no 'bone or other horn
mister craig can you confirm there was no singing? i was pretty out of it at that point. and the first night i was convinced mbv weren't singing until someone made me actually look at their mouths

"dude on the 'bone" @ Pitchfork = Jeb Bishop, he of Vandermark's groups, solo work, and just all around bad-ass on that thing. Yeah, that was a great set, actually the first time I had even heard a note of BBML! I became an immediate fan, went out and bought all the records. I actually DO NOT remember it as a one-note affair at all. I mean, the songs were LOOOONG, they jammed (and yeah, they were totally stoned), but they certainly transitioned between certain tracks on that s/t Matador LP. Awesome set.
I actually talked to Jeb at some point last year after that set, and he said it was all improvised, he hadn't practiced with them at all. Not that that'd be too hard for a master like him, it's essentially two-chord vamps .. still cool that he just kinda got up there last minute and jammed with them
Saw them last year at the Hideout touring 'Motion to Rejoin' and this time *I* was the stoned one, so have vague / weird memories of the night. But i'm positive that it was rad.

it seems that nathan and rachel have broken up? and he's replaced her.
On the eve of Brightblack Morning Light’s first Australian tour, founder Nathan Shineywater has announced that this will be the last Brightblack Morning Light tour and the debut of his new musical identity, Berry Shadows.
The new project Berry Shadows finds our man Shineywater deep in “freak” exploration and psychedelic spirit anthems. The first unofficial Berry Shadows shows took place in 2009 in San Francisco and Humboldt County, California, opening for Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Berry Shadows will soon be working and recording with Hope Sandoval; look out for a collaborative release between Mistletone Records and Hearted Hand Limited.
Brightblack Morning Light (formerly known as Brightblack and previously, rainYwood, and now moving towards the new incarnation of Berry Shadows) is a band based in New Mexico, specialising in permutations of folk rock and psychedelic music; the work of ND Shineywater and an ever-changing & rotating touring party of old friends & new friends who enjoy what they do. Recording their debut in 2005 for Matador Records, Brightblack Morning Light toured with Os Mutantes, Vashti Bunyan and Joanna Newsom, and more recently with My Bloody Valentine and Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Their slow-motion, blissed out, shamanistic music is unforgettable and hypnotic: think lush, sensual, woozy soundscapes tinged with soul, blues, gospel and other southern sounds harking back to Shineywater’s Alabama roots.
For this tour Brightblack Morning Light will consist of Shineywater with accompanist Danielle Stech-Homsy (keyboards/vocals) who will also perform a solo set as Rio en Medio.

Yet, after two Brightblack Morning Light albums – their eponymous 2006 debut and 2008’s excellent aural opiate, Motion to Rejoin, the latter recorded using power from just four solar panels – Shineywater is retiring BBML. His new magic carpet is called Berry Shadows, featuring recording guests including Hope Sandoval. So this tour will be the last outing for BBML and minus the co-founder, Rachael Hughes. Instead Shineywater and his flotilla of souped-up vintage keyboards will be joined by accompanist Danielle Stech-Homsy (aka Rio en Medio) and Sioux percussionist, Cannupa.
”Rachael is not jammin’ much any more,” Shineywater says. ”She was on the road for, like, eight years and she decided it was time to hang out with her family in New Orleans for a while and I thought that was groovy. I’ve been staying on the road ’cause I keep getting invited to do things.”

these guys have the illest rhythm sections

I played a show with these guys last year in which Nathan rigged an artificial tree with mics and metal sheets that he banged with a mallet. The sound guys hated him, but damn did it sound cool.

i was actually looking for double-confirmation. somewhere upthread it's mentioned that the band broke-up (no hard feelings, it seems: one member looks like she retired; the other member looks like he has a new band).

seriously gershy your insistence that everyone on ilx is either a sock or had some previous persona is really bizarre & just an extreme level of paranoia that i wouldn't necessarily call "healthy"
