Revolt of the ILX Brigade: New Post-Fahey Folk For PPL that post in the Takoma & Tompkin's Square Threads

"Featuring Steve Gunn (GHQ, Desert Heat, Violators), Nathan Bowles (Pelt, Black Twig Pickers), Jimy SeiTang (Rhyton, Stygian Stride, Psychic Ills), Justin Tripp (Georgia, Steve Gunn), Margot Bianca (Flown, Key Demo), Dave Shuford (Rhyton, D. Charles Speer, NNCK), and Wednesday Knudsen (Pigeons, Sea Donkeys)"

There it is. Well I may spoke too soon on where some of the places the records heads toward. Wish there was more Fursaxa styled vocals, but I still can't tell what some of that stuff is. Defiantly a good thing though to throw a bit of confusion at you.

speaking of which (and off topic), is fursaxa still making music in any form? i don't know how long it's been since i heard of any new releases involving her.

No idea what Fursaxa is up to, haven't heard anything in a long while either.

I like that Black Dirt Oak record more each time I hear it, though there are a few trajectories on there I would have been happy for them to explore at more length (which is what I think you were saying Neal, and I definitely felt that way a bit but it is cool that they cover a decent amount of territory too). Good mix of acoustic elements and weird electronics/drones/etc., but very much comes across like a studio record layered up over time.

Hey Evan, like that song you posted. Doesn't sound ugly to me, but then again I like ugly and imperfect so maybe I am not your target demographic. Some really nice turnarounds, and the sound at times reminds me of the last couple of Polvo records, of which you know I am a fan.

Thanks! I was not very happy with it. I guess because it can sound so much more elegant in person. I think I'm going to try to play it slower. I've been hammering it out so many times that I forget to perform it. Plus recording stiffens me up or at least makes me hypersensitive to the messed up bits.

Really glad it reminds you of Polvo! That's a huge compliment for me. And as far as the ugly sound it's really patched together with volume shifts and stuff. I was trying to smooth mistakes out but I rushed.

Something about selecting my m-box to mono through garageband makes it sound really dirty I think, but when I select it to be stereo it is much cleaner but panned way to the right. Argh!

"Flip" should of sounded like "Kozy". Going to try again tonight I am determined...

i thought it was good too, not ugly at all! you want ugly, i've got plenty of ugly.

Thank you!! Hey, do you still provide krautrock style drums to needy folks?

Yes I do! I even have some new ones!! Since you asked, I have a rough drum part worked out for Murder of Maria Marten that is screaming out for a super jam but regardless of that, here is the link --be kind, I'm still new. http://tbnurse.tumblr.com

Since we are on a brief listening excursion here (and the upcoming/hypothetical deluge of new records has not happened yet) going to post the recent set I mentioned above, i.e., the one where someone asked for their money back etc. There are also teenagers audibly laughing at one point because of audible feedback (which made them uncomfortable I guess), but once they realized it was intentional they actually came closer and watched the rest of the set. Pretty weird night overall, especially because the set is very minimal for most of its duration:

Hey, here's my Nashville Scene piece on Peter Walker, who's playing in Nashville on Wed., Feb. 12.

And, some reportage I did for this Nashville Scene piece on William Tyler's live show early this year. the show was definitely more Area Code 615 Jr. than it was Fahey, altho the harmonic elements Tyler uses are in line w/ Faheyism, I suppose.

good stuff edd

i haven't seen tyler with a band sounds like it's a lot different than his solo gigs

yeah sXe, it is

clip of that neu cover posted upthread, it is killlller

edd hurt! great piece on walker & "neo-revelationist rock archaeology and old-fashioned astrology" is very otm about tyler

i think the winter twilight put me in the mood but i really liked yr set grandavis, v elegant tho the chugging caught me a bit offguard (mb more [ sub ] bass wld lend it extra mass?). indignant local feebs are funny but it's not like yr trolling the audience. hopefully it was educational.

wow grandavis - the teens were really yukking it up huh? geez. i thought you meant the light giggling, but then the boy teen was like LOLOLOLOL
how rude -- i love that it gets all heavy right after that. a+!

