MONDAY LOWDOWN: 'Magic Pipe' Action in Arcata Tonight

MONDAY LOWDOWN QUIZ: Who is your all-time favorite “magic pipe” player? I’ll give you a sec to mull that over ... Uh huh. You're right. "A what?" is the honest answer.  

Of course, maybe you are actually familiar with That 1 Guy, who invented his own special instrument to assist him in his one man band pursuits. So what is a magic pipe? Glad you asked! That 1 Guy’s signature instrument consists of a pair of connected steel pipes with an orchestral bass string attached with a few sample trigger points (see the video below for more from its creator). With his one-of-kind instrument in hand, That 1 Guy barrels down the screwball song path mapped out over the years by Frank Zappa, Les Claypool, Captain Beefhart and others. It seems fair for us to call his music “weird” (as long as that’s not a negative to you).

See That 1 Guy go his own way Monday night at HumBrews, or something else in the Lowdown below. --AG
