Help us fill in some dates in our European tour.
PAK is looking to fill some dates in our European tour. PAK is based in New York City and we will be touring this year as duet. Our new CD Secret Curve was released this year on John Zorn's Tzadik label, it has been receiving rave reviews and we have been playing some amazing gigs here in New York and on tour in the US. The dates we have open are October 30, 31 touring with the amazing band from Dunkerque, France – Yolk. Then PAK will be on tour by ourselves the free dates are November 3, 4, 5. Then we are playing at Magasin 4 in Brussels on the 6th. Then we have free 7, 8, 9 and we move on for a concert in Krefeld, Germany on the 10th.
I hope that one of these dates work for you, please let me know. www.ronanderson-molecules.com

uploaded song from the new PAK CD on Tzadik
We are very exited that the new CD will be in the stores soon. release date is February 22. If yo cannot find at a store near you..order direct www.ronanderson-molecules.com.
The uploaded song is call Overture...just a short tease and introduction to the CD with many of the main themes and ideas for the CD.
Here are the notes from the Tzadik Website - Ron Anderson’s Pak: Secret Curve [#8079]
Ron Anderson is a multi-instrumentalist intuitive music maker whose compositions, bands, collaborations and solo projects combine heavy rock intensity with improvisation and a level of compositional complexity rarely matched. For his third CD with his band PAK, he has avoided the electric guitar and orchestrated a rich and orchestral sound with keyboards, strings, horns and electronics. One of the most maddening releases he has ever created, Secret Curve is mind blower, and one of Ron's masterpieces. Featuring some of the best players out of the downtown scene, it is a brilliant new direction for this brave musical explorer who has worked with artists as diverse as Elliott Sharp, Sun City Girls, Otomo Yoshihide, James Chance and Haco.
PAK is planning tours this year into the next of the US, Europe, Japan. We hope to see you at one of our concerts. -

PAK concert /save Instants Chavirés,very important club in Paris
................................ I have two things to tell all of you about....
....1. PAK is doing a gig this coming Saturday night.
....2. Les Instants Chavirés, a very important club in ....Paris...., needs you to sign their online petition to stay alive. ....
....
July 25 - Olive’s 118 Main Street, Nyack, New York
118 Main Street, Nyack, ....New York.... ..9:00 PM......PAK with No Use For Humans and Giggle The Ozone ....
PAK is doing a concert just outside of ....New York City.... and up the ..Hudson River.. a bit, in ....Nyack.., ..New York..... It is not often that we get the chance to play in the suburbs so we are looking forward to getting out of the city for the day and playing some of the new music we have been working on. No Use For Humans invited us to play this show with them and our old friends Giggle The Ozone. ....
PAK will be playing all the music that will be on our new CD coming out this autumn.
....Save Les Instants Chavirés....
Les Instants Chavirés is a club located just outside of ....Paris.., ..France..... It is a very important stop of all adventurous musicians on tour in ..Europe.. and a very special part of the music life in ....Paris..... If you go to ....Paris.... plan a trip one night to Instants Chavires to see some great music. Free jazz or Improvised rock, drums or laptop for the last 18 years this is the place to hear something different, something new, something exciting. Think of the Stone here in ....New York City.... or the now defunct Tonic. ....
But Les Instants Chavires is in need of your help, the General Council of the Seine-Saint-Denis Department has cut the money that the club has been promised by 18 percent, and it looks like this is just the start. This club is vital to hundreds of musicians not only in ....France.... and ..Europe.., but all over the world. We cannot lose this place! Please sign the petition at http://instants.mollo.fr (they will send you a confirmation email, you will need to respond to it to confirm)
Thanks – Ron
