Triple Rock > Bedlam > Triple Rock

I had been excited to tape Fuck Buttons for a long time. Met up with my bud and fellow taper, Guy at the Triple Rock. I've heard great things about Caribou's live show so we were looking forward to making some sweet tapes. We were both clamped to the same stand when Fuck Buttons merch guy came up and very politely told us that per their management he was not to allow anyone to record any of the shows on this tour. He was very cool about it, explaining that they were playing songs the label had not heard yet and their management wanted to prevent the songs from leaking. I suppose we could have given the old "we'll give the band copies and then just keep the recordings to ourselves" argument but I wasn't in the mood to go there.

Knowing that Caribou was covered my original plan was to tape FB and then head to the Bedlam Theatre to tape Mel Gibson & the Pants. I stayed and checked out most of FB's set but because I was already all packed up and ready to go I ducked out before they finished. Short story short I made a really nice recording of MG&TP then headed back to the Triple Rock in time to catch the last 2-3 Caribou songs. They sounded very tight and it's a good thing Guy was rolling on them.


I ran into one of the Fuck buttons guys and just mentioned that "it's a bummer we couldn't record your set but we fully understand the label concerns so no worries at all." He was a bit confused so I just explained that we were asked to to record per the management. He had verified that it was due to the two new songs that were in the set and was a bit apologetic about the whole deal. "Just as long as you don't think we're assholes." I assured him that wasn't the case at all and thanked him for coming through.

Over the course of 18 years they have been there for a lot of people. This band deserves your support.


Here's to the tough guy that slammed into a friend filming beside me over what he thought was an abandoned beer on the drink rail. After a polite elbow to chill out I handed over the empty root beer bottle in an effort to keep him off the recording. He dropped it on the ground and proceded to text on his phone, yelling out the occasional Bro comment. Thankfully you can only hear the jackass a couple of times. FUCKING JESUIT! WE WANT NATE! ...oh man texting at shows is so cool. I wanted to ask why he felt the need to drink other peoples beverages but he wasn't around after the show. Bro, drinking strange beverages can be bad for you.

City on the Make @ The Bedlam Theatre

I heard great things from a couple of friends about City on the Make's set opening for the Black Diamond Heavies at the 400 Bar Friday night. Those who were at the Bedlam last night were treated to another set full of heart and rock by the band. They played the after-party for the second night of Idigaragua and Massgraves, two memorizing productions being put on by local theatre company A Lamb Lays With Lion. Check out both of these shows! The schedule is posted below. Even if you are not able to attend these particular productions please be sure to stop by The Bedlam Theatre and show them your support. It is a valuable establishment.

I'm going to hold off on posting a torrent of the City on the Make set until I talk to them some more. Keep an eye on their page for info on the soon to be released new EP.

The following information was taken from bedlamtheatre.org.

Apr 3, 2008 - Apr 13, 2008
A LAMB LAYS WITH LION PRODUCTION
THE ENCORE PRESENTATION OF
FORT WILSON RIOT PRESENTS: IDIGARAGUA
IN REPERTORY WITH
MASSGRAVES
Directed by Jeremey Catterton
April 3-13, 2008 (Opening April 4)

Fort Wilson Riot Presents: Idigaragua premiered at the Bedlam Theatre to great critical acclaim and sold out crowds in September of 2007. Conceived by local art-rock band Fort Wilson Riot and directed by Jeremey Catterton, Idigaragua features dance, puppetry, film and live rock 'n' roll to fully visualize their concept album of the same title. A five-part epic, Idigaragua relates a magical tale of one man's lifetime, from the mundane to the fantastic. It speaks of intention, possibility, and choice, while all along accompanied by a mystical bird and its song, "Idigaragua . . . " Idigaragua was voted "Best Rock Opera" by MSP Magazine in 2007.

"Massgraves…is a lot of bodies…or the end of religion... or possibly the mourning of our weak wrecked planet, as we gift it unto our children. Massgraves is the story of how to properly put to bed everything we hold dear. It is how we say goodbye to all that was good about life and striving. The Requiem for all that we did not do, or simply the Prayer for all that we still hope to happen…which keeps us living. Massgraves is a hiphop-beat ridden vision that peers through the art of performance to tell us the story of ourselves in a city, Nosferatu on the floor in a heap, and The Egyptian Book of the Dead in our sleep," from writer/director Jeremey Catterton. Massgraves will feature live original music by Kill the Vultures.

