I also thought it was damned sexy music....in a warped, sado-masochistic kind of way. (Not that I know anything about these kind of things).?(

I know what you mean, the sexiness is similar in many ways to Arabic/North African music which oozes sex, but I must say, not in a sado................way. I think you are talking about the sexiness with reference to the brutality of lyrical content, very similar to say Marc Almond/Soft Cell, Nick Cave, The Dirty Three, Cat Power etc whoose output is always dark, brooding & full of sexiness.

Most westernised music I think by and large misses this.

Just watch you don't attract any Football Kasules!

Very droll & clever Mr Cynic, I believe the name Kasule comes from the 1st black

footballer to play in Scotland in the 1920's.

Kasule are proper football fans & support Albion Rovers, their home town team.

excellent support the cause, here's some more PM info

Puerto Muerto was formed in early 1999 by Tim Kelly and Christa Meyer. In its earliest incarnation, they were known as Johnny Deformed. People violently opposed the name, throwing their bodies at the feet of the two members, begging them not to use Johnny Deformed any longer.

As the pair traveled, they wrote and performed for anyone that would have them. Eventually, they decided to be called Puerto Muerto, after an imaginary bar in Tim's mind. The duo moved to Chicago in the fall of 1999 to make friends and play music for appreciative throngs of people. The have many influences, including such artists as THE KINKS, CHARLES MINGUS, KURT WEILL, THE CLASH, and so on. People have compared their music to LEONARD COHEN, THE MEKONS and EDITH PIAF. They live with a dog named Lenya. She is developmentally disabled. Puerto Muerto has been picked up by Fire Records of London which has released Elena, Your Bloated Corpse Has Washed Ashore and a new one called See You In Hell (which has an amazing looking cover).

Agreed, Chilli! The Lemon Tree gig was a memorable night. Puerto Muerto managed to be dark, amusing, aggressive, gentle and downright weird all in one set. I even bought one of their CDs. Seeing them at close quarters in Drakes will be awesome.

Your description of their LT show last year is very perceptive & accurate. Like u,

I think the intimate nature of Dr Drakes will enhance their performace, if thats possible.

A very exciting prospect me thinks.

featuring

Puerto Muerto

+ special guests

Desc

Puerto Muerto

Fucked-up alt.country, which cuts Kurt Weill with Tom Waits

and the Handsome Family, mixing mazurkas with sea shanties,

polskas with noir-ish, cinematic sweeps and Spanish folk with

post punky fury as it goes. Marvelous, mad and mordacious stuff.

See them live a totally fantastic experience. One of their songs

The Hangman's Song was used on the blockbuster film Dawn of the Dead.

Desc

Formerly known as Khaya, who recorded three albums records and

recorded two sessions for John Peel. Out of theses ashes, Desc have formed

& are inspired by many things but to put their songs into context they have

been said to sound like an acoustic Sonic Youth or Ennio Morricone on speed.

Another Interesting Music night of eclectica................

I think Graeme plays Kasule at every available opportunity, doesn't he?

Aye he does & this git always ends up on the floor strutting me stuff

The track Christie is very danceable...............

Originally posted by ragudave:

just realised that this gig was not on the last Int Music flyer I got

yes thats right, just like the Thomas Truax event this is a late booking, weve

decided just to put this gig out by word of mouth. Believe the hype from those that

saw Puerto Muerto last time, thet were pretty damn fantastic, believe the description I

put out for them above.

They are a very SPECIAL live act, come see.

Another brilliant Drakes night in prospect then. Maybe if I took a sleeping bag Jim & Sharon would let me move in, seeing as I'm there so often. (I'd try not to fart a lot during the night)

Aye & get there sharpish coz its going to start sharp 8.30pm.

Just a thought if you sleep over from the fantastic Puerto Muerto on Monday night,

you can guarantee your early open mic appearance on Tuesday.

pleb

i think there should be a minimum age to post on Aberdeen music, say 16 or maybe thats pushing it a bit in the case of junior pink grease admirer.

Mr Cynic, u were @ NN9, GS & Future PIlot, which was part of Triptych

The Mute night was a brave attempt @ doing something innovative @ the LT,

ie an upstairs downstairs leftfield night, however for me it just didn't gel, Wire & Pan Sonic were fine, but just too throbby at times, Pink Grease were a joke, Liars were influenced by too much Birhday Party but were okay, Irmin Schmidt not playing live was poor, T Raumschmiere being ill was a miss. the much maligned Komputer (window tinkles aside) were okay & Tim Wright's set which most people missed was excellent.

5/10

Trans Am just wonderful, where was everybody?

9.5/10

Tigerbeat 6 Night

1st two acts okay, main two urghhhh too late for this old chap, Kid 606 drill & bass

far-too intense. Dav'e Kung Fu arm dancing was a delight.

3/10

NN9, GS & Future Pilot

FP shambolic, disjointed & full of loveliness, GS lots of variety, NN9

three or 4 songs of genuine class, not enough meshy trademark guitars,

set too short

6/10

Space is the Place

turned up @ 5 delay for 1.5hours, directors cut not available, went home

a big dissapointment

0/10

Moog night

shambolic but likeable old people

triptych this year

ps Paragon Ensemble tonight will be special, be there...

Trans Am were magnificent & by far my favourite live artist in Triptych.
