Gunnelpumpers this weekend in Chicago
The double bass, electric bass, electric upright,and percussion band Gunnelpumpers is playing this weekend in Chicago. I have seen this great band several times in the past. Michael Hovnanian (Chicago Symphony bassist) and Doug Johnson (whom I play a lot of gigs with) are both in this group, as are many other very talented individuals.
Here’s the info from Doug:
Saturday, November 4 – 8:00 p.m. – Athenaeum Theatre – 2936 N. Southport
We’ll be the house band for Dance Chicago’s Opening Gala performances. We
play an overture and seques between all the dances while the dancers change,
catch their breath, change the lights, etc. Visit

Other news: A recent set performed by Matthew Golombisky and myself can be
heard at http://www.visualnoiz.com/multimedia/MP3/, although last time I
checked the link isn’t working.
Other bootleg recordings can be heard at

Finally, we are planning to record our first “official” CD in early
December, so we may have a real CD sometime after the new year.
