The supergroup formations for Brooklyn Comes Alive are starting to take some serious shape. With over five announcement already in the pocket, today we announce another: DRKWAV, featuring keyboardist John Medeski (MMW, The Word), drummer Adam Deitch (Lettuce, Break Science), and saxophonist Skerik (Garage A Trois, Critters Buggin’).

Bringing dark truths to light into the psychedelic corners of the human psyche, the trio revels in the pitch black, yet continuously discovers beauty and sheds light through sonic exploration. Expect a unique blend of space-shifting jazz, experimental rock, and psychedelic transformations. A rarity to see these three perform together live, DRKWAV released their debut record The Purge last year, which you can stream for free right here.

Also at Brooklyn Comes Alive, Deitch will be joining band-mate Borahm Lee (Break Science), and Marc Brownstein & Aron Magner of The Disco Biscuits for a first-time-ever performance as [Br]eaking [Bi]scuits.

Set for October 22, 2016, the second annual event will span three of Brooklyn’s most popular venues — Brooklyn Bowl, The Hall at MP, and Music Hall of Williamsburg — all within a 10 minute walking radius. Tickets to the event grants you access to all three venues, and can be found here. More information can be found on the event’s website.
