Doek @ OT – March 12 Lean Left vs Cactus Truck

March 12 @ OT301.
The first time Cactus Truck played together was almost 4 years ago when they met up at Zaal 100 to “try playing as loud and fast as possible, just to see what happens.” That night, they went to hear Lean Left perform at Occii and realized they had a lot of work to do….

“Lean Left are a lethal combination of radical commitment, sonic intensity and breathtaking fluency from four musicians who, between them, have rarely strayed from the outermost borders of jazz and punk… The density, clarity and balance maintained throughout the two sets was a breathtaking reminder that this stormy, industrial territory is where many of the most pressing questions are asked of the structure and content of jazz today.” Geoff Winston, LondonJazz
