Following some not-so-subtle hints via social media recently, experimental rock drummer Joe Russo and Simon Posford (Shpongle) confirmed they have indeed come together to form a new collaborative duo which is set to make its live debut this weekend in New York City.

Though the duo project does not yet have an official name, Posford confirmed in a post shared to his Facebook on Friday that he and Russo will share what they’ve been working on with a show at the Lost Circus tent at Avant Garden in Brooklyn, NY on Sunday (December 15th).

Posford’s statement reads,

After my upcoming show in NYC at Webster Hall sold out in two days, we decided to add a fun event this Sunday at the Lost Circus tent at Avant Garden … And the rumours are true; I’ve been trying out a new project with the astonishingly talented Joe Russo this week…. And I think I’ve managed to persuade him to join me on Sunday night for a ridiculous jam and improvised set!! The flyer is a little misleading if you don’t ready it correctly – I am indeed in all those bands… But I have no idea exactly what I’m going to play yet – that’s part of the improvisation with Joe! All I do know, is that I will be looping his drum parts live on the fly, adding a live bass on the fly… And mixing in various stems and riffs from some of my projects. I mean it might easily sounds like a big old mess. But equally it might possibly be the best thing I’ve ever done! 

Russo also shared his own thoughts on his latest collaboration with Posford in a post shared to his Instagram on Saturday morning in saying,

Simon came out to my studio for a few days and we worked on the concept. What we created those days was a splendid mix of improvisation and composition. We decided it was a time for trial by fire. Very happy to be joining him this Sunday in The Lost Circus at The Avant Gardener for the (pseudo) debut of this new (currently nameless) and exciting project!! We can do better than Almost Shpongled right!?!?

Tickets for Sunday’s event are on sale now, here.
