kinda is
because whenever he sits down to play, he makes it new.
