Fresh off a short tour of the South, Bay area jam scene favorite Displace is back home and ready to funk up Crowbar one last time. The famed venue closes in less than two months after two decades in the district, and Displace has a new LP to share.
If Necessity is anything like “All In,” the party-ready eight-minute collaboration Displace did with Lettuce, then expect to have one hell of a hangover this weekend.
Multi-instrumentalist Chris Sgammato told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the album is the fourth and final in a series of connected records going back to Eureka! from 2015. Eureka!, he added was a lightbulb, and the albums that followed—Undertow and Accidental—were about coming out of honeymoon phases and dealing with agony.
“Necessity is about boldly rebuilding in a new direction and looking back at all the inevitable and necessary anguish as small prices to pay for the beautiful life we’re blessed to live,” he added.
No telling how much of the 36-song, four-album journey Displace will get to this weekend, but it’s fitting that the band has decided to book Crowbar as the place where they get to close the door on the multi-album concept.
