Sporting members of the incredible bands Minutes, OUT!, Revelators, and Petrillo, Wowza sounds more like mid-period Can than most bands would ever dare to manage. The group's commitment to collective improvisation (within an undeniably rock framework) yields output that will delight and surprise anyone who can pay attention to anything besides an iPhone for more than five minutes.
