With a repertoire that ranges from Steve Lacy to the White Stripes and noise rock guerillas Lightning Bolt, The Thing is a sonic strike force of three of Scandinavian creative music’s most commanding and important figures. With Sweden’s Mats Gustafsson sax, live electronics, and Norwegians Ingebrigt Håker Flaten bass and Paal Nilssen-Love drums.
