Warehouse shows

Sunday, November 21
 Warehouse Next Door
 1021 7th St NW, Washington DC
 $7, all ages
 doors at 8:30, show at 9:00
 
 Greg Davis (Carpark, Kranky, Staalplaat, from Chicago)
 Signer (Carpark, from New Zealand)
 Ariel Pink (Paw Tracks, from LA)
 
 
  Greg Davis
 
 Greg Davis has made recorded appearances on numerous singles and compilations, played around the world, and is best known for his two albums on the Carpark label: "Arbor" and "Curling Pond Woods." Those two albums, as impressive and well-received as they are, don't tell the whole story of Davis' omnivorous interest in music (he studied composition and jazz studies at DePaul University and composition at the New England Conservatory of Music) and considerable abilities. "Somnia" collects drone-oriented material Davis has been working on over the last two or three years with the final track, "Mirages (version 2)" being a recording from spring 2004 using a schaaf pnch card music box and computer. Each track features a single instrument (bowed psaltery, acoustic guitar, harmonica, Fender Rhodes, Magnus chord organ) played by Davis and then filtered through a computer. The tones that come out of the process bear little immediate resemblance to the instrument of origin, taking on extended and diffuse forms of their own.
 
 "In skilled hands, the music comes off as a perfect fusion of silicon and psilocybin inspiration." (Dave Segal, Portland Mercury)
 
 "He's grown nimble enough in his approach to pull out the computer and make it sound like anything but." (Andy Beta, Pitchfork)
 
 
  Signer
 
 In 2002, we called it Nu-Indie. That pissed people off (who knew?). At the time, New Zealand's Bevan Smith successfully married the digital and analog worlds with Signer's "Low Light Dreams." Now the honeymoon is over and this couple is in it for the long haul. No longer are the two distinct; they have become one. Bevan spent some time listening to his favorite indie slow-jams (Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, "Laughingstock"-era Talk Talk) and decided he should make the first proper fuzzed-out pop gem of the 21st century. Signer's "The New Face of Smiling" chews on all of Bevan's experience in indie bands and electronica and spits them back out into something brand new yet somehow familiar. Those with a sens eof humor can call it "Nu-Gazing."
 
 Singer has played with Dntel, Pan-American, Nudge, Radian, Tagaki Masakatsu, and Chessie.
 
 
  Ariel Pink
 
 After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles, Ariel Pink (the first non-Animal Collective member on the Paw Tracks roster) makes his official Paw Tracks debut with "The Doldrums." Originally a handmade CD-R release a couple years back, "The Doldrums" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti was discovered by the Animal Collective during one of their west coast tours and became an immediate favorite.
 
 Recording at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created with his mouth), Ariel Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something beautiful and confusing, yet highly addictive.

 DC Locals STAMEN & PISTILS have an exciting show tomorrow with west coast kids
 KATY DAVIDSON of DEAR NORA, YACHT and THE BLOW in DC at the Warehouse Next Door.
 Katy Davidson will be playing her beautiful pastoral folksy pop. YACHT, freshly
 back from Europe touring as Devendra Banhart’s drummer, delivering his brand of
 laptop pop. Even if you think you don’t know him, you know his work. Jona has
 played in/with/for/on some pretty brilliant records by the likes of Microphones,
 Mirah, ((VVRRSSNN)), Devendra Banhart, Dear Nora, The Badger King, Bobby
 Birdman, Little Wing, The Blow and others. Speaking of THE BLOW, Khaela is of
 course playing this show as well, and we are all quite excited for this shithot
 line up. She’s supporting her new release, Poor Aim: Love Songs, which
 consequently, features YACHT all over it playing a bunch of instruments and
 making beats.

 THE BLOW Khaela Maricich – after spending the past several years lovingly
 crafting pop songs of naive complexity under the assumed names The Blow (K
 Records) and Get The Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano- has joined forces with
 States Rights Records recording artist Jona Bechtolt (Y.A.C.H.T, The Badger
 King) to craft her most realized work to date - Poor Aim: Love Songs. As the
 premier co-release of Slender Means Society and States Rights Records
 collaborative Pregnancy Series, the EP is a laser-focused re-evaluation of the
 Blow’s already celebrated vision; her stuttered, minimalist pop tones-undulating
 synths, languid bass ambiance, and longing lyrics delivered in post coital hush-
 married with Bechtolt’s crystalline, progressively adept production
 sensibilities. The product is unlike any other in Maricich’s uncompromising
 discography – a dramatic leap of sonic and conceptual clarity that maintains
 Maricich’s indelibly singular voice. A concept record loosely unified in fa!
 ilings – songs about failed love, and conversely, love songs that fell short-
 Poor Aim explores love’s yearnings, deceptions, addictions, and ultimately, its
 complacency.
 With that in mind, however, it’s important to approach Poor Aim as, first and
 foremost, a commanding pop statement – or “hit factory” as we’re affectionately
 calling it – with songs after song glorious song of striking dance floor
 brilliance. A rapid-fire RIL assault certain to blow-up the play lists of iPod
 DJs nationwide. Give it a spin-we is sure you’ll agree
 
