The Comet Is Coming in Chicago 6/14/19

London based The Comet Is Coming is King Shabaka Hutchings on sax, Danalogue on keys and Betamax on drums. Their manifesto:

The Comet is Coming to destroy illusions. It will manifest new realities, perceptions, levels of awareness and abilities to coexist. It is a musical expression forged in the deep mystery. It is the overcoming of fear, the embracing of chaos, the peripheral sight that we might summon the fire.

Through the transcendent experience of music we reconnect with the energy of the Lifeforce in hope of manifesting higher realities in new constructs. Because the end is only really the beginning.
