“Live 2008, captured at a summer session at CalArts, is fraught with grooves and growling riffs, punctuated by hoots and hollers thereat. It’s a primal, boisterous experience that pledges allegiance with cultures the world over, citing the ancient Greeks and British Iceni people as influences as much as perhaps Coltrane and McLaughlin, finding equanimity among rock gods and gods made of actual rock.”
- David Cotner, Ventura County Reporter