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 STAMEN & PISTILS allude to an ongoing collusion between bedroom hip-hop and
 dirty indie pop, by blending crunchy, lo-fi sounds and unconventional pop
 songwriting. Lazy harmonies, chunky beats and flittering electronics, married to
 mellow acoustic guitar strums and fuzzy melodies.
 
 Folky, DSP love songs sung out over broken instruments, dusty, old scratchy
 records, amd mangled audio mulch. Found sounds, a box of old letters, the dawn
 sun peeking through the mini-blinds. A warm pillow, and a series of endless
 run-on sentences to describe the lot.

 Sometime after 1612, Shakespeare retired from the stage and returned to his home in Stratford. He drew up his will in January of 1616, which included his famous bequest to his wife of his "second best bed." He died on April 23, 1616, and was buried two days later at Stratford Church.

How big is the Warehouse?  Does it hold as many people as the 930 club?

[thirsty moore]

Nowhere near.  Think more Black Cat backstage.

Then divide it in half.

[andyrichter]

Got it.  So more like 150, 200 capacity.

[snailhook]

we're bigger than the velvet lounge, but slightly smaller than DC9.  roughly the same size as black cat backstage. i usually cut off at 120, but we've been known to squeeze upwards of 150 in there. any more than that and it becomes a fire hazard. hope that helps!

[Captain Jack]

how many shows have sold out?
 
 
 I've only been to one that sold out (Majority Rule in April)

[snailhook]

great stoner/boogie rock show tonight with richmond's alabama thunderpussy (relapse records) and RPG, and NYC's the brought low (tee pee records). i guarantee you will not see a better rawk show all year. that is, if you appreciate real rock 'n' roll and not major label fabricated faux garage.

 ALABAMA THUDER PUSSY
 Named after a rogue venereal disease that broke out in the southernmost of Southern states, Alabama Thunder Pussy...OK, I made some of that up. The members of ATP are not from Alabama, but, rather, hail from the sort-of-Southern Richmond, Va. The embattled outfit has weathered a label failure and several lineup shuffles, the latest of which involved new-guy vocalist Johnny Weils
 replacing co-founder Johnny Throckmorton. One of the highest-selling bands on the Man's Ruin label upon its folding, ATP has remained prolific, releasing five albums since 1998 and building a respectable following. The band's crunchy country metal can be many things �?? thoughtfully instrumental, bludgeoning, antagonistic, and even occasionally yearning �?? but it will never be confused with the neutered division of roots rock à la Antler or My Morning Jacket. ATP's hardscrabble anger makes a m�?�re suitable bedfellow for the rural transgression of dirtball haters Antiseen and Rancid Vat�??with more metal, taller riffage, and '70s Southern-rock indebtedness, natch. Alabama Thunder Pussy plays with the Brought Low and RPG at 10 p.m. at the Warehouse Next Door, 1017 7th St. NW. $8. (202) 783-3933. (Andrew Earles - Washington City Paper)

 OXFORD COLLAPSE
 For some people, the fact that a band sounds like James doesn't even register on the things-important-in-life-o-meter. And they're right: It's those kindergarten values �?? knowing to share your toys, be quiet at nap time, and not invade another country whenever you feel like it �?? that are important. Remember these things should you go see Brooklyn's much-lauded (Sounds like New Order! Sounds like Gang of Four!) Oxford Collapse. Be thinking that the members of that band are probably really nice fellas who are trying their best to make "eccentric" music
 that isn't a horribly recorded retread of a retread. Stay positive �?? it's what your kindergarten teacher would want you to do. The Oxford Collapse plays with Two If by Sea and the Positions at 8:30 p.m. at the Warehouse Next Door, 1017 7th St. NW. $6. (202) 783-3933. (Mike Kanin - Washington City Paper)

Come to the Warehouse on Wednesday for a night of exceptional acoustic fingerpicking and balladry with Jack Rose, The Big Huge, and Micah Blue Smaldone. As if that isn't enough, DC's Dead Meadow will be performing a special acoustic set.
 
