Why Because East Coast Tour

The Why Because by Glenn Bach

Channeling Can, The Duo, Boards of Canada, Art Ensemble of Chicago and other exuberant, textured soundscape specialists The Why Because proffer an engaging, immediate thang with some of the wildness and participatory glee of Akron/Family and Gang Gang Dance but thrown into far more instrumental waters. With members split between Oakland and Brooklyn, the band doesn’t play out much and this week offers a rare chance for East Coast audiences to check this lively act out. The core trio of The Why Because is Michael Henning, Gabriel Raines and Brian Relph, who will be joined by whatever fine musicians they can drag into their expansive net during these shows.
