Sector 7G, Kristoff Krane & Abzorbr opened Eyedea & Abilities first hometown show in 5 years.

This show was packed and just plain crazy. I got there a little past 9pm and the line was down the block towards Snelling. I haven't seen anything like it at the Turf Club since the July 07 Doomtree show. This show was lots of fun from time Secto7G went on until 2AM came around. Lots of intoxication. Lots of mic stand protection.

THE NEW EYEDEA & ABILITIES RECORD IS DONE. The new Abzorbr material sounds great. Don't miss the exclusive dial_system jam either.

Chris is a friend but that's not why I would recommend people check out his debut solo record. Check it out because it's a stellar album from start to finish. Both sets are unique in vibe and feeling. The AA set features a very attentive younger crowd whereas the Late set features folks drinking and getting lose. Chris also recently published his first book entitled the "The Other" which I purchased a copy of the other night and am looking forward to reading.

Early Show:
Mr. Dufax - intelligently crafted electronic music.
Students set - Chris had a bunch of his students come up to perform their own songs.
dial_system - Casey & Graham O' Brien - improvised electronic music with bass, drums and laptop.
Oliver Hart acoustic set - Micheal Eyedea Oliver Hart Larsen on acoustic guitar, keyboards and vocals.
Kristoff Krane - you know, that one guy.

Late Show:
Mr. Dufax
Hyder Ali - This band is amazing and I hope to torrent the set soon.

Eyedea, Crescent Moon (Kill the Vultures/Roma di Luna), Carnage (all over the place), Saturday Morning Soundtrack: Impulse (Sector7G), Ecid (Fill in the Breaks) & Capaciti, Casey & Graham O' Brien (Abzorbr/dial_system), Adam Linz & Michael Lewis (Fat Kid Wednesdays/many others), Kyle Keller.

More Local Bands Added to Live Music Archive.

Abzorbr, Black Blondie and Nomia have all been added to the Live Music Archive at Archive.org.

Dragons Power Up, Ill Chemistry and Mouthful of Bees are all pending.

Any recommendations of bands to ask?

This was the after party for Louis N. Lapierre's art show opening (555 Studios on 39th and Minnehaha for the next month). A five band bill that was running late resulted in short sets but it was still a great show. Face Candy (also featuring Chris & Casey) and City on the Make played later in the evening. I love the Hexagon but let it be noted that it's a chatty neighborhood joint from back in the day. No cover also means a lot of traffic but the music is full enough to mask much of the chattiness.

This is probably the best Abzorbr tape I've made sonically and it just happened to be Chris's birthday so download this show and listen to all of us consume the body of the universe in his honor. The new song is musical and lyrical tightness...this was the first time it had been played live.

Abzorbr opened the Negative One and the New Rebelution CD Release show. Unfortunately I was not able to stay for the whole show. Jon Wayne & the Pain, Omaur Bliss and Heatbox all had sets so be sure to check them out. This is the first Abzorbr tape to circulate with Kyle on the sax.
