Stick Men: Tentacles

Read "Tentacles" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


In the early 1960s, before every teenage rock band wanted to be the Beatles, many of them (especially in Southern California) wanted to be the Chantays (1963's “Pipeline"), The Surfaris' ("Wipeout" and “Point Panic," both from 1963) or Dick Dale and the Deltones ("Miserlou," 1962). Those days were the short-lived peak of surf rock, and it was big. All of those mentioned tunes hit the pop record charts, something that became rare for instrumental music thereafter. For some, these succinct, ...

Stick Men featuring Mel Collins: Roppongi

Read "Roppongi" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Stick Men is a long standing offshoot group from the iconic progressive rock band King Crimson. Founded in 2007 by drummer Pat Mastelotto and Chapman Stick players Tony Levin and Michael Bernier, it took its name from the unusual instrumentation of two Stick players. Mastelotto recently joked that if they knew it would go on so long, they would have thought of a better name. Since touch guitarist Markus Reuter replaced Bernier they have continued to compose new material, also ...

Stick Men at Havana

Read "Stick Men at Havana" reviewed by Geno Thackara


Stick Men Havana New Hope, PA August 15, 2017 Stick Men look like a secondary project or side endeavor on the surface--probably inevitable since the members are most known in the progressive music world for being part of the King Crimson family--but there's a real difference between being a side endeavor and being a band. This trio has always stood as an entity all its own. Their mostly-instrumental variety of electronic space-jazz-rock does overlap ...
