lowball Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 a rare saturday night at the tunnels for imp, but this line up will be rather fine:-Pit er Pat (Thrill Jockey)Quack Quack&Fulborn Teversham are the mindblowing new group of Seb Rochford, the extraordinarily in-demand and prolific drummer/composer. The line-up also includes Pete Wareham (Acoustic Ladyland, Polar Bear) on saxophone, Nick Ramm (Cinematic Orchestra, Clown Revisted) on keyboards, and vocalist Alice Grant (also with Leafcutter John). The group pursues a more eclectic, less overtly jazz direction than Polar Bear, incorporating elements of electronica, Henry Cow-style prog and post punk. With clever balancing of cosmic and acoustic sounds, Fulborn Teversham offer up an intimate and thrilling futuristic improvisational post-jazz, post-punk chamber music. Their debut album, 'Count Herbert II' is available now from Pickled Egg.that looks great & the fulborn T track sounds sounds pretty wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Quack Quack were pretty darn great, glad I decided to pop along after practice despite high level of tiredness. A bizarre concoction of varying styles but it all hung together to make a very satisfying whole. Through the set there were parts that brought to mind Kraftwerk, Tortoise, Inspiral Carpets(???), Sunburned Hand Of The Man, Comets On Fire and some bizarre Arabic influenced post rock tune. And the occasional double drum kit action was immense. As if the drummer wasn't immense enough anyway. And the CD I bought is ace too. Nice one IMP folks.Yeah, great show - magic to see and hear extremely talented musicians using their skills in a very unflashy way where the overall sound was far more important to them than showing that they could do techincally difficult stuff as individuals (they did bring Acoustic Ladyland to mind in that respect), and the double drumming was indeed immense. I heartily recommend catching Quack Quack's next show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I would have gone to this had Ratatat not been kicking out the jams in a friend's living room. I heard good things, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
