A group of familiar faces will debut a new band just two days into 2009. On January 2, the Disco Biscuits Jon Gutwillig (guitar), The Allys Mike Greenfield (drums), Brothers Past’s Tom McKee (keyboards) and Bodegas Steve Lyons (bass) will as the Players Club at West Chester, PAs The Note. The four musicians, who have crossed paths countless times over the years, promise ‘a night of improv music.’

Before then, McKee will perform with Brothers Past at the Note this evening, while Gutwillig will headline the Nokia Theatre with the Disco Biscuits. Greenfield will also take the stage with his new group Xylos at Philadelphias The North Star on January 23 (as part of a bill that happens to feature Entourage star Adrian Grenier and his band The Honey Brothers).
