Band, *2005
Concord Ballet Orchestra Players originally convened to perform a one-time live tribute to the 1970s “krautrock” group Faust — but then enjoyed playing together so much that they decided to carry on together with original trout-stream-of-consciousness performances. Hailing from Somerville, Massachusetts, the group has evolved into an improvising experimental rock band. The members met while playing in other bands who shared the same rehearsal space — a space that was once occupied by a “Concord School of Ballet”. A cracked, hand-painted sign for the school still hangs on the wall there.
