At their concert at the Bird's Eye in Basel last night, Weird Beard blended styles into wide-ranging psychedelia: Luzius Schuler contributed electric keyboard textures and jazz-piano solos; drummer Rico Baumanm played rock grooves enriched with inventive jazz fills; Dave Gisler shimmered through electric-guitar sounds from choppy staccato to long, fast, fluid runs; and Florian Egli laid down steadily pulsing lines on electric bass guitar for the others to paint pictures around. There were only a dozen or so people in the audience, and all my Basel-area friends interested in psychedelic improvisations should go check them out tonight at 8:30 pm for the second of their two Bird's Eye shows this week.