 Clavius Productions presents:
 
 Wednesday, January 5
 Warehouse Next Door
 1021 7th St NW
 9pm, $7, all ages
 
 Jack Rose (from Philly, member of Pelt, VHF/Eclipse Records)
 The Big Huge (from Baltimore, Magic Eye Rec., ex-Sonna)
 Micah Blue Smaldone (from Maine)
 and Dead Meadow acoustic!
 
 
 Jack Rose
 
 Jack Rose is -- without exaggeration -- one of the premier fingerpickers on this revolving chunk of dirt called Earth. From delta blues and bluegrass to Hindustani raga drone and avant-garde composition, Jack's songs touch upon numerous cultures, eras, and moods, culminating in an overarching statement of personal expression. His ability and melodic sensibilities completely belie his thirty-something years.
 
 RIYL: John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Sandy Bull, Mississippi John Hurt, etc.
 
 
 The Big Huge
 
 Brought up on American folk and British psychedelic pop music, The Big Huge wears its influence on its sleeve, while being sure not to recreate the past. After the split of Sonna, a Baltimore-based ambient instrumental group, The Big Huge (Drew Nelson) decided to revert back to his love of acoustic instrumentation. After a few solo shows, he decided to recruit a fellow Baltimore-based musician, Michael Lambright, to help with accordion, ukelele, glockenspiel, and banjo. After a year of shows in Baltimore and the east coast, Drew and Michael began recording their first LP, Crown Your Head With Flowers, Crown Your Heart With Joy. Recorded by Chris Freeland and Drew in Chris�?? parents�?? living room, the record has a summer vibe with lyrics harking back to a time of Welsh communes during the summer of love.
 
 RIYL: early Incredible String Band, Donovan, Vashti Bunyan, etc.
 
 
 Micah Blue Smaldone
 
 "As the pale sun wanes in the horizon, you snap open a frosty bottle of Doc Walton�??s World�??s Best Sarsaparilla, knock back the brim of your straw hat, and contentedly listen as Micah Blue Smaldone�??s sweet vocals spill out of your phonograph. His gentle, almost preternatural acoustic guitar pickings and racially ambiguous voice recalls the halcyon, radio days of early America �?? a time of great depression framed, however, by the desire to always �??keep on the sunny side.�?� The distant crickets make a marvelous accompanying symphony for Smaldone�??s simple balladry, as if he realized that he needed nothing but his voice and a guitar and nature would take care of the rest. You wipe the sweat from your brow and pull out your whittling stick. Time to get down to some serious business.
 This is time-traveling music, songs that angle a mood from a past long forgotten. Smaldone weaves loose thread tapestries of fishermen, repentant cheating hearts, ice cream socialists, and sweet, sunny days that make you want to take off your hat, look up at that old, burning hole in the sky, and whistle, �??Wooooweeee, it shore is a hot one!�?� Timeless, good-natured tunes like �??Some Sweet Day�?� and �??Old Dog Blues�?� are interspersed with the instrumental �??Pine Needle Rag�?� and �??Blind Boy Rag,�?� the latter showing off Smaldone�??s impressive banjo-picking chops. Land sakes! The man even covers Webb Pierce�??s classic �??In the Jailhouse Now,�?� dealing with the police�??s notion to �??lock up all the Reds and burn their books.�?� Rife with satirical (if not slightly dated) wit and a sincerity for authenticity, Some Sweet Day is intended to make us all feel nostalgic for a time very few (or none) of us actually remember." (Delusions of Adequacy)
 
 RIYL: Blind Blake, Big Bill Broonzy, Ralph Stanley, bluegrass, ragtime

 Tuesday, January 11
 doors at 8:30, show at 9:15
 $6, all ages
 
 Yowie (from St. Louis, Skin Graft Rec.)
 Hand Fed Babies (Hugh from Black Eyes)
 Yes, Collapse (from Dayton Ohio, Epicene Sound Systems)
 
 Yowie
 
 Three years in the making, Cryptooology, Yowie's debut album, is an album at war. Yowie, a dual-guitar and drums trio from St. Louis, have been stunning audiences with their incomparable barrage of sonic kung fu. They accelerate the progressive-rock rhythmic sensibilities of Ruins and Magma and mutate them with the shriekier side of Big Black and Slayer. The band incorporates many variations in time signature, tempo, and tuning, to create a virtual audio maze, but no matter how complex things get their compositions remain cohesive and compelling.
 
