It’s the PAKT time with four extraordinary musicians: Percy Jones (Brand X, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, David Sylvian, Suzanne Vega), Alex Skolnick (Testament, Alex Skolnick Trio, Metal Allegiance, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Kenny Grohowski (John Zorn, Brand X, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT, Hipster Assassins), Tim Motzer (Bandit65, Jaki Liebezeit, David Sylvian, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, ORION TANGO).
PAKT recalls the fearless attitude and daring approach that originally defined progressive music: where the magic of the moment always triumphed over preconception. Templates be damned … this music blazes its own path! This is truly exquisite fare, serving as a reminder to aficionados of what initially drew them to this most creative, visionary of genres.
PAKT will play a small number of shows in July of 2021, and again in September and in December of this year, considering heavy touring schedules and other projects of all musicians involved. 2022 will bring many more shows and another album on MoonJune Records.
Double live album PAKT was recorded live in August of 2020 during the lockdown, at the ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn, NYC, on August 15, 2020. And it will be purchasable at the show.
