For sure, there are way too many dudes in these bands. I was surprised by the ratio of women at the Garcia Peoples show I saw at Schuba's, but it would be great to see that reflected in the band line-ups. It's interesting that a lot of the women that do overlap with this scene (Kendra Amalie, Sarah Louise), primarily pursue their own solo projects.
Also, La Lechera otm with Garcia People's vocals, def a weak link.

in general vocals ain't exactly the best feature of any bands in this zoneBaird is great, she sounds should be the lead singer of all these bands

What happened to Heron Oblivion? She was singing and drumming in that band. When I saw them, I was not disappointed or bored and her presence and energy really did change the dynamics of this particular type of rock music.

don't know actually!on the latest Forsyth he has a vocal by Rosali (her album Trouble Anyway is great but but really this scene) anyway, it sounded so good over his stufflove the guy but his singing is not great

Last I heard of Heron Oblivion was a set NYC Taper shared from December of 2018, that was pretty heavily loaded with "new" material. I've been hoping that means a second official album, but I haven't heard anything lately. That self-titled record was fantastic.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 15:07 (three years ago) link
think there's a new heron oblivion in the works, new meg baird solo album as well ... she kinda goes at her own pace, haha.

Probably of interest to some of the folks in this thread, Aquarium Drunkard has put together a 44-track digital comp to raise money for Australian brushfire relief. Includes MV & EE, Dire Wolves, Hans Chew, Nathan Salsburg, Elkhorn, Starbirthed, Sarah Louise and many, many others.

LL if you're cooling yr heels waiting for a new Heron Oblivion album you might enjoy this Major Stars album from last year that's got similar vibes (though I think Wayne Roger's p easily outclasses the Comets guys, which is fine though bcz as cool as much as I like Noell Dorsey she's no Meg)
Anyways ahemhttp://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kRqnadeeODjA4nu5Ort8I3ZRDTW_yvBvA

major stars is a good call. no dead influence there, more like if MC5 was a jam band. all the magic hour stuff is worth it too ...
― tylerw, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:38 (three years ago) link
yeah i am enjoying Major Stars! that is the type of energy i am after at the moment -- thanks!!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link
they're super gnarly!
I like Major Starts, but I totally spaced on their record from last year. Need to check that out!
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:58 (three years ago) link
Stars obviously, oops.
La Lechera, should be noted that Kryssi Battalene is the main guitar-wrangler in Mountain Movers and Headroom (mentioned above), who bring some nice Heroin Oblivion/Major Stars adjacent sonics, though directly. She is great, pretty partial to this one: https://headroomnhv.bandcamp.com/album/head-in-the-clouds
She also has a cool Black Dirt / Natch session as "Earth Cult" with Sarah Louise and Sally Ann Morgan (of House & Land) that I am into: https://blackdirt.bandcamp.com/album/natch-11-earth-cult-sarah-louise-sally-anne-morgan-kryssi-b-2
Sarah Louise has also sat in with Garcia Peoples, and I imagine will do so again down the line. (Completing the circle ....)

as I've said in the Fahey thread (or maybe I didn't) the song "Statesboro Jam" from global tetrahedron's 2020 album is maybe my favorite song of the year so far, certainly within this general sonic world.

yeah we generally did all this stuff on the Fahey thread, which I generally approve of a "big tent" definition of the diaspora esp cuz so many like Forsyth, Ryley Walker come from that scene orginally

Wilco live shows (Nels on Impossible Germany live is the new Dark Star)
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown)
any particular recordings you can recommend, i haven't heard a live version since a radio broadcast from the netherlands in 2011
i am unequipped to really speak on the new jam scene except that i god tried to listen to that song and for the first ten minutes it was mediocre kosmische-jazz and then i got bored and skipped forward and yep that sounds like the dead alright. i guess they're better than the flaming lips.
i'm listening to the eight minute "single" version now. they sound like, i don't know, white denim. they're not bad, but i genuinely think the dead did it better when they were on.
i might be sold on these folks another time.
― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 01:09 (three years ago) link
I actually don't, I have seen them a couple of times in the last 5 years and hadn't seen them for a long time and was kind of blown away by what a good live band they are nowbut I guess they've probably done 200+ shows a year foreverImpossible Germany is I'm pretty sure almost every show and is Nel's showcase

last time he was going off and Tweedy got a laugh just by looking Nels then looking at the crowd and grinning and shaking his head like can u believe this guy?

i know Wilco is not cool but they ultimately have one of the best drummers in the world and one of the best guitar players
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 01:14 (three years ago) link
i know they're not cool too but i have heard them a couple times over the years and i agree with you that they have become a fucking incredible live band, i'd rather listen to them than 75 dollar bill or endless boogie or whoever damn near any day of the week
they still doing "bull black nova"? i kinda liked that one.

haha would that be Reno Shuffle? that's my least favorite one. I love the moment with the vibraslap on the second track.

Dire Wolves is very dynamic rhythmically which gets at something about Garcia Peoples, they are pretty stuff rhythmically without being either cool motorik vibes or cool pummeling caveman Endless Boogie/Crazy Horse the drums and bass are just kinda "there"
