SUMMARY:Mothguts 20th Anniversary Show with We Used to Cut the Grass and Mono Means One at Wonder Bar
DESCRIPTION:Mothguts 20th Anniversary Show \nWe Used to Cut the Grass \nMono Means One \nMOTHGUTS \nMothguts is a New Jersey–based instrumental quartet known for smashing together the worlds of death metal\, free jazz\, grunge\, grindcore\, noise\, and sludge into a relentless sonic assault. Founded in 2005\, the band has carved out a reputation for fearless experimentation\, chaotic energy\, and a sound that refuses to be contained by genre. \nThe lineup features Mike Noordzy on bass\, Ben Ross on drums\, Anthony Ware on alto saxophone\, and Chris Welcome on guitar. Together\, they’ve cultivated a brutal yet boundary-defying aesthetic\, marked by blistering improvisation and crushing heaviness. \nNow celebrating their 20th anniversary\, Mothguts remains a singular force in the underground\, revered for their uncompromising creativity and blistering live shows. Two decades in\, the band continues to blur boundaries and challenge listeners with music that is as punishing as it is visionary. \nWE USED TO CUT THE GRASS \nWe Used to Cut the Grass is a shapeshifting experimental ensemble led by composer/bassist Cody McCorry\, most frequently appearing as a 10-piece band known for heavy brass and two tightly synchronized drum kits. Heavily inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa\, John Zorn and Sun Ra\, the band has roots in the blurred zone between progressive rock and jazz fusion\, but has since stretched further into post-rock and experimental endeavors\, reaching from orchestral/chamber works to absurdist sound collage. The group’s sophomore album\, “We Used to Cut the Grass #2\,” is the follow up to their similarly self-titled album released in 2022. It has been described by math rock periodical Fecking Bahamas as “a much needed joyride.” On the album and its composer\, Prog Critique has this to say: “I don’t know if he’s a genius or a brilliant madman… [the album] surprises\, it disorients\, as much as it captivates… have we ever seen a band cover such a rich palette?” \nMONO MEANS ONE \nMono Means One is a psychedelic prog trio and the brainchild of bassist and composer John Ferrara\, best known as the bass player and co-founder of the acclaimed world fusion band “Consider the Source.” Mono Means One’s sound contains melancholic melodies\, rich sonic textures with Drum ‘N’ Bass grooves and Mathrock sensibilities. Half composed and half improvised\, the music is often dark\, with moments of calm serenity and other times heavy\, oscillating between chill grooves to almost unbearable intensity. Originally composed entirely on the bass guitar\, John paired up with Rob Madore (Drums) and Isaac Young (Keys) to add intensely nuanced beats with futuristic colorful sonic textures. All three members produce a sound that is powerful and unique all to their own. \nFerrara has been dubbed the “Unsung Genius” of bass tapping by bass sensation Charles Berthoud\, is a teacher at Scotts Bass Lessons\, and has been featured in Bass Magazine\, NoTreble\, Bass Musician magazine among many other publications.
