Greg Ginn doesn’t believe in categories or boundaries when it comes to his music. Sure, he was the founding member and guitarist of the infamous band Black Flag, but he loves jazz, techno and has a profound respect for Jerry Garcia.
Epic Trilogy, the latest release from Gone, is the band’s tenth album in more than 20 years, and the first to be released on SST Records since 1998’s Country Dumb. Epic Trilogy hits the ground running in true Gone fashion, blending heavy guitar with funky, jazz infused chords and an edgy, surfer punk vibe. The driving repetition is almost hypnotic, but then, dramatically, it cuts to a groove that puts the FU in funk.
This time around, Gone is made up of Ginn on guitar and bass, Andy Batwinas (Hor, Screw Radio) ..s and percussion, and Drummer (yep, that’s his name) on…well, drums. Though traditionally an instrumental band, Epic Trilogy features guest vocalist HR (Bad Brains, Human Rights) in a crafty background style that you will have to hear for yourself to fully capture the dynamic.

Wish I could have caught a show on your most recent tour. If you should venture out again, please consider setting up a show in either The Empty Glass in Charleston, WV., or the V-Club in Huntington, WV. or 123 Pleasant St. in Morgantown, WV. Believe me, we could use some medical music! The new songs are quite fun to listen to and I do so often. Best of luck to you Greg! -Sean
Ginn, i love your work. Black Flag got me into Gone, and well, Gone is a major influence on the band in now. I went as so far as getting a Dan Armstrong! You are an amazing guitar player.
