I agree diversity is great, however I draw the line at going to things that are musically
bangkrupt & genarally put on to "balance the books" far too often. I suppose we cant have Mute nights very often, got to keep the faithful mean & keen.
Went to see Yo la Tengo & Gorky's a couple of weeks ago @ The Usher Hall
must have been the quietest gig i have ever attended. The central belt has
pigged-out on variety for too long & got complacent with choice. All I ask for
is better quality music that challenges the public in Aberdeen.

interesting music

who runs "interesting music promotions" ?!?the same people who have put on Ballboy, Soulo, Schneider TM, Christ, Twine, Craig B (acoustic) Kathryn Sawer (twice), Monica Queen & local musicworthy supports.
Tomorrow (WED) at Drummonds we have Thomas Truax (NY anti folk visualist) Desc (formerly Khaya) & local legend Kitchen Cynics. This is well advertised in record shops & elsewhere on the Aberdeen Music website.
Look out for our newsletter featuring forthcoming events which feature artists in the electronic, improv, genuinely strange & sometimes genuinely straight music fields.
ie music that is interesting, challenging & we'd pay to hear ourselves

aye tribute to nothing,
how can the LT go from putting on the best night in its history ie the Mute night
on thursday 28th April 2004 down to a darkness tribute band. i'm exasperated by the inconsistency.

.......booking we are chuffed to accomodate, especially having caught
Desc as a manic two piece in lava a couple of years ago. Thomas Truax
live shows are a combination of spectacular visual & musical virtuoso.
To start our evenings entertainment Kitchen Cynics the ledgendary figure
&permanent fixture on WMFU playlist will delight those who care to listen.

Drummonds Belmont Street
Doors 8pm
fee 5
Desc members dan, john and pete had been playing together
for five years as members of KHAYA. They recorded three albums
for sl records and recorded two sessions for John Peel. They gained
a reputation as "sonic alchemists with pop magic" dancing from their
fingertips" (NME). desc released their first album 'up here in the heat'
on sl records in march 2002 to critical bewilderment. 'up here in the heat'
was intended to be minimal and dark, a skeleton. they spent a year
carefully removing all nnecessary parts, leaving the raw wires exposed.
After the release of 'up here in the heat' they played tours in holland and
the uk. They recorded four songs for an exhibition of photographic works
by helena macgilp and also the soundtrack for a short film, 'Heel' by b-list
productions, to be shown at the edinburgh film festival. desc 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". their new
cd is called "4 songs by desc" and is a limited edition ep, released on the
26th may on sl records
desc are : dan mutch - guitar/vocals
helena macgilp - violin/vocals
john mackie - bass
pete harvey - cello
alun thomas - drums/percusion/vocals

Thomas Truax
Thomas Truax (pronounced troo-aks) is a New York City based anti folk
singer/songwriter and multi-media artist who performs with mechanical sound
sculptures like his Cadillac Beatspinner Wheel and instruments which he
builds himself out of found objects and spare parts (such as the Hornicator),
as well as with more standard gear like guitars and toy piano. He is an illegitimate
son of Screamin' Jay Hawkins and a mad scientist of experimental music with a
history as a stop-motion animator. His carefully crafted songs range from dark,
romantic lullabies to lively rock melodramas. His 'Wowtown News' radio show
airs on Resonance FM in London.
a scary website for your amusement..........
Kitchen Cynics
Local musician, prolific writer of amusement, combining ancient folk roots with lo-fi
psychedelic aesthetic, that effectively blurs the line between Syd Barrett & Pearls Before Swine.
Look out for the Interesting Music news-sheet at this gig, for forthcoming
eclectica....
Next date for your diary Friday 2nd April .....

Probably Aberdeen's finest live band, supported by two of sl records up &
coming starlets, trying to knock Ballboy off their pedestal.

YLT/ Black Eyed Snakes
just away to see YLT/Gorkys @ the marvellous Usher Hall & we are all very excited.
Interesting Music tried to get Alan Sparhawk's other band to Drakes Aberdeen on this their 1st european tour but the furthest north they are coming is Glasgow (sleazies i think, then over to Eire). A band not for the faint hearted or squeamish
my new house

Deadloss were exceedingly funny tween coughing bouts, cigs etc & the man in the wooly hat can sing a bit.....
Kathryn was just fantastic.... as always
Craig B was simply the business, proving that behind the wall of sound that he can sing a bit & hold the attention
all in all i think the balance was really really good
cheers to all who turned up & LISTENED
More excellence from Interesting Music coming very soon

Anyone off to see them tomorrow night in Glasgow?
Double A side of a gig with Gorky's Zygotic Minci so should be pretty good, although I must admit I'm only going for YLT.
We are shooting down to Edinburgh to see them on Wednesday night @ The Usher Hall. Missed them last July, but with the wonderful Gorky's will make up for it.
YLT are on the UP hitlist, but we missed out this time?

tonight
& his soundscheck sounded fantastic

i'm not lifting in the sofa as well as Kathryn's bloody heavy piano.
i have limits to promotional activities.......

Kathryn is playing this Sunday night
I'm sorry to say that some of the juvenile comments about the Kathryn Sawers should be ingnored. This probably comes from the same people who go to gigs and talk all the way through them & can't possibly judge. "Her music beautifully complemented the darker side of The Delgados" quote Emma Pollok.
Kathryn Sawers is a remakable talent, her music ain't easy, but challenges the listener, beware her stare.............
Come & see this outstanding line up @ Dr Drakes this Sunday night & make your own mind up, u won't be disappointed
Craig B of Aereogramme solo & acoustic for the 1st time in Aberdeen
Kathryn Sawers solo & piano
Deadloss Superstar acoustic & settee
