PICK OF THE WEEK: “The Solutionists” @ Spaceland
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jazz Jury, before you reach your verdict ask yourself these questions. Who the hell are “The Solutionists”? And why are online tickets sold out for their Wednesday Spaceland show? And why is their name listed in quotes on the Spaceland calendar?
Consider these facts:
1) Perry Farrell’s new band, Satellite Party, claims to tell a story through a collaborative brain trust of artists, musicians and environmentalists called “The Solutionists”, who seek to redesign and come up with solutions for the world.
2) Satellite Party collaborators include Flea, New Order/Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, Thievery Corporation, Black Eyed Pea’s Fergie, and the ghost of Jim Morrison.
3) Based on these facts there should be no doubt that “The Solutionists” is in fact Satellite Party.
Your honor, the defense rests.