Check this band out! Great 50 minute set opening for the Paper Chase. Be sure to support these fine fellas, especially if you live in the Twin Cities area.

Iced Ink is/are/am an instrumental surf-jazz-metal guitar - drum - bass - percussion group that are slowly emerging from the snowy bowels of Minneapolis, MN. It spawned in 1998 when Mike (guitar) abandoned all contact with outside musicians for a few years to focus on writing music he wished he was hearing more of in the Twin Cities area that couldn't necessarily be written by just "jamming".

Let's move ahead to July of 2001: Freshly transplanted to the Twin Cities from that one famous music school in Boston full of gifted wankers, VomitGod (drums) along with his wifeperson Sara T. (percussion) were lured in by shameless Iced Ink promotional bait printed on the back of Minneapolis' premier weekly alternative news source, City Pages. He contacted Mike, and 6 months later, Joe Berkman's skillful (and very audible) bass manipulations won the Iced Ink Bassist Pageant to complete the lineup. They bought a colorful bus, were driven around by their mother and manager Reuben to perform to the delight of many screaming fans, and compelled families across the world to tune in every week for a half hour of pure watery comedy and bad lip-synching.

In the spring of 2005, VomitGod and Scara moved back out East which caused Berkman and Mike to search high and low for replacement drums/percussion. Iced Ink fan and CEO of HighTide Music Doug Kasper was kind enough to refer a lovely and talented drummer to them by the name of Barry Knudson. Barry proved to be an eggsellent fit for the band and they are now playing as a boner feed power trio.

In closing, if you obtain a copy of our CD "There's A Bee In Here", "ALIVE!", and/or come out to see us live, you may find yourself wondering: "How come nobody told me weird music that people can't dance or sing to could be this totally bitchin?!!"

The answer, my friends, is ketchup.

Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble

That sickness that everyone has had finally caught up to me. Kicked my ass. Still kicking it. I missed the EP release at the BLB. Never been to the Theater part of the BLB. Word is it holds 75 and to get a good recording you either need to be on-stage or get their early enough to get permission to clamp to the projector. I didn't a clamp or the motivation to drag my sick ass down there. Heard it was great. Pick up the EP if you see it out and about.

I'm going to head down to the Turf Club for Kill the Vultures, Painted Saints and American Catastrophe and Alexei better have my copy or I'm coughing on him.

This is a really great set from Humanboy that opened the A Whisper in the Noise "Dry Land" US CD Release. All 4 of these people bring something to the table that makes me want to see this band again. I really don't think you'll be disappointed after giving this a quick download. I have a really nice Audience recording I'll post as well. To be honest, I'm only familiar with the tracks on myspace (check 'em out) so I was hoping Ben would help with the setlist! I hope you enjoy some Humanboy.

So there are numerous extremely talented jazz trios in Minneapolis but FKW are by far my favorite. Add together all of the other bands and artists that these guys are in or gig with and you'd have an intertwining tree of at least another 20 other active bands. Don't let this set fool you either, they have plenty of original material to check out.

See also; Happy Apple, Alpha Consumer, Carbon Carousel, Face Candy, Slide Huxtable, James Buckley Trio, The Pines, Dosh, Fog, Dubsack, Gloryland PonyCat and Kelly Rossum Quartet to name a few.

The first of 7 hip hop sets and definitely one of the best of the night. Check out the Brainstem Records site for more information on the artists affiliated with the label.

"Enemy Entropist was founded in 2004 by Minneapolis MC's Optix & Cadaver, who were/are members of MNeapolis Junction. The motivation was to explore the stylistic and lyrical capabilities of the two as a duo, and to shine a spotlight on Cadaver's perpetually growing prowess as a producer. Fellow Junction member Asei MT joined up to add his flavorful cuts as well as production, to the Lake of Fire sessions and perform DJ duties at shows. He has also began upping his game as an MC on various ENTROPIST tracks. The group has a solid self-made debut album plus several unreleased tracks in the bag, as well as a hand full of recent new tracks in one form of creation or another. The style is underground and lyrically-complex, more or less pondering on the dark and intense vibe of the rap spectrum. As with all Brainstem projects, production is highly valued and the beats demand your appreciation. The live show is energetic and executed with precision. These guys have known and been working together for several years, and it shows."

