offramp Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 interesting music promotions present:VIKING MOSES + KHAR LEONG + MORGANS ORANGE + GEORGE THOMASFriday 6th April 2007Room 2 @ The Tunnels, Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen, AB10 1BF. (01224) 211121Doors 7.30pm / First Band 8.00pm / Finish 10.30pm / Entry 5www.thetunnels.co.ukwww.myspace.com/interestingmusicVIKING MOSESMany balls-to-the-wall musicians adopt a bohemian persona to fit their music, but Viking Moses is the real deal. Living a nomadic life for nearly a decade now, Brendon Massei has released banjo and acoustic guitar albums under several names. Perpetually on tour (since 1996), he has played with Will Oldham, Cat Power, Songs: Ohia, Akron/Family and Devendra Banhart, to name a few, yet Masseis body of work has received little commercial or critical attention. His last full-length under the Viking Moses moniker, the story-song cycle Crosses (released in 2006 on Poptones), is by far his most accomplished work, and ranks among the best of the newest crop of American anti / electro / folk recordings. Fresh from playing at Death Disco in Budapest with Alan McGee and Stuart Braithwaite, this tour will see Brendon showcase his new EP Swollen & Small The Songs Of Neutral Milk Hotel released April 2nd on Fire Records. Yeah, you heard, NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL!! Next stop: Fence Records Homegame.Wonderfully out there stuff from a truly special, truly one-off solo artist. (Drowned In Sound)Check out this very cool short filmwww.pulsefilms.co.uk/vid/daryl/vikingepk.htmlAnd tunes and stuffwww.myspace.com/vikingmoseswww.vikingmoses.tkwww.poptones.co.uk/index.php?/bands/C19/www.firerecords.comKHAR LEONGKhar Leong is the solo project of Sandy Galloway, a singer and guitarist who has played with The Microphones, The Needles and Electric Tibet. Influenced by Wilco, Arthur Russell, Angelo Badelamenti and Roy Orbison. (That's all Sandy gave me - he's very modest. We think he's amazing.)www.myspace.com/kharleongMORGANS ORANGEPart of the Viking Moses touring band - Morgans Orange climbs from the throat of Ronn Benway, concentrating on the balance between monkeys & bees, fruits & vegetables and what is and can be. Turtles, transients and time all echo through the music's bitter candy shell. Morgans Orange is now touring the world, bringing songs from his 5 underground albums and the forthcoming release on Natrix Natrix Records.www.myspace.com/morgansorangeGEORGE THOMASAnother cog in the Viking Moses machine. We have no idea what he's going to do. I did ask though.www.myspace.com/georgethomasandtheowls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
