MARC RIBOT’S CERAMIC DOG
Marc Ribot, el. guitar
Shahzad Ismaily, el. bass
Ches Smith, drums

International House, 3701 Chestnut Street
$12 General Admission

Please join Ars Nova Workshop and International House for the Philadelphia debut of Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog, and the grand opening celebration of the Ibrahim Theater. OPEN BAR PRECEDING THE CONCERT BEGINNING AT 8PM. Sponsored by Philadelphia Brewing Company.

Party Intellectuals is the new debut recording from Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog, a post-everything band combining the energies of two masters of downtown New York City mayhem: guitarist/vocalist Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, John Zorn, Robert Plant, T-Bone Burnett, Marianne Faithful, Lounge Lizards,
Elvis Costello) and bassist Shahzad Ismaily (Laurie Anderson, Will Oldham, Jolie Holland, Secret Chiefs 3), with West Coast indie/experimental genius drummer Ches Smith (Xiu Xiu, Secret Chiefs 3, Trevor Dunn’s Trio Convulsant). Ribot is a widely recognized original on the guitar, with influence across multiple genres of music, including rock, jazz, punk, Latin, soul, 80s No-Wave, avant-garde and noise. Ceramic Dog draws all of this, along with Ismaily and Smith’s indie / electronica experimentation, into a power-packed live performance.
