MIKE DILLON LIVE MONDAY @ 2 PM

When Texas-born and New Orleans-based percussionist/vibraphonist Mike Dillon isn’t backing Les Claypool or Ani Difranco, he’s leading his own groups. Dillon’s the brains behind punk-funksters Billy Goat, Hairy Apes BMX and now the current Go-Go Jungle, with Kansas City-based “drum counselor” Go-Go Ray on the skins and JJ Richards on bass.
