Anni Rossi + Rollin Hunt + The Family Simpson @ Peacock Visuals Arts, 27 Jan
interesting music promotions present:
ANNI ROSSI + ROLLIN HUNT + THE FAMILY SIMPSON Sunday 27th January 2008 Peacock Visual Arts, 21 Castle Street, Aberdeen. AB10 5BQ Doors 8.00pm Entry £5 http://www.peacockvisualarts.com http://www.myspace.com/interestingmusic   ANNI ROSSI A foot stompin', viola playing force of nature... Anni Rossi is a startlingly fresh musician from Illinois who has been leaving audiences agog with her unique blend of classical virtuosity, ramshackle percussion and vocal acrobatics. Her songs are alive with possibility and she has that Greenwich Village class via East European barn dance mixed with unkempt singer/songwriter allure all in bundles. Laying viola and singing simultaneously (no looping pedals here!) she stamps and caterwauls herself into a frenzy. Like Beirut, Final Fantasy or Karen Dalton she seems to have come from nowhere and hit upon a sound that is idiosyncratic, uncontrived and wholly adorable. Performances at Homefires Festival and Venn, plus supporting Electrelane on their final European tour helped spread her live reputation further. Now she releases her debut 7" on Too Pure (home of Scout Niblett, Electrelane ) to coincide with this tour, and releases an album shortly after. http://www.myspace.com/annirossi http://www.toopure.com ROLLIN HUNT The magic of singer/songwriter Rollin Hunt is how he works with what he's got. Watching him play, backed by his ramshackle band, you sense the chasm between the pop songs he dreams and his delivery -- and his willingness to broach the space regardless of how awkward it may be -- is a winning proposition. Where Hunt arrives with his songs seems like a wholly earnest accident; his voice is pubescent and unstable, but he manages to eke out some soul, despite a slight speech impediment. Stylistically, he hews to classic '60 pop form -- as if someone was trying to imitate The Shangri-La's or The Ronettes but only knew them from a thirdhand description -- it's all unearthly shoo-be-do, horns and melancholy. Except the songs aren't about love, they're hallucinatory narratives about watching your neighbors make out in their window, distributing a pamphlet about yourself so you can be understood, or antelopes. Hunt has only played a handful of shows, but he's already on his way to becoming a local legend. [The Chicago Tribune] http://www.myspace.com/rollinhunt THE FAMILY SIMPSON The Family Simpson sometimes sound as beautiful as lemonade soaking through a summer dress. at other times they sound like a kettle being thrown around in a fridge. This singer/songwriter based in Aberdeen, Scotland, influenced by postcard moments, creates brief forays examining emotions and situations from a variety of viewpoints using his voice, loop pedal and variety of lofi instruments. http://www.myspace.com/thefamilysimpson http://lofimusic.co.uk
