Schleigho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schleigho are a 4-piece band centered around New York City, consisting of Jesse Gibbon (piano), Suke Cerulo (guitar, flute and saxophone), Erik Egol (drums) and Drew McCabe(bass). Their music could be described as a fusion of acid jazz and funk, and is mostly instrumental and improvisational. Schleigho has not played live since April 2006 and most members are currently playing in other projects. Jesse Gibbon currently plays in the touring band for Teddy Geiger. Although no official announcement has been made, Gibbon's unavailability likely means the band is defunct.
Current Taking Back Sunday bassist Matt Rubano played with Schleigho for about a year and appeared on studio album 'Continent'. Paco Mahone also played with Schleigho for several years after Rubano left, appearing on live album 'Live at Ho-Down 2000'. Earlier albums featuring Drew McCabe on bass include 'Farewell to the Sun' and 'In the Interest of Time'.
