After the much celebrated reuniting of the original folks who attended the Wang Dang Doodle in '99 for the Wang Dang Deux performance in August of 2005 what is now Loco Gnosis started to take shape. Jeff had founded it in Arizona as a repository of his own recordings, archival and developing in the Fall of 2004. It's beginnings tangibly circulating within the traveler's circuit swapping with other musicians and their own recordings back to 2000 coast to coast.
Deciding to make his stand in Detroit Jeff starting to putting together an event on January 14th 2006 called Township Revue that would define a presentation Loco Gnosis and it's participants would come to be known for with Blue Moon in June, Curare, May Days respectively featuring two stages and a minimum of twelve bands volleying sets to create a continuous stream of music. To date they have swelled to run entire weekends.
To commemorate the event he looked at who was ready to put some music out into the world. Goading long time collaborator Unkle Lance Sanders to put together a pick up band for his studio project Bored Housewive's and even record some new tunes to round out his pre-millenium Le Bebes Massuades.
Mike Ross of Red China was one of the featured Housewives switching out with Sanders on drums and playing guitar with a bow. Mike had sent Jeff many EP's and live recordings while he was still in Arizona of China's doings and urged Ross to put a collection together of their beginnings and they did with a cohesive yet broad span of personal and approach with Imprecision..Impregnio..Impossumal!
Lo-Fi Bri had visited Jeff a couple times in Arizona before he moved back up and they always recorded, usually all day, until they went out for dinner and catch what ever sounds they could at the Rhythm Room just down the road but always came home and set some idea up fresh for the next day. Lo-Fi Bri had been working up Carjack for most of ten years by this time with portions of it extending outside the range of breakbeats and Greg Ginn guitars into subtle instrumentals under the guise of Boombox.
Jeff gathered songs from all these instances for Township Revue Vol. One: Close Enough For Commerce. Even rounding it out with some of his own compositions though he didn't perform at it. His mind was on bringing to Detroit some of the free-wheeling mash up shows he had experienced at art houses during his five years in Phoenix. The album cover is a joke on a longer standing joke if you lived in the area of the "Future Site of Commerce Area Museum/Cultural Center" that has been blown apart by storms and has since just been taken down.
There has been some whisper of a Vol. Two.
