New Tribal Tech

Hmmmmm...& yet he's touring with Berlin & Chambers.

Personally, I would like a return to the "old-school" vibe of Tribal Tech...when they were as much about 'tribal' as they were about 'tech' (blend of electric instruments with sax & mallets/percussion).
 
I asked Gary personally, and he said "no way, never". That was awhile ago though. I'd be really suprised if he was part of it.

Was there some sort of tension between him and Henderson that caused the breakup or something? He still plays with Covington, so they obviously get along.

dude lives in spain with his wife. that makes the logistics of tribal tech pretty tough:D i think i remember gary saying somewhere they werent really interested in doing an album where they were sending parts back and forth to each other and recording their parts at home.
 
Henderson is kind of picky. I'd bet that it all hinges on him. I asked Gary once why there are no live recordings of Tribal Tech and he told me "Ask Henderson."

He said that he is way too critical of his playing and that finding live tracks good enough to release would be next to impossible.

I sat and watched them that night and the entire performance was worthy of a live disc.

I'd also like to hear Tribal Tech go back to the Illicit or earlier days of more compositions rather than 'live jams'.
 
Ok so heres whats new.

Hey Akshat,
Henderson is finishing up a tour this month and since we kind of distribute the responsibility for tunes amongst ourselves we kind of all need to be working individually but at the same time. I expect the end of this month and June to be pretty productive for me Kinsey and Henderson so a fall release looks like the best estimate.

...well, that's just great.

Meanwhile, for a Fusion-jones...
The new Flecktones album with Howard Levy back in the band & the new Yellowjackets album with William Kennedy back in the band...are killin'!
