this could be interesting just watching markie trying to figure out whether to rawk out or pout out :p
-
I think certain names have already led Markie to believe it's a wankfest.
-
but will Andrew WK drag the sonic youth members up to his level of will the sonic youth members drag Andrew WK down to their level?
-
I don't think Andrew WK will be playing anything that resembles Party Hard.

Like that then, I don't think Andrew WK will be playing anything.
All his songs sound like Party Hard.
-
Think of the sonic possibilities:
It's Time to Party, backed by members of Sonic Youth, Lightning Bolt and Wolf Eyes
That is the night I become a man.

I think drums could possibly explode. The only logical action would be to throw a chair out the window. That would be insane.

just the weirdness factor in all of this is enough to interest me into checking it out.
-
With TLASILA I gather that is quite possible. My mother has already teasingly cautioned me not to get arrested (considering the theme and day).

Yea, this thing is going to sell out before the night of the show. The Sonic Youth board has people coming from all over the east coast for this.
-
HOLY SHIT!
this is going to be amazing. the funny thing is, all of these bands would generally never play in DC unless:
1) sonic youth asked them to open for them, or
2) i booked them at my house or at the warehouse next door.
andrew wk fans take note: THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ALL-OUT NOISEFEST. NOTHING RESEMBLING POP MUSIC WHATSOEVER. 99% of the people on this board will not like what they hear if they choose to go to this show (except for captain jack, nkotbie, and econo). if you disagree, then come to 611 florida (http://www.claviusproductions.org) on january 8th to see birchville cat motel (abrasive noise from new zealand that thurston moore put out on ecstatic peace) as a sort of indicator as to what this event will mostly be like.
seriously, double leopards, 16 bitch pile-up, metalux, nautical almanac, magik markers, and monotract make amateurish lo-fi punk noise. i saw mirror/dash in 1997 in a NYC loft and it was basically kim whispering and hitting her bass, while thurston made feedback. lightning bolt may be the most accessible band on this bill.
i went up to the true vine record store in baltimore tonight to see chris corsano, and he told me that flaherty/corsano are also on the bill. they played my house almost two years ago and are arguably the most vital free jazz duo around. corsano also told me the show was put together my thurston and some other dude.
i can't wait for this event. noise freaks from all around the country will probably be coming to this.
-
uh...lightning bolt rulz...huh...yeah....
almost eclipses the low date in february.
-
HOLY SHIT, indeed. I was PISSED I had to miss wolf eyes at warehouse this past halloween, as their last album Burned Mind is slowly becoming one of my favorite records EVER, but this way more than makes up for it! Lightning Bolt are SICK live and I've been dying to see one of the TLSILA + andrew wk/thurston shows ever since I've heard about the test run gigs they did in NYC over the summer. The only other bands I've seen on the bill before is nautical almanac and magik markers. Nautical Almanac were really good when I saw them.. magik markers on the other hand :confused: I've heard very good things about the other noise cats on this bill though!
..If this show was in NYC, where these kinds of events generally tend to take place, I'd totally make the trip up north for it. In fact, there is something REALLY cool going on in Brooklyn, NY the 3rd weekend of March by the name of NO FUN FEST 2005 (http://www.monotract.com/nofun/2005.html). A reunited Whitehouse should be killer!
-
If I'm in town, I'm definitely going to this.
-
magik markers and 16 bitch pile up are worth it alone
damn this is gonna be good
-
so tonight at the warehouse, i met "the other dude" who put this event together with thurston. his name is chris grier and he's a member of TLASILA. he's been living in DC since march and a mutual friend thought that we should meet each other. strange how that works...
anyway, the idea for this was hatched when sonic youth came to DC to speak at georgetown, and thurston and chris thought that it would be a great idea to assemble their dream line-up of noise/improv acts as part of a statement against the election.
this show is going to be monumental. i already know a bunch of folks from philly and NYC coming down for this. DC better represent, though it's hard to imagine when i'm lucky to get 20 people to show up at experimental shows. maybe this is just what DC needs (billing sonic youth and andrew wk) to get this sort of music on the map, not just with locals, but also to make the rest of the country aware that DC has a fertile -- however small -- scene devoted to the exploration of sound.
HOLY SHIT, indeed. I was PISSED I had to miss wolf eyes at warehouse this past halloween, as their last album Burned Mind is slowly becoming one of my favorite records EVER,
that's unfortunate, as the wolf eyes set was arguably the most frightening, evil hour of music i've ever witnessed live (and i've seen close to 2000 shows).
Nautical Almanac were really good when I saw them.. magik markers on the other hand I've heard very good things about the other noise cats on this bill though!
nautical almanac can be spotty, but are always a joy to watch. magik markers are more about the spectacle than the music. i've never been too impressed by them musically, but as a show, it's tough to beat.
In fact, there is something REALLY cool going on in Brooklyn, NY the 3rd weekend of March by the name of NO FUN FEST 2005. A reunited Whitehouse should be killer!
you bet i'll be there! i wouldn't miss a whitehouse reunion for anything!
shoot ur shot, you should try to make it to 611 florida this sunday for ortho or on january 8th for birchville cat motel. both of these bands could easily have been on the noise against fascism show.
-
hell yea dude, i'm totally down for the cause. noise music, as one of the members from wolf eyes so eloquently put it, "it's just a celebration of middle fingers." I'm glad Richmond has some devoted followers (http://www.804noise.org) of the music whom i've learned a lot from during my short time down here. There's even a get together every Thursday night at Harrison St Coffee Shop, which is conveniently 2 blocks away from where I live.

