PG13

PG13 is a Bay Area trio that formed in 2010. Phillip Greenlief on saxophone (Lost Trio, Orchestra Nostalgica),  John Shiurba on guitar (Eskimo, The Molecules), with Thomas Scandura on drums.The music for PG13 was originally conceived by Phillip as a tribute to his cat, the late, great George Cleaver. The group has expanded its repertoire to include compositions by John. Heavy rock riffs with shifting rhythms. Counter melodies punctuated by structured freakouts. Fans of Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Don Caballero, et al would appreciate their path. 

The group has shared stages with many bands over the years including Gentlemen Surfer, Chiromancer, The Broun Fellinis, and Mike Watt and the Missing Men to name a few. PG13 released its self-titled debut CD in 2018 on the local Edgetone label.
