Live Show Alert: Ozric Tentacles – B.B. King’s in NYC, June 14th

June 9th, 2015 by David Weiss

Did you ever want to meet a benevolent clutch of creatures from outer space? This Sunday is your chance.

The Ozric Tentacles are coming, in fine 2015 form.

Even better than their extra-terrestrial status is the fact that these beings are especially gifted at music. They land in the form of a band called the Ozric Tentacles.

To experience the Ozrics in their element, arrive at B.B. King Blues Club in NYC this Sunday, June 14. And be prepared for an out of this world experience. Makers of space rock of the trippiest order, the Ozric Tentacles center around its founding member, who’s been there since they formed in 1983: Ed Wynne.

Throughout 29 studio and live albums, plus countless tours, Wynne has steadily built a reputation as one of the world’s great rock guitarists. To those in the know, Wynne represents the very upper echelon of six-stringers – his playing is a grand convergence of creativity, skill, speed, technique, and adventure.

Hearing him is amazing, but seeing Wynne shred live has a magical thrill all its own. Experiencing guitar mastery like this in person is unforgettable for anyone who considers themselves an aficionado of the instrument.

“Technicians of the Sacred” brings Ozrics fans 11 new tracks for 2015.

Even better is how Wynne gives it all away. He feeds deliciously off of his band members, always a highly talented crew that generates intense jams for sharing generously with everyone in attendance.

This NYC show will be extra special, with the Ozrics capping off a long international tour in support of their brand new album, Technicians of the Sacred. Freshly recorded by these UK-expatriates in their adopted homeland of Colorado, Technicians was recorded in a “studio in the sky.” You can hear the altitude – Technicians is filled with the groovy gears, pulsing synths, and soaring guitar explorations that the band is beloved for.
