I think the motorik rave up Ned's referring to is "In E," def a personal favorite.

Probably -- I have that around somewhere, must dig it out again.

I was there too.

It was a night for ILX! Not only myself and Elvis T. and Matt Maxwell and you, but Vahid and then famous athlete, who came up to me and asked "Are you Ned Raggett from I Love Music?" I was completely flustered! And I was talking to Mario from Earthless at the time and he probably wondered what the fuck was going on!

Favorite band were Earthless, actually. Why haven't I heard of them before?

Hell, I've been on the Rocket list forever (in that Mario from Earthless is the same Mario in Rocket and formerly with Clikitat Ikatowi) and I only just heard of them the other day -- now I have a fave new band! Emusic.com has the show from last night available -- they have some sorta Clear Channel deal with the Casbah -- while the CDR the band were selling is from a show there earlier in the year, I'm listening to it now. Three tracks, the first is a touch slower than what they played yesterday but still great -- however, they are DEFINITELY a live band, they've got that sheer room-filling explosive feeling down.

Subarachnoid miss Mason Jones a bit, I think. No encore as such from AMT -- just two goddamn hours of noise and wackiness.

thanks for the info, Ned. Do you by any chance have a link to last night's Earthless set on emusic? I just did an artist search over there and couldn't find it.

― chëshy f cät, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe it takes time to upload? There were quite literally copies there thirty minutes after the show was over, ready for sale.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, try a venue search maybe, for the Casbah.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, wait, the CDR has this URL listed too:

ew, when was mario rubalcaba ever in rftc?

Dude, he's BEEN in Rocket for three years now!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

uh... they're still together?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

:-D who took that pic, O?

FYI: RFTC did a song on the soundtrack to some 0ls3n tw1nz movie.

Now of course, the ultimate tour:

Earthless
Earth

(but my U + K question.. was the woman in AMT backhumping her synth Herrema-style?)

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah no, Cotton is either out of the band permanently (as it seems) or on hiatus. When not playing guitar, Higashi was attacking the synth this time out, and not in Cotton's, ah, unique fashion. Four person lineup -- Kawabata, Higashi, Tsuyama on bass, Koizumi on drums

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

-- John Bullabaugh (Liphedd...), June 8th, 2004.

John, in case you haven't heard, the show has been moved from the Echo Lounge to the EARL (just up the street) and it's now a 21+ show.

― Ernest P. (ernestp), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

holy crap i could kill myself. i completely lost track of the date and missed the show last night! THIS IS SOME KIND OF NIGHTMARE!

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw dude! Sorry to hear that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

carrboro.

no wonder they think thier music is from a cosmic source; when i woke up this morning, my ears were still ringing.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Thursday, 17 June 2004 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

10 bucks is pretty expensive for a aural subtitute for sleeping pills.

― peter smith (plsmith), Thursday, 17 June 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

The Atlanta show was total myndfuckness. Superb. Among the best shows I've ever seen. There.

― John Bullabaugh (John Bullabaugh), Thursday, 17 June 2004 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw about half-an-hour of their set last night (I was splitting my time between AMT and, ahem, a different show elsewhere which was nowhere near as good even though there were like a billion kids there) and it fucking KICKED my ASS - their time-signature changes are so fluid & gorgeous

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 17 June 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

did they use a lot of percussion for this stuff or not

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Thursday, 17 June 2004 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Hm...the drummer's kit looked pretty standard to me, I seem to recall.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 June 2004 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

well, i mean they used drums, right? i don't like the stuff without drums

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Thursday, 17 June 2004 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

standard drum kit, yeah - drummer totally old-school, holds his sticks palms-up & is awesome

emmacleveland was there! I din't know there was other ilx0rs in my area!

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 17 June 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

oh im not in your area. i drove 5 and a half hours. hahah
worth it x34597322350067!

j0hn--i was in jeans and a dark teeshirt. and i was swaying and headbanging in the front.
i hope you were either the hacidic jew or the man in tapered leg jordaches and a fannypack!

p.s. the decemberists < amt
you must have been on heavy drugs to make that choice. haha

d000000000d

amt in baltimore ruled. does anybody know anything about the song that tsuyama (bassist) introduced as "a new song"? it had yodeling and was UNBELIEVABLE.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 18 June 2004 05:51 (twenty-two years ago)

god they played that in nc too!
Khoomei!

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Friday, 18 June 2004 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

p.s. the decemberists < amt

oh I know! the people I was hangin' out with wanted to see the decemberists, and we left after two songs. (the long winters were really good though. just not as completely insanely mindblowing as AMT, who had one song that started in 4/4, shifted into 5/4 very subtly, then to 6/4, then back into 5/4...it made me woozy and punchy and delighted)

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

OH FUCKING LORD - RE: THAT VIDEO

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

He was switching grips in the show in Denton, but yeah, he seemed really old school. There's something awesome about a stone-faced drummer with a crew cut playing with AMT.

― dleone (dleone), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah looked completely at ease about being around those crazyasses.
i wish he would have bowed the cymbal with that strange bow that kawabata makoto was using on his guitar.

― emma cleveland (emma cleveland), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Have I told you guys the story about one of the guys, a drummer, who came along on tour with Mong Hang last summer? We got him really drunk & stoned. He said he was in Acid Mothers Temple, or had played with them or knew them or something. His English wasn't very good. Nice guy though!

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

man, the between-song music last night was great, too.
can - soundtracks
oneida - secret wars
(something else i know but couldnt place)
miles davis - live/evil

if only the third one had been master of reality, it would have actually been the best concert of all time.

psychic paramount was good, too. their last song was close enough to sabbath, real drony over a super-heavy riff. its just tough to remember that the first two bands were pretty good when AMT were just so incredible. EACH of those guys is amazing at their instruments. theyre so individually good, that the really amazing thing i think is how well they gel. kawabata did this thing where, at the end of a song, he hung his feedingback guitar on one of the overhead speakers and left. right before he did that was just the most blistering 5 minutes of guitar attack ive ever heard or seen. all of a sudden, shred made sense to me, but this guy wasnt just shredding...

anyway, suffice it to say - i was a fan before, but now im hooked.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Ian, he had an amazing cell phone

― Jon Williams!!!!! (ROFFLE!@!@!@) (ex machina), Friday, 18 June 2004 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, Mong Hang's drummer Atsushi Tanaka played with AMT.

btw, Psychic Paramount features two former members of the defunct Laddio Bolocko, and they used to have a diff drummer than the one I saw with them at this show. I got a CDR of theirs a while back from the same label that issued the LB 2-CD compilation, and it was pretty good.

― dleone (dleone), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

I revive this admittedly old tour thread because there's supposed to be a new tour next month, but Stormy Records off in Michigan just sent this:

the acid mothers show has been cancelled. some kind of visa problem.
sorry guys!

They were talking about their own in-store but it sounds like the whole tour is off? I tried going to acidmothers.com but it says 'no website is configured at this address'...

aw fuck

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

i bought my ticket already - i guess black dice and growing might have to suffice.
