He's called the underground poet laureate of downtown Minneapolis. She is an internationally starring avant-garde singer/songwriter. With his gritty, street-wise verse and her dark, lush voice, they are forging Invisible Jazz, words and music that meld ancient Alexandria and medieval Paris with Neo-Platonism and baseball in a lyrical crucible fired by love and war and the mystical vision - with Rich Patterson on guitar, David Gullickson on drums.
Band History:

Tabatha Predovich Tabatha’s first endeavor was in Chicago in 1990 when she created Velvet Rat - an improvisational unit that performed with a rotating line-up of musicians. She was recruited by the English band, Elysium and relocated to London in 1993. She wrote, recorded and toured with the band for 3 years, taking them from the lofty realms of ethereal pop to a provocative world of post-modern techno-funk.


Her next band Radium, in Detroit, fused pop, punk and progressive sensibilities into a new paradigm, resulting in evocative, hypnotic pieces which were the most compelling work of their career. Tabatha lent her dark, lush vocals as well as her commanding stage presence.


Uzza was formed in Detroit, in the wake of Radium in 2002 by Tabatha and Rich Patterson They are now planning to resurrect Uzza in Minneapolis.


David Gullickson born in Austin, MN where he showed proclivity for percussion by beating on Oatmeal boxes and coffee cans. In 1969 he acquired his first drum kit, which he still plays. Since then, has been in blues bands, jazz bands, country bands, rock bands and noise bands including Wilma and the Wilburs (first band to play 7th Street Entry), Tetrox and the Soilmasters, The Vendettas, Kindergarten, Duck Kicking Vulture, Cold Truth, Toad Stool, Grant Hart, Fruit Jar Stackers and Dog House Reilly.


Rich Patterson contributes a crafty blend of primitive and progressive influences forged from his experience in other Detroit-based bands such as The Resonators and Eyestrings. For the last five years he has played guitar and collaborated with Tabatha on her other musical incarnations, Radium, and Uzza.



Ike Russell When he's not flying his single-engine plane over remote and unexplored regions of Arizona and the Southwest, Ike makes music that carries him over a broad expanse of the Twin Cities music scene. An ace session man, he's played several instruments with such Twin City luminaries as the Talkin' Roots Crew, Creekdippers Mark Olson, Victoria Williams, Mike Razz Russell, I Roots, Charles & Ed, Twisted Linguistics, Interlock, Jose Curbelo & Friends, and Pharaoh Spirits.
