Tonight: Get local

If you've seen/heard Organic Proof or any of the Quixotic live performances, you know what a dynamic drummer and spectacular performer Brandon Draper is. Tonight (12-19) he unveils his latest project, Free Band Radio, at Crosstown Station, 1522 McGee.

The band, which has been incubating and gestating for about 18 months, comprises Draper on drums with Eric Gould on bass (Particle and Hydra with Mickey Hart); John Brewer on keyboards (DJ, Diverse, Organic Proof); and Lucas Bingham on guitar (Big Mans Gold, Dank Nuggets). Show time is 10 p.m. The Medeski Martin and Wood tribute band the Sequel follows the Free Band Radio.

Cretin 66 is on a holiday bill at the Brick. The rest of the lineup: the Otta Styles and the Palpitators.
