The first time I saw them was in '95 at a small club in Cincy called Ripley's. Just off the dancefloor to the side of the stage was an elevated little room where the pinball machine was. I stood at the edge of it, about 5 ft from John Medeski and watched him bounce from one keyboard to another and mouth all of the sounds he was making. I was blown away. I have seen them several times since in some amazing venues (Filmore, Ryman, the Longhouse at Evergreen State College, Orange Peel). I love the way they ease from ass shaking soul bop to free jazz and back. They tend to go out there far enough each show to lose most everyone in attendance, but I've found that if you can follow them out and back, the payoff is huge when they bring it back to the groove. Favorite album - Tonic I just gave a listen to the new song. If it is indicative of the sound of this Radiolarian, I can't wait to hear more. I love MMW, especially live.
