Heavy future groove power trio lespecial and American percussionist Mike Dillon have announced they've united for a new collaborative project titled, Fackn' A.
The prog rockers shared a post on social media sharing their vision behind the alliance. "We’re teaming up with mallet madman Mike Dillon to bring you some serious Jazz Punk Vibes. Coming to the northeast (and a boat) soon🤘." They then cited Color Red Records, who described the project as "like Miles Davis took Bad Brains to Ghana."
In conjunction with the announcement of the project's creation, lespecial shared the project's first tour dates. Fackn' A will debut at the Stone Church in Newmark, N.H., on Jan. 26, then roll through Worcester, Mass.'s Electric Haze the following day before heading up to Stowe Cider in Stowe, Vt. on Jan. 28. It's notable the "(and a boat)" comment from the announcement post is in regards to the group taking to the high seas on Jam Cruise 19 which will take place from Feb. 6-12.
Tickets for Fackn’ A's shows are on sale now. Learn more and find tickets by visiting lespecial or Mike Dillon‘s website.
