  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

From the Tzadik website: release date 2/22/2011

"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."

Ron Anderson's PAK will release their third CD called Secret Curve on John Zorn's Tzadik label. Release date 2/22/2011.
