'Member when we were all bummed out about not being able to see Tom Warrior's post-Celtic Frost incarnation Triptykon at Roadburn? As crushed as we were then, we're equally as stoked to hear that Warrior's bringing Triptykon state-side, with black metal experimentalists 1349 and Chicago sax-metal quartet Yakuza in tow. Triptykon's Eparistera Daimones is already one of our favorite records of the year, so their set alone is worth its weight in Swiss chocolate. Here's hoping they'll whip out some old Celtic Frost gems like they did at Roadburn.

Yakuza is playing as the Yakuza Arkestra on August 1st at Wicker Park Summerfest with Torche, Baroness, and a bunch of other bands. That should be a trip to watch!
From their blog:
The Yakuza Arkestra To Perform This Year's Wicker Park Music Festival
Profound Lore Records and Yakuza are proud to announce a special concert taking place on Sunday August 1st 2010 at the Wicker Park Music Festival in Chicago, IL. The "Yakuza Arkestra" will perform selections from their latest critically acclaimed recording "Of Seismic Consequence" with an expanded lineup featuring saxophonists Ken Vandermark, Mars Williams and Dave Rempis along with Cellist Alison Chesley (aka Helen Money) and vocalist Kelly Lamont.
Frontman Bruce Lamont explains "When asked to take part in the Wicker Park music fest we wanted to do something special. Immediately we wanted to include Alison and Kelly since they had contributed to the new record and also wanting to have a powerhouse saxophone section especially for passages like in 'Farewell to the flesh' (song from Seismic). Ken, Mars and Dave were at the top of the list. We have such respect for all the musicians that have agreed to take part and are humbled by their willingness to. Performing together with these great musical minds on one stage will truly be an epic event."
Yakuza Arkestra are scheduled to play at 6pm on Sunday August 1st 2010 on the North stage (located at the corner of North, Milwaukee and Damen ave) in Chicago. Baroness, Torche, Cap' n Jazz, Mission to Burma, Indian, Holy Fuck and Local H are also scheduled that weekend. For more information on the Wicker Park music fest go to:
