It was a Scott day at WFMU...
The duo of SCott Clark (drums) and SCott Burton (guitar) are SCUO. Representing Richmond, VA's fertile jazz scene, SCUO's stated goal has been to challenge themselves to write music that is simply too difficult for them to play. The music that emerges is precise, robotic, strange and minimalist, yet not without humor. Imagine Hella's proggy virtuoso approach to noise rock (but in a jazz context) + the repetition and slow evolution of Steve Reich and you're getting close.
SCUO recently descended upon The Long Rally for a fantastic set. And, yes, along with Long Rally host SCott, it makes a SCRIO.
