Camel trains and mustang horses. The timeless horizon of the endless Sahara and the wild frontier of the Old West - and when the day is done, guitars around the campfire, singing songs of loss and longing and ‘home on the range’. Several thousand miles of ocean may divide the desert blues of Tinariwen and the authentic country music of rural America but the links are as palpable as they are romantic. **About Basic** BASIC is a new trio comprised of Philadelphia’s Chris Forsyth (guitar), Nick Millevoi (baritone guitar & drum machine), and Mikel Patrick Avery (percussion & electronics). BASIC was initially inspired by the Robert Quine/Fred Maher record from which they cribbed their name as well as Ikue Mori’s “Painted Desert” and has developed a sound evocative of an imaginary electronic desert blues soundtrack. The group formed in the summer of 2022. Their debut studio album “This is BASIC” will be released in fall 2024 on No Quarter. Underground Arts Presents This is a 21+ event.
