One of the more revered figures amongst weirdo music types in the Twin Cities, Paul Metzger first rose to prominence around here as a member of towering post-punk/prog trio TVBC (whose 2001 release Gone is an absolute must-own) before beginning his current series of performances, which involve lengthy improvisations on modified guitars, banjos, and music boxes. Metzger is a rarity amongst improv-oriented performers in that he makes, well, consistently interesting music, with a knack for dynamics and restraint. Enjoy this set of acoustic guitar-based performances from last year.
