Jamie Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 anyone know if this is sold out yet? Can I order online? Cos I am lazyI know!It's not sold out' date=' and you can book on-line via the Triptych site [url']www.triptychfestival.comTriptych 06: Arab Strap/Kieran Hebden (Fourtet) & Steve Reid: Bill Wells &Tape/My Latest Novel/Aidan John Moffat Sunday 30 AprilThe Lemon TreeTickets 14 + 1.50 b/fee Box Office: 01224 642230Doors 7pmCafe7pm - 40pm: DJ Nudge7.40pm - 8.20pm: MY LATEST NOVEL9pm - 10pm: KEIREN HEBDEN & STEVE REID11pm - 12am: ARAB STRAPStudio8pm: doors8.25pm - 8.55pm: AIDAN JOHN MOFFAT10.10pm - 10.55pm: TAPE WITH BILL WELLSArab StrapFalkirk's resplendent drone-poets and bedroom-bards Arab Strap are a beautiful, lyrical, woebegone duo whose barren psalms and candid narratives have rendered them one of Scotland's most critical bands. The deuce assure surprises at this year's Triptych: they'll curate a day of japes in Aberdeen which will include special performances from Four Tet, Steve Reid, Bill Wells, Tape - plus an exclusive, spoken-word recital from one "Aidan John Moffat".Also lauded solo artists, crushing versifier Aidan Moffat makes cenotaphs of beauty as L. Pierre, while devastating melodist Malcolm Middleton's Into the Woods was one of the finest albums of last year. Yet the Strap remain very much intact - as their current album, The Last Romance, certifies: it conveys the singular, innovative blueprint of a band who trouble hearts and tremble feet with their tender eulogies and tragi-disco beats.Kieran Hebden and Steve ReidIn electronic music's Olympian dominion, Kieran Hebden vaulted the highest bar; raised it above the stars; cleared it again. London's Hebden - aka contempo artisan Four Tet - runs rings around his stellar contemporaries with an unparalleled palette of hip-hop and techno; drum loops and birdsong; gentle funk and grizzly beats; obscure folk and neo-classical sweeps: as best evinced on 2003's Rounds album, and last year's follow up, Everything Ecstatic (Domino). It's his work with legendary drummer Steve Reid, however, which is currently rousing startled remark: their 2005 Spirit Jazz collaboration (Soul Jazz), and this year's Exchange Sessions Vol. 1 (Domino) testifies to a vital collaborative effort, and it's Reid with whom Hebden - a long-term Triptych comrade - is set to perform this year.Bill WellsA brilliant local jazz-agitator variously described as "Stirling's answer to Sun Ra" and "a Zen-like commander of vibrant psalms", groove alchemist Bill Wells' lavish, life-affirming art traverses dexterous avant-garde improvisation and soaring, cinematic awe. He's recorded for the Geographic imprint; performed with the likes of Will Oldham and Jens Lekman; collaborated with Isobel Campbell, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Future Pilot AKA - and is set to further confound sonic boundaries and enchant music fans when he joins technoid Swedish dreamboats Tape onstage, (at the fevered behest of Arab Strap), for a special one-off Triptych performance in Aberdeen.TapeEvoking divergent and fted names like Gastr del Sol, Talk Talk, John Fahey, Faust and Fennesz, dreamy Swedish trio Tape smudge the margins between bucolic and electric; between devised and improvised; between day and night. The triumvirate - Stockholm's Andreas Berthling, Johan Berthling and Tomas Hallonsten - infuse technological and rural doctrines to striking effect. Armed with an amorous, nigh-infinite arsenal of field recordings, concrete sounds, banjos, vibraphones, synths, Chinese flutes - and countless other aural accoutrements - the three-piece mine a fertile seam indeed. Tape's second and most recent album, Milieu (Hapna), forages and forges this organic and electronic integration - it's an experimental, gentle treatise whose impressive, impressionistic, gauzy melodies are at once human and mechanical; measured and spontaneous; dark and light.My Latest NovelA soaring, melodious Greenock troupe, My Latest Novel's beat-infused,string-enthused erudite pop fayre is refined and arousing in equalmeasure.Signed to stellar collective Bella Union, (the label presided by theCocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde, which charts the Dirty Three and LauraVeirs across its glittering sky), My Latest Novel are a gloriousrabble whose literary designate underpins a bookish predilection forerudite lines and rascally wordplay.With a debut album, Wolves, fresh from the press, MLN's sing-a-long,string-drawn happy cantatas swirl like lullabies, sleigh-rides,indie-pop paradise.Live, they peddle giddy, sweet chorales: they're a boho assemblagewith bountiful charmshttp://www.lemontree.org/Music/event.cfm?eventid=2844&tempmonth=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trippinoneastereggs Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 what is the point in going to a gig, standing right down the front and spending all your time screaming at the top of your voice to your mate about something fucking banal?I dont mind folk talking, like, maybe a whisper, but at the top of their voices during the quiet bits of songs.Other than that and a bouncer invading my personal space checking for anyone using a camera, this was a fucking amazing gig.The Strap were on form, much better than the last time I saw them, Bill Wells and Tape were amazing, while Keiron Hebdom and Steve Reid blew me right out of the building. I even enjoyed My Latest Novel this time around and the spoken word stuff was nice and intimate.Wooo. I have regained my faith in Arab Strap.

stuartmaxwell Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 TAPE and BW was awesomearab strap were much better than i expected them to be, new birds+who named the days were great!KH and SR was awesome at times, but i think the transition between each score was pretty poor. when KH was mixing the low end stuff it sounded huge. enjoyed it a lot, maybe went on a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcadian Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Other than that and a bouncer invading my personal space checking for anyone using a camera' date=' this was a fucking amazing gig.[/quote']That sounds a bit pish about the bouncer, why were they doing it, and are they even allowed to?

Larsen B Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Arab Strap were much better than at Tunnels, Aidan's poetry was worthwhile for a chortle, what i caught of My Latests Novel i enjoyed, Kieran whats-his-name and Steve Reid had it's moments, but mostly my mind was miles away and the consistently spalshy drumming grated, and i didn't have the patience for Tapes and Bill Wells.

Shame it affected your enjoyment of the gig - some acts and TMs are ok with photos being taken, but that wasn't the case for this show.

trippinoneastereggs Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 For the record I wasn't taking photos, she was just standing next to me peering into the rest of the crowd, I assumed that's what she was looking for cause I saw her stop a couple of people from taking photos earlier.Brilliant gig though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
