The history of Thrill Jockey

I think a few of the CAVE guys will be part of Man Forever for this set.
The thing about MF is that Kid just recruits people blindly for the performances and sometimes the players get what he is going for and sometimes they don't. The sets used to be all drummers, too, and I think that those performances edged into the "pummeling" zone a lot more than the ensemble thing he's doing now.

But Cooper and Dan and Rex have performed with him multiple times, so if they are in the lineup it will be rehearsed.

Oh man, I knew that there was a rotating cast but I did not know that it might rotate in that direction. What good news!

Yeah, when I saw them it was members of Pelt and a bass player that has played with Kid/MF a number of times. They TOTALLY got it and it was a joy to behold (it would shift from vaguely menacing to euphoric to heavy just by the shifting of a couple notes by the non-drummers).

Here's something like an orientation video for possible members of Man Forever, which gives a pretty good sense of what he's going for. It's a little long but I found it fascinating/entertaining.

So...did anyone get in? I sure didn't. I was super disappointed/pissy at first, but it faded.

btw i was there before 8, but still no luck
O WELL

Yuck, I kinda wondered about that. Seemed like too good a show to be both free and easy to get into. Guess I made a solid call on a number of levels.
