MARC RIBOT TRIO CERAMIC DOG & EZSTER BALINT
Marc Ribot-guitar, Shazad Ismaily-bass, Ches Smith-drums, Ezster Balint-vocals
His guitar can sound either smooth or biting; still, you can always tell it is Marc Ribot, whether he plays with John Zorn, Elvis Costello or Tom Waits. His band Ceramic Dog creates intelligent improvisations full of dynamics. Restrained pieces are interchanged with explosive riffs and hectic grooves. All kinds of styles are covered, from Cuban to punk. Guest singer Eszter Balint acted in films by Jim Jarmusch and Steve Buscemi. ‘Marc Ribot’s rawest band in ages’ (Time Out).