Notes: Great show, really happy with this AUD. Strange there was no encore...they had been coming back out for 2 more at other shows. Oh well, they probably needed to be out of there by 10pm for the club's booty dance night, happy they finally made it here. Please support Jonah's music. Jeremy & Dave are still in ATTENTION. I'm sure Norman and Bob are still active.

www.jonahmatranga.com/bleeagh.html

============

This was a really special show, likely to go down in the top 10 shows I've ever seen. I've had numerous requests to reseed some Gratitude or other Jonah related material so I'll start to come through on that. This one's for Stefan in Berlin. It's been a long time since I've seeded any of the masters I taped with my older rig but I was always happy with the sound on this and the original seed received many compliments on the quality of the recording. I just re-listened to this today and it's great imho.

Left for San Diego on the 20th and flew back in last night. I missed Big Trouble at the Dakota but hope to catch up with them soon.

Sunday, January 20, 2008

January is almost over.

Still want to post some sets from the Kill the Vultures/Splinter Cells/Doric show at the Turf.

Still want to post some sets from the City on the Make/Abzorbr/Adrenaline/Sector 7G show at the Entry.

Missed The Pines/Bon Iver/Roma di Luna at the Turf.

Missed "the best new bands of 2007" at First Avenue.

I'll be out of town next week but would like to make it to the Dakota for Big Trouble. Not sure what time I'm getting back on Friday...

We have decided that all unreleased material except for "The Romance Of Wolves" will be omitted from this torrent. As soon as the new album is released whether that's six months from now or a year from now this set will be torrented in it's entirety. I hope this does not prevent people from checking this recording out. It's such a great set and recordings from the Cedar always sound excellent. I have checked and rechecked to verify that this recording plays through seamlessly without a hint of any missing tracks.

I do wish I had audience sources of The Shake Up and Stress Fracture from this run but the E&A show would have went untaped.

Thank you to Mel Gibson & the Pants and the Nomad (Matt, Ryan and the rest of the staff) for being cool with taping.

I was going to post this last week so I hope this wasn't to much of a wait. Back home for the final show of the tour. I'm really happy with the sound on this so I didn't touch a thing.

Thanks again to everyone who taped or filmed a show on this tour. Maybe a few more recordings will circulate in the coming months.

The Triple Rock >>> The Nomad

I can't remember the last time I felt such a warm vibe of friends and family converging at a show but both circles were at the Triple Rock to welcome Eyedea & Abilities home last night. Abzorbr and Sector 7G opened. Torrents to follow...

After the Sector 7G set I ran a recorder down to the Nomad and patched out of the soundboard...hit record...brisk walk back to the Triple Rock.

I'm really excited to torrent these Triple Rock tapes but I was even more excited to get back to the Nomad in time to catch the last 4-5 MG&TP songs including Shark Sandwich with P.O.S. and Stress Fracture with Mictlan. Much respect to good-hearted Minneapolis cabbies.

The Nomad >>> First Avenue Last Week.

Late post but more so a reminder to myself for when I make updates to a future website and process the recordings.

Last Thursday December 13th was the 2nd night of the Mel Gibson & the Pants December residency at the Nomad. D Numbers from Santa Fe, NM opened. Special guests included a set by Dosh playing new material from his album being released in May. Sims played a short set and also returned to the stage and did Landmarked with MG&TP. Performance-wise I thought the sets were great. Recording-wise many of the tracks are marred by issues with the house mics cutting out. Dosh wins for not having any vocals.

So, Friday December 14th the Doomtree Blowout III at First Avenue. Good show. I'll leave it at that, no use wasting space about drunk frat boys here. A highlight for me was the Big Trouble set. They busted out some Doomtree instrumentals. Word was that Gay Witch Abortion were playing somewhere downstairs and Roma di Luna was playing somewhere upstairs.

Friday morning I went over to Micheal's house...him and Abilities were getting things rounded up. Chris and Louis arrived after a bit so we all piled into the beast de Louis for the 5 hour trip to Fargo.

I did audience and soundboard for the all ages show but with the layout of the venue and the anticipated size of the crowd (many of them understandably there to booze it up) I decided to put my mics away for the late show and just enjoy it while taping from the board. I'll eventually post one or both of the sources from the early set but check out this nice sbd of the late set for now.

This one goes out to all of the fellow tapers that did audio or video on the recent Appetite for Distraction tour. E&A support taping so if you'd like to ever cover a show get in touch with me and I'll get you onto the list.
