Cactus Truck/Hunted Creatures/Machine Listener

Locally based Hinter Records regularly brings avant garde jazz acts to town and has booked the Amsterdam-based group Cactus Truck to play the basement of Guide to Kulchur, the book store/hipster hangout in Ohio City. Songs such as “Brand New for China!” are characterized by abrupt time signature changes and wonky saxophone snarls. The improvisational trio has accurately been described as “fire-breathing.” (Niesel)
