chilli Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 some more informationSix Organs of Admittance is basically just one man (but what a man!) - Ben Chasny, along with whomever he ropes in for recording or for shows.* *And he's got a big pool of musicians to choose from: Ben also plays in Comets On Fire, tours in Bonnie Prince Billy's band, has collaborated with Current 93 and Magik Markers.... the list goes on. This man-band started in 1997 when Ben self- released his first LP in an edition of 400, little dreaming that one day Six Organs of Admittance would sell 37 times as many records. It was just something that was destined to happen - but that was the beginning of the happening.* Since then he's squeezed in a lot of heart-stoppingly good shows (anyone who saw him support Joanna Newsom at Glasgow's Grand Ole Opry can testify to that) as well as released a multitude of albums good enough to eat.* The much-abused singer-songwriter genre, where any fella with a guitar can call himself a deep and meaningful musician is put to shame by this singer songwriter who means something deep and has the brains and the balls and the tricks and the talent to be truly experimental as well."Six Organs most beautifully conceived and ambitiously extended work to date".* Wire magazine*on recent album School Of The Flower."Whether youre a newcomer to Chasnys sublime psychedelic folk or were a fan from the get-go and own all the limited editon vinyl, no one could possibly be disappointed with this album." Amazon.com on recent album School Of The Flower."It's essentially easy listening for uneasy people..... hugely rewarding."

-matthEw- Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 missed alan the other cynics, but six organs of admittance were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mora-Treat-Guru Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Really enjoyed the Kitchen Cynics, the added strings provided a real sinister edge to some of the songs.Blinding set from Six Organs, who would have thought the woman from Magik Markers could sing so tunefully? I only wish it went on for a bit longer, I was begining to trance out, in a good way then they stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 What was up with the atmosphere though? It was horribly tense, when Eliza from Magik Markers was rawking out it felt like someone's grandchild was playing metal at an old folk's home! Awkward to the max. The sound was pretty rubbish, too, guitars needed to be way louder!AND two people fucking wolf whistled as Eliza came back on for the encore! That aside, was good to see Six Organs in Aberdeen, long may shows like this happen, etc (only next time downstairs hopefully?)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 The Kitchen Cynics were incredible. The sound for them was brilliant, which is kind of important for what they do.As Mr. Scott said, the atmosphere did seem a bit awkward for Six Organs. I felt Ben's guitar was loud enough but Eliza's was waaaay too low, but I think that was maybe as much to do with her individual set-up and amp/lead/connection problems. She seemed to struggle to get what she wanted out of it several times.I loved it when she rocked out though. Totally care-free of her surroundings.

The seating thing was far too tense. I still enjoyed it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
