about

At the end of 2012, guitarist Jim Otterson (The Defenestration Unit, Fist of Kong, Project Grimm, Schlong Weasel, etc.) left Houston for more northern climes. Just prior to his departure, a number of musical friends convened at Digital Warehaus Studios to record some improvisations with him to see him off, in groups of varying size and instrumentation. And here they are.
