| Stick Men Feat. Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto & Markus Reuter: New Video Clip And Japan Tour W/Mel Collins STICK MEN to tour Japan in February 2017, with special guest, the ultimate progressive rock sax legend MEL COLLINS! STICK MEN's new video clip reveleaed! Hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed new album "Prog Noir", Stick Men have released a new video of the same name (by Ofrin, Israeli born, Berlin based visual artist). Stick Men featuring Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto of King Crimson and Markus Reuter. Says Tony Levin, "We're thrilled at the video Ofrin has made for our song 'Prog Noir'. She's an excellent artist in her own right, musical and visual, and made the video on her own, then presented it to us. It's pretty special when you find that your music has inspired others to create something new and special." Watch Stick Men's new video "Prog Noir" here: https://youtu.be/YR78Elff0Qs Stick Men is a progressive rock band created by musicians with extensive experience playing together. Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin are the rhythm section of the legendary band King Crimson. Mastelotto is in demand all over the world as the premier drummer for progressive rock. Levin plays in Crimson, with Peter Gabriel, and has recorded with John Lennon, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and others. Markus Reuter is a renowned composer/guitarist who designed and plays his own unique touch style guitar. Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for more than 2 decades, bring that tradition to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Stick, from which the band takes it's name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Stick functions at times like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his 8-string touch guitar - again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Mastelotto's drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion, and more. The result; audiences are fascinated by watching just three musicians onstage perform their unique compositions as well as wild improvisations and some cover versions of songs by King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, etc. PROG NOIR TOUR - Chapter Three WEST COAST USA + THE CARIBBEAN + JAPAN: JANUARY & FEBRUARY, 2017 January 10 - Seattle, WA (The Triple Door) January 11 - Seattle, WA (The Triple Door) January 12 - Portland, OR (Mississippi Studios) January 13 - Eugene, OR (Hi-Fi Music Hall) January 15 - Napa, CA (Silos) - Poetry reading, Tony Levin only!
