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

dammit, i brainfarted on the time zone differences and am missing it. thanks for recording it, evan! bowles/bachman i'm especially excited about.

No problem! So far only a few hiccups in the stream.

I'd really love to see video of the next performance rather than just audio.

whatever is going on right now on wxdu is pretty jammin

ha, it's just a recording of bardo pond at the moment, but yeah it is amazing.

that's one of those bands i always meant to check out

wonder if mike gangloff couldn't make it? wxdu site says: live music between all sets from Mike Gangloff and Nathan Bowles (both of Pelt, Black Twig Pickers and solo fame)
but they've just been playing three lobed stuff...

and yeah, i've just kinda gotten around to bardo pond, but they are pretty happening -- i mean, they have a certain thing they do, but they do it pretty goddamn well.

really, it's just become apparent to me in the last 2-3 years that three lobed is in fact The Best Label - http://threelobed.bandcamp.com/

Yuck I'm getting a ton of lag now. It's going to be a pretty choppy audio file. :(

nyc taper (at least one of them) is doing sound, so hopefully, there'll be plenty of high quality recordings...

Is this still Bachman studio material?

Awesome! I wasn't rushing to share my recording since it was pretty ravaged by lag in the stream particularly during the Little Black Egg set. My fiancee's recording had the same problem back at home (I was at work).

Global's album release show tomorrow night!

sweet, excited to revisit that black egg set. good luck, global -- are you playing too, m@tt?
he might be shy about plugging it here, but i'll do it -- grandavis is playing with steve gunn + mary lattimore/jeff ziegler next month: http://holdmyticket.com/event/181589
just got the promo of that lattimore/ziegler album -- really nice stuff, people here would probably dig it...

Interested in listening to that set again. I was a little disappointed during it, as the assembled firepower onstage was pretty astounding. The last thing I thought they were gonna do was a straight drone/improv piece with no drums and 4 guitarists all mostly not playing much guitar (though it was fully appropriate in the context of the show of course). There may be a lot more detail there than I could hear in the room though. It was pretty, and sounded perfectly cool, but I was hoping to maybe hear some guitar interplay amongst Gunn/Tyler/Kaplan and that was not the direction they went in for the most part. Again, I may have missed some of what was happening, that was by far the most well-attended set (room was packed), and people were coming and going the entire time as they walked in to see what Yo La was up to, heard a big roar (no songs) and decided not to stick around, which was pretty distracting.

Very cool about Global's album release! Haven't been able to check much out yet, was offline most of the last week and a half and need to catch up on a bunch of stuff.

Excited about that Gunn/Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler show for sure, still haven't seen Gunn in a good setting and dig that Lattimore/Zeigler stuff, definitely up my alley.

"It was pretty, and sounded perfectly cool, but I was hoping to maybe hear some guitar interplay amongst Gunn/Tyler/Kaplan and that was not the direction they went in for the most part."

Yeah, it was underwhelming for that reason for sure. When what three people have in common is being known for amazing guitar playing, and are put on stage together, resulting ambiguous/anonymous drone is a huge let down.

Just in that context, though.

Yeah context is key here. I am a fan of drone/improv/noise (and veer this way in my own playing often enough) but considering all of the directions this crew could have taken this one was a little lower on my list. Still cool they did it, and nice that they are helping Letha out with the download.

According to Nathan Bowles, Steve Gunn's touring band right now has a second guitarist along w/ Nathan on drums and a bass player I believe, so probably some nice cutting loose at those shows if anyone gets a chance to see them. Not sure who the second guitarist is though.

I really like some of Dylan Carlson's solo guitar music <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oagF0ZPhXkA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

haha sorry didnt embed... http://youtu.be/oagF0ZPhXkA

I dig some of that D. Carlson solo stuff for sure. I am a fan of telecaster worship.

