Ches Smith

I play drums and percussion, and some horrible piano. I write music for solo percussion, jazz small groups, big bands and rock bands. Lately I've been playing with Good for Cows, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, Secret Chiefs 3, Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant, Ben Goldberg, Xiu Xiu and 7 Year Rabbit Cycle as well as my own projects Congs for Brums and These Arches. I would love to play with Theory of Ruin again if those assholes didn't have all the funds frozen.A select discography includes: Ches Smith: CONGS FOR BRUMS; Good for Cows: BEBOP FANTASY, LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO; Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant: SISTER PHANTOM OWL FISH; Secret Chiefs 3: BOOK OF HORIZONS; Ben Goldberg Quintet: THE DOOR, THE HAT, THE CHAIR, THE FACT; Todd Sickafoose: BLOOD ORANGE; Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog: SELF-TITLED LIVE EP; Theory of Ruin: COUNTER-CULTURE NOSEBLEED, FRONTLINE POSTERCHILD.
