Pique-nique is proud to present Joseph Shabason’s reimagination of the iconic 1996 skateboarding film from Toy Machine, “Welcome To Hell,” performed live with a 9-piece band. Drawing inspiration from Jon Hassell, Azymuth, and Miles Davis circa In a Silent Way, Shabason breathes life into legendary skaters like Jamie Thomas, Elissa Steamer, and Mike Maldonado. The invigorating, improvisational, full-body experience of skating shines through in Shabason’s latest album, which will be performed in full. Modal jazz, off-kilter funk, ethereal harmonies, and muscular improvisations all feature, leaving you with a final question: is this hell a nightmare or a mesmerizing paradise?
