Sohrab performing with KING MISSILE and DAWOUD, March 2010 !

1.  This Thursday Sohrab is playing with the legend indie rock band King Missile for the second time at Le Poisson Rouge. He is playing in two of their songs only on soprano sax. So this would be a good reason to check him out because he has been known being  just  a tenor sax player in NY.

Time: 7 pm
Venue: Le Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street & Thompson, NY, 212-505-3474)
Ticket: $15
Genre: nu folk, anti-folk?, avantgarde?

Opening act: Mixel Pixel

Me playing in Dawoud’s band last year in December at UNIVERSITY OF THE STREETS (East Village)

This is the second time I will be playing with Dawoud on (elecrtic) sitar and also with Ravish. I am sure the music will be something special. It is really a rare combination and instrumentation you will experience: sitar vs. sax vs. laptop. Something unexpected is going to happen. The right music for people who are bored of mainstream and commercial music. You will like or dislike it.

Here is a video of Dawoud playing the sitar
