Just got Raw Vibes vol 2. So far so good! The end of "Bobby's Hash" is terrific.

was late on psycic psummer but that would've been a guaranteed top 20 of 2009, at least. bummed they're not hitting up more of NE during their summer tour.
― Bastards of Young Dro, Friday, 14 May 2010 04:24 (thirteen years ago) link
liking pure moods a lot -- this is the first i've heard them, i think.
― tylerw, Friday, 14 May 2010 13:13 (thirteen years ago) link
sounds a LOT like Oneida. This is not a complaint.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 14 May 2010 14:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Also got onto this album pretty late but really dig it - the last track is a thing of beauty, like Jackie Mittoo produced by Conny Plank or uh something
― xylyl syzygy (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 14 May 2010 14:52 (thirteen years ago) link
oops, sorry, "this album" = Psychic Psummer, didn't even know there was a new one but I am super-excited for that now! thank you ILM
It's a new ep, no?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 14 May 2010 14:54 (thirteen years ago) link
yes, 3 songs, about 20 minutes
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 14 May 2010 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Ah, I thought from the price on Rough Trade it was a cheap LP rather than an expensive EP. And apparently Norman Records have sold out of them despite them only arriving yesterday. Time to shop around...

love CAVE

saw these guys last night in Denver -- hollly shit, they were good. would highly recommend them to anyone. kind of worried their records are going to start sounding limp in comparison!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Gonna see them at pitchfork lol
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
These guys are pretty directly up my alley, loving the Pure Moods EP right now.

they were great when I saw em at the bank in baltimore

yeah i pretty much wanted to follow them on tour after seeing them last summer.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 22:30 (thirteen years ago) link
new one! NEVERENDLESS. Just got the promo from Drag City -- more of the same, but that is exactly what i want. Some long jamzzz.
― tylerw, Thursday, 7 July 2011 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
great title
― mizzell, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
already "this is the best" is the perfect distillation of what these guys do. 14 minutes of unrelenting awesomeness.
― tylerw, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
Think they are planning to go to Australia next year. I'm surprise there are already promos for the new one, don't think it's coming out til the fall?
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i was surprised too. comes out sept. 20.
― tylerw, Thursday, 7 July 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
Really excited for new CAVE!

my little review of the new one here: http://ow.ly/6bToa really loving it, annoyed that they seem to have tour dates scheduled in every US city except mine.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
Try living in Mid Missouri (oh, but they are def playing here)Their last show in town was in the basement DIY space and it fucking COOKED.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
Oh and your writeup is sweet. OTM.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:53 (twelve years ago) link
Their last show in town was in the basement DIY space and it fucking COOKED.is this their thing, playing nontraditional venues? the denver show they played was a totally random head shop/record store/art space that i'd never heard of before and haven't heard of since. god, it was so good.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
It is sometimes their thing, not always. They've all got a lot of experience with touring and playing rock shows. Sometimes a non-traditional space is just more attractive.Sometimes, getting paid is.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
they may have been paid in weed at the show i saw.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link

lol, the record release show for the new albumw as played on a flatbed truck driving down Milwaukee Avenue here in Chicago. Really wanted to go, but wasn't able to do so.

ah, didn't click the link, most videos on vimeo won't play at work
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
this makes me want to drive up to baltimore to see them.
― skip, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
as noted upthread, they were pretty godlike for me when i saw 'em last year.
― tylerw, Thursday, 22 September 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
that video is great -- there are lots of recognizable places, but the parts i like best are the anonymous intersections.
― some lady (La Lechera), Thursday, 22 September 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link
saw these dudes last night they were pretty cool
― flopson, Thursday, 22 September 2011 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
how was the show? new video herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLrofQRFQ6k
― tylerw, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:11 (ten years ago) link
it was great!! they have a new secret weapon -- i don't know the guy's name but i saw him when he played with bitchin bajas. i really liked the added baritone sax/flute stuff. he also had a snare and cymbal but i couldn't always hear their contribution. as always, they were super tight. i have an altogether new appreciation of the drummer for playing the exact same beat for as long as he plays it. yikes.
― special beet service (La Lechera), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:16 (ten years ago) link
yeah that dude is a machine. there is some horn action on the new one, it is pretty good. really does kinda sound like herbie hancock/headhunters/miles in the 70s at times.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:17 (ten years ago) link
yeah they were very tight, the rhythm section in general is sick. i hadn't seen them in a few years, i was surprised that dude who used to pretty much only play keys was now pretty much only playing guitar. he's a good guitarist but i missed the keys tbh, my fave song live had him on keys and the "secret weapon" on flute. the flute playing was great bc he wasn't doing jazz solos or whatever, he was doubling the keyboard part and it sounded amazing.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link
new video btw http://www.thefader.com/2013/09/24/video-cave-shikaakwa/
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:26 (ten years ago) link
lol i think that's the track i was just talking about with the flute.

new album is dope
― diamonddave85, Thursday, 7 November 2013 22:31 (ten years ago) link
Ha. La Lechera, I dj'd that gig in absentia. Cooper just used a bunch of mix tapes i've made for him over the years for the incidental music. i was surprised that dude who used to pretty much only play keys was now pretty much only playing guitar.Two different dudes.
They played in town on Halloween. I got to sing a cover of "Sister Ray" with them at the end of the set. Lots of fun.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 11 November 2013 14:49 (ten years ago) link
that sounds awesome -- where's the youtube?
― tylerw, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:38 (ten years ago) link
I don't even have a photo!I was wearing a pink blouse, blue shades, and a blonde wig.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:46 (ten years ago) link
Ugh that sounds SO FUN!! Did you sing the whole thing?! man that sounds like fun.
All I remember from your mix was Bohannon but it was enjoyable!
― sweat pea (La Lechera), Monday, 11 November 2013 16:44 (ten years ago) link
We didn't play it for twenty minutes. I sang maybe three verses and improvised a "freakout" that climaxed with repetition of the phrase "don't shake me, lucifer." We were going to cover a Roky Erickson song but current events changed our original plan.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 11 November 2013 16:48 (ten years ago) link
'silver headband' on the new one is so sick. not many can evoke the neu! vibe without resorting to a generic motorik beat. agree with tyler on the rest of it pulling serious fusion moves.
― the zaprudest film xxx (haitch), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 14:33 (ten years ago) link
they're playing a reunion(?) show on new years

recent interview with cooper crain said there'd be a new Cave album out this year ... but I haven't heard anything else. Cave drummer is playing with Nathan Bowles now ... http://www.nyctaper.com/2017/10/nathan-bowles-trio-september-8-2017-three-lobed-wxdu-hopscotch-afternoon-jamboree-raleigh-nc/
― tylerw, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 17:13 (six years ago) link
an erstwhile ilxor is DJing!
i am thinking about goingwondered what happened to their drummer -- who's playing if it's not that guy?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 13 December 2017 17:34 (six years ago) link
haha yeah i just noticed trip maker in this thread!
i had heard the reason cave hadn't been playing shows was cuz the drummer had moved. but your guess is as good as mine whether or not he'll be playing new years. i hope he is, though
― scoff walker (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 13 December 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link
ha yeah, i hope that they're making a long distance relationship work — Cave w/o that drummer seems a little pointless.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 18:02 (six years ago) link
i thought BBs were CAVE w/o that drummer;)
i am just wondering which local drummer would be his repacement -- an unknown? one of the many excellent known drummers in Chicago?
