the band CAVE

yeah they were very tight, the rhythm section in general is sick. i hadn't seen them in a few years, i was surprised that dude who used to pretty much only play keys was now pretty much only playing guitar. he's a good guitarist but i missed the keys tbh, my fave song live had him on keys and the "secret weapon" on flute. the flute playing was great bc he wasn't doing jazz solos or whatever, he was doubling the keyboard part and it sounded amazing.

new video btw http://www.thefader.com/2013/09/24/video-cave-shikaakwa/

lol i think that's the track i was just talking about with the flute.

cave cruise! http://t.co/oLVJYPPLzK

new album is dope

Ha. La Lechera, I dj'd that gig in absentia. Cooper just used a bunch of mix tapes i've made for him over the years for the incidental music.

Two different dudes.

They played in town on Halloween. I got to sing a cover of "Sister Ray" with them at the end of the set. Lots of fun.

that sounds awesome -- where's the youtube?

I don't even have a photo!
I was wearing a pink blouse, blue shades, and a blonde wig.

Ugh that sounds SO FUN!! Did you sing the whole thing?! man that sounds like fun.

All I remember from your mix was Bohannon but it was enjoyable!

We didn't play it for twenty minutes. I sang maybe three verses and improvised a "freakout" that climaxed with repetition of the phrase "don't shake me, lucifer." We were going to cover a Roky Erickson song but current events changed our original plan.

'silver headband' on the new one is so sick. not many can evoke the neu! vibe without resorting to a generic motorik beat. agree with tyler on the rest of it pulling serious fusion moves.

they're playing a reunion(?) show on new years

recent interview with cooper crain said there'd be a new Cave album out this year ... but I haven't heard anything else.
Cave drummer is playing with Nathan Bowles now ... http://www.nyctaper.com/2017/10/nathan-bowles-trio-september-8-2017-three-lobed-wxdu-hopscotch-afternoon-jamboree-raleigh-nc/

an erstwhile ilxor is DJing!

i am thinking about going
wondered what happened to their drummer -- who's playing if it's not that guy?

haha yeah i just noticed trip maker in this thread!

i had heard the reason cave hadn't been playing shows was cuz the drummer had moved. but your guess is as good as mine whether or not he'll be playing new years. i hope he is, though

ha yeah, i hope that they're making a long distance relationship work — Cave w/o that drummer seems a little pointless.

i thought BBs were CAVE w/o that drummer
;)

i am just wondering which local drummer would be his repacement -- an unknown? one of the many excellent known drummers in Chicago?