 Earlier this year, with their debut album still being recorded, the strength of Yowie's live show alone garnered them a nomination in The Riverfront Times' 2004 St. Louis Music Awards, alongside local acts as diverse as Nelly and Chuck Berry to Jay Farrar and Chingy. The Yowie has yet to be found in Australia, but can be found touring the U.S. in support of Cyptooology this year and into 2005. The band has already forged a strong Midwest following based solely on their astounding live shows, performing with the likes of: Cheer-Accident, The Frogs, Wesley Willis, The Chinese Stars, The Flying Luttenbachers, and X27, to name a few.
 
 "The accepted term for the music of bands such as Yowie is "math rock," presumably because it's precisely rendered and, for all its clamor, kind of nerdy. The seven instrumentals on the St. Louis trio's 30-minute debut album, Cryptooology, twist, jab and squawk, but they're never as violent as the illustrations on the cover, which depict dinosaurs fighting giant humanoids and other schoolboy fantasies of nature at war. (The band is named for an Australian cousin of Bigfoot.) On such choppy compositions as "Trina," "Tara" and "Towanda" -- yes, you do detect a pattern -- Jeremiah Wonsewitz and Jim Hagerty's guitars lunge at each other, while Shawn "Defenestrator" O'Connor's drums keep not one but a plethora of beats. As in free jazz, any of the instruments can be central, and none is limited by anything other than its (and its player's) technical range. The results are vivid, if a bit exhausting. There are no grooves or motifs, let alone melodies, to anchor the music. That disorientation is just what Yowie intends, of course. The only gentle passage on the disc, which comes during "Talisha," turns out to be an album-ending feint." (Mark Jenkins, The Washington Post)
 
 Yes, Collapse
 
 Methadrone and Yes, Collapse offer up a double 3�?� CDR on Epicene Sound Replica, in a hand painted, American Tapes-esque DVD case. Methadrone�??s sound meanders falling into locked-groove, broken-record style repetition only to decay back into more squiggles and throbs. His sounds are constantly at war with each other. One squeal rises to the top only to be defeated a few seconds later by a crunching pulse rising from the bottom of the pile. Yes, Collapse gives us three songs that sound as if they could be a death march signaling the coming of the apocalypse. The most strikingly noticeable element of Yes, Collapse�??s compositions is the presence of a beat which serves as a foundation for the vile lurching static, and haunting organ that lays over top. In some ways this music is reminiscent of Mammal, but seems to be a bit more informed by Throbbing Gristle. This double CDr may just be the perfect soundtrack, for the neo-dark-ages. (Indieworkshop)

 ENVY
 
 Since 1992, Envy has become a dominant band in the independent hard-core scene in Japan. Their music, through their own evolution, encompasses a sound where intensity and beauty coexists. A band that truly has their own sound. They have recorded a number of singles and albums in Japan as well as released split albums with bands like This Machine Kills, Endeavor, Six Pence, and Yaphet Kotto. Since their beginning, Envy has toured all throughout Japan, including playing with Mogwai and Isis on their most recent Japan tours. In '97 and twice in 2000, they toured in Asia playing to audiences in Hong Kong, China, and Korea. In '98 and 2001, Envy toured Europe. In March, 2004 Envy toured the UK including a performance at the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival. With the help of Rock Action and Mogwai, Envy has been received well in countries all over the world. They are one of the leading independent Japanese bands and widely considered to be one of the best live bands around.  
 
 Members:
 Tetsuya Fukagawa - Vocal, Sequencer                                    
 Nobukata Kawai - Guitar
 Masahiro Tobita - Guitar                     Manabu Nakagawa - Bass
 Dairoku Seki - Drums    
 
 
 MALADY
 
 Using punk and hardcore as a foundation, these ex-members of City Of Caterpillar and Pg. 99 have stretched their creative muscles to incorporate a wide variety of influences across many musical genres. While retaining the intensity and dark atmospheres of their former projects, the group uses the verse/chorus structure of pop songs. The result is catchy and noisy, allowed to grow in form, vary in repetition, and leave space for moments of beauty. Malady has wasted no time since the break-ups of their previous projects in late 2003. Work on Malady’s first full-length began in Feburary 2004 and was completed in May. Since then, the band has been touring almost non-stop, including a full US tour which coincided with the release of their debut LP for Level Plane Records.
 
 Malady is:
 Chris Taylor - Vocals
 Jeff Kane - Guitar
 Jonathan Moore - Guitar
 Kevin Longendyke - Bass/Vocals
 Johnny Ward - Drums
 
 
 HARAM
 
 New band featuring members of Majority Rule and Pg. 99
