A slightly revamped Toques and Beards were in an experimental mood as they played for approximately 30 people at the Slice, Jan, 17.

 Taylor Ackerman, Tyler Bird, bassist Brett Skauge and Avery Friesen on drums played some interesting country tinged rock and some Frank Zappa.
 ‘Trash Talk’ was a highlight.

They played a lot of original music and songs I didn’t recognize, ending their first set with Jason Schultchen’s song ‘Such A Pity.’