Hah thanks folks. I do not blame the teens, I mean I am not a young looking dude and I was up there making high-pitched feedback on purpose. Most likely they hadn't seen much like it before, plus they were there hanging out in mixed company etc., I am sure it was all angsty/nervous behavior. They stayed though, most likely because of the heavy part!

Ogmor, I rarely go for "chuggy" stuff (hopefully comes across not quite chuggy but more just a change of pace kind of thing, but I get the descriptor) but I also try not to just play pretty all the time. I agree though, my amp doesn't put out much bass, so it doesn't have much heft. Mainly I like the unstable quality of the notes when I add the low octaves, the way the low notes fail at times etc. Just an effect I like. The teens are into sub-bass apparently though, based on the lines for any EDM/"dubstep" shows that get booked here (which all the sudden are all the time), so maybe I need to incorporate more of it to pull in the youth demographic!

Jokes aside though, thanks for listening.

imo chug and choogle away, experimental guitar players!

seriously the combo of experimentation and earthy chug is a very pleasant one imo.

Edd, that Walker piece is great! What an interesting guy, seems to have had a full life for sure (and all that detail in a pretty short piece too).

Also completely cosign that Rother cover from W. Tyler band. Would love to see that live, great band sound.

I am glad that I have the La Lechera demographic on board btw.

I love the idea of you harnessing dubstep dynamics & kids turning up at gigs to goad you until you unleash The Drop & they can gleefully stomp around

Gonna need some humbuckers I think, maybe downtune some more (only at D-flat right now).

Light in the Attic is reissuing Peter Walker's 1968 "Song for Karmela" in early March. Very different from the newly issued 1970 music, and more in line with the main stream of "American primitive" (and raga-influenced) guitar pieces. Nice stuff, and I also referenced his 1967 Rainy Day Raga, for my piece. Apparently the long-lost jam stuff Tompkins Sq. issued on Walker was more of a jam session.

been listening to Vol 6: Days Have Gone By by Fahey a lot lately

it's an interesting album
feels transitional...like the threads of his music are starting to fray and drift off into the ether sometimes

Peter Walker's in Baltimore Saturday night at the Windup Space

Whoa, gotta tell my buddy that just moved to Baltimore to check that out. He will be psyched.

New Bums - new project by Ben Chasny of Six Organs and Donovan Quinn who put out a really nice singer songwriter record called Your Wicked Man a few years ago on Soft Abuse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78dObGiUYPc

Just going to repost this here for you UMS (there was a little New Bums action above):

"Coming to your neck of the woods too I think UMS: http://first-avenue.com/event/2014/04/newbums";

Commercial for the record is cool though! They have made videos and everything for this record. One of my favorite Six Organs shows was when he played a whole set of solo acoustic and had Donovan Quinn opening.

amazingly i have weaseled my way into opening for new bums in april out here in Denver. Forces At Work's first gig outside of my basement omg.

Aww cool Tyler! Hope it goes well.

Also UMS, wasn't trying to point out that we were talking about New Bums upthread, just wanted to make sure that you see that they are hitting your neck of the woods up on this tour.

not familiar w/ quinn, but i love this new bums thing, so I should definitely check him out.

I think he was in Skygreen Leopards at some point, and his solo stuff that I've heard is pretty cool, but I should dig deeper as well.

this is one off your wicked man...this one has kind of a nikki sudden vibe....sometimes i get a go-betweens vibe from him as well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FHYzFzo6vg

yeah the new bums has a heavy nikki sudden/dave kusworth vibe (and they cover sudden on their single).

yeah i score an original press twin/tone of that album a couple years ago, pretty psyched

New Bums now streaming. Haven't listened yet but going to tune in today:

http://pitchfork.com/advance/327-voices-in-a-rented-room/

just book my first official "show"! 4/20, an auspicious day

i found a nice copy of that donovan quinn LP last night, really enjoying it

Cool UMS, hope it goes well. Still some time to learn Bob Marley and Grateful Dead covers ....

are you going under your given name or Blind M@tt Death

omg

Hah!

tyler i'm getting p tempted to take yr advice

u gotta market this shit, build up the mystique
http://www.mainspringpress.com/masked.jpg

Do it UMS!

I had a band that for at least a day considered calling itself "The Azalea City Penis Club" (we had probably had too much to drink that night ....), but lo and behold someone has already gone and done it.
