Biff U. Blumfumgagnge (Gomers, Reptile Palace Orchestra, Jambeau, Yammer, Headpump, etc.) presents "An Evening of BIFFSCAPES:" music made with an electric mandolin, violin, a few synths and some midi trickery... Think Keller Williams on Uranus, or maybe a Fripp/Eno soundscape crossed with a one-man-bourbon street band. This is a rare and unique one-time show with interactive elements. A question / answer / demonstration of how it all works at the end of the concert is also promised.

There's a special guest online as well.

It's Blumfumgagnge's first solo show in Madison about 10 years. He recently returned from Japan & Mexico with the Adrian Belew Power Trio, and will be touring w. Robert Fripp & The League of Crafty Guitarists again at the end of October through mid-November (playing the Majestic in Madison on Nov 10).