Oh I heard about this.. with Alex Ross, right? The stuff I've read from him in the new yorker is absolute gold. He reminds me so much of my buddy, also named Alex, it's not even funny. I'd love to know what they talked about. Fill me in?

:mad: yea.. real great man, rub it in. i've had some pretty awful luck with shows this past fall, which is generally when my show attendance is at it's peak. Due to various unfortunate turn of events (scheduling issues, work, school, finances, etc) I've had to miss Love/The Zombies, Slayer, Mastodon, your doomfest, Animal Collective, Isis, incredible string band, the first 45 minutes of the pixies and countless other shit, but i've gotten things straightened out so i shouldn't have as many scheduling and budget conflicts anymore.
..The only Whitehouse lp's ive gotten my grubby hands on is Erector, Total Sex, and Great White Death but they completely fucked me up.. BRUTAL.
611 florida sounds good this sunday. However, I should probably make sure not to bring the same open minded music friends I brought last time, as they didn't seem to be too open minded during Excepter's set at the Free Folk thing. They were pissed at me for like a week! I guess they don't call Excepter "room-clearers" for nothing. Too bad the only other set i caught was the end of Sabir Mateen, who was serious. OH By the way, something I want to clear up. At the door, a guy in a trucker hat asked me for the 5 bucks, (who I thought might have been you) so I gave it to him. But later, that rat bastard turned out to be a guy in Excepter. I hope he didn't pull a fast one on me! So did you have something arranged with him to help collect cover at the door or was he really just a rat bastard?
-
How ridiculous was this? Are there any recordings?
-
it was a pretty crucial night. i know it was recorded but i don't have any copies. 16 bitch absolutely tore it up, as did flaherty/corsano.
-
I even tore my jeans leaving the house that night.
-
I went to this thing 4 years ago and it was mostly horrible.
-
horrible? horrible? bullshit. it was glorious and rowdy, disturbing and profound, preachy and poignant. and a fat krist novoselic walking around.
-
magik markers and 16 bitch were great and stole the show for me. and the flaherty/corsano duo leveled the place
-
My thoughts exactly. But as much as I wanted to be into To Live & Shave, I was just too fucking tired at that point to be interested in anything. That was a long ass show.

-
i bought a homemade looking cd from the markers and from a band called hero pup that night, and i still listen to them. even the double leopards double disk was good.
-
i thought it was neat to see the kids that only went to see thurston and kim
hopfully they left diggin some new sounds
-
Who were the two guys wearing masks? That was just odd... The band that was the drummer/horn combo was atleast interesting.
-
How did this thread get resurrected?
-
I came across it while exploring last night.
