  July 22 Sick Gazelle (with steve) Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle - FREE
Sick Gazelle record release party - FREE event in Chicago at the Empty Bottle SICK GAZELLE originally operated as a duo with Block on guitar and Lamont on saxophone and vocals. The pair functioned on a purely improvised basis. Shelley accidentally found himself playing drums with SICK GAZELLE when he was in town laying some parts down at the infamous Semaphore Recording Studios, where Block was an engineer and manager. An hour-long improv session ensued, followed by lunch and coffee, and then another hour-long session, this one with a caveat of doing something softer. The result was Odum, the band’s debut LP. Boasting four tracks of improvised, haunting, experimental jazz, Odum was released in May via War Crime Recordings.