Also wanna say that I will be there in spirit for the big Global record release show with UMS tonight! Sure wish I could be there in person but hope it is great on all fronts. Try to get someone to record it!

yeah i want the bootleg for sure

me three!

i'm gonna try and record my set for sure, but probably the whole thing. stay tuned!

Make it happen man. Well, really, good luck and have fun!

not that this thread needs more good music for people to check out, but wow, this forthcoming nathan bowles record is sounding great.

Hah well, some of us are gonna have to wait to hear that one anyways, but glad to hear that it is sounding good. Recorded at Black Dirt again, which seems to pump out nothing buy good records these days. Really enjoyed getting so see Nathan play so much at the Three Lobed show, really looking forward to this one for sure.

Also, no harm in more good music coming this thread's way!

Apparently it is Leo Kottke's birthday!

happy birthday leo cupcake

Excellent David Keenan review of the Fahey book in this month's Wire. If nothing else it's reminded me I really need to check out more of the Revenant back catalogue. That line 'shame, Glenn, shame - who sing about shame any more?' really broke me up for some reason. First stop, the Stanley Brothers!

Screen grab of the review: http://snag.gy/r9QEP.jpg

And seconded on the Nathan Bowles - really powerful stuff. And thirded (fourthed?) on wanting to hear the bootleg.

great review, thanks for that. i agree that sometimes that bio is a bit surface level but this is coming from someone who's read basically every little scrap on the internet about the guy, so i can understand the conundrum lowenthal was prob in, a book necessarily has to appeal to multiple demographics

i'm so stoked on the new bowles record, that first one is probably one of my favorite records.

well, the CDRs didn't come in the mail on time for my release show, my amp also blew the day before... umm what else, i forgot all the download codes to hand out for the show. i guess where i'm going with this is that my SD cards were full for my Tascam so then i meant to record it on my phone but forgot. oops. my playing was a bit shaky anyway! i'd say the 7th st Entry bootleg can stand as the 'official' entry in the S. Palmer live canon lolz. (i also got stuck in the parking lot afterwards because the machine ate my entry ticket and the gate wouldn't open.)

but for reals it was really a fun night! everyone played great, Matt Sowell brought a Weissenborn which was gorgeous, UMS had a really cool new song in the works, a blusier one, and Kyle Fosburgh has chops out his ass and knows how to use them. i'd suggest folks check him out, he is 23 and seriously fantastic.

great night...everyone played great, especially liked it when your friend sat in w/you global

Sorry to hear about all of the problems leading up to the show, but glad it was fun anyways! We'll just have to wait for future shows to get our bootleg fix.

I like that keenan piece, not sure what he's thinking saying fahey had broken the link to his subconscious in his later years tho

This just popped up on Twitter - that's quite a line up! http://mie.limitedrun.com/tickets/12833-pelt-richard-youngs-united-bible-studies-nathan-bowles-mike-gangloff-and-patrick-best-live-in-london-16-11-14

Amazing venue, too - reputedly the oldest church in the world, with evidence of worship going back to the 3rd century or something daft.

First ever on the spot improv with two of my friends. Not necessarily fit for sharing, but it was sloppy and fun enough and maybe there's something to it!

I'm on electric! Our project name is apparently "Skuntkt Stinky" because why not?

I forgot to upload a solo run through of one of my pieces I'd shared here a lot earlier. This take from our jam session is much better (though the recording is kinda blown out, oh well). I'll upload it on Wednesday. :)

Pretty cool Evan, glad you have some folks to play with. Seems to have some potential, look forward to hearing more down the line.

oh man chris from soft abuse is spoiling us in mpls!!!

http://www.kfai.org/

Oh cool, tuning in now! Thanks.

hey I got my first byline in our local vv weekly (the city pages)...interviewed chris and wrote an article on Old Familiar Chime

it was REALLY challenging to articulate this stuff because I think i'm so used to talking to all of you guys who are like super into everything...i think i did an ok job of explaining it to a general audience, i hope
