New album "Your Turn" coming out April 30, 2013 on Northern Spy (US), Yellow Bird (Europe) and P-Vine (Japan).
1. chien de faience: expression: frozen with emotion, as in the perfectly still moment before a fight breaks out.2. Ultimate kitsch object.
3. A free/punk/funk/experimental/psychedelic/post electronica collective,
featuring Marc Ribot (cubanos postizos, john zorn, tom waits, etc etc), plus two of the best young players on the new york/california underground improv/experimental rock scene, Shahzad Ismaily - bass/electronics (Will Oldham, Secret Chiefs 3, Jolie Holland, Yoko Ono) and Ches Smith - drums (Xiu Xiu, Good for Cows, Secret Chiefs 3)
4. Not a 'project': a real band.
"Marc Ribot's new power trio, filled out by the remarkable versatile rhythm team of bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Ches Smith, is his rawest band in ages."
(TimeOut NY)
"Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, whose style is experimental...though much more pleasing on the ears, was one of the best surprises of the festival."
