"Good to talk to you man, a pleasure as always," began the very talented Dave Keyes as he enthusiastically discussed his upcoming area shows on April 17 at The Twisted Tail in Philadelphia and April 19 at The Lizzie Rose Music Room in Tuckerton, NJ. "We are looking forward to it, it's always a fun place to play and we always have a good time down there in Tuckerton. I'll have Chris Bergson on guitar, a wonderful singer named Ellis Hooks, John Conte is playing bass and Diego Voglino on drums. So, we have five of us and Chris, myself and Ellis split the vocal duties, we all have our own material that we'll be doing; some original stuff, Ellis sings some Sam Cooke stuff, he's kind of an older soul R&B kinda' guy so we mix it up and he's been doing some gigs with chris for quite a while. Chris's stuff is a little jazzier, mine is a little more Boogie Woogie oriented so we have a good time up there."

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
