Fire Museum Presents: The Alliance Tour

Stellar OM Source (Holland) Washes of electronic waveforms toss you to and fro, beyond and back, over and yonder. The concoction perhaps recalls your favorite kosmiche stew of yore, but all the ingredients are now. Christelle Gualdi is Stellar Om Source. After some really great collaborations with members of NNCK, Tony Conrad, Thurston Moore, Embryo, The Skaters, Kuupuu and Uton, she’s undertaking a short solo tour of the east coast to celebrate her most recent solo record on Black Dirt Records.
Infinity Window (Brooklyn) duo of Taylor Richardson (Prehistoric Blackout/Sunburned Hand Of The Man/Purple Haze) and Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) “Well beyond ‘mere’ drone/loop automating, this is deeply focused, sensual tone float that combines the most mind-altering new age specifics with Industrial grime and sensual dream logic. Beautiful and highly recommended.” -Volcanic Tongue
Mark McGuire (Cleveland) ”Solo guitar and tapes from Mark McGuire of Emeralds in a heavy minimalist proto-Europe Endless/Kraftwerk style, with delayed arpeggio guitar chopped into melancholy metronomic waves that provide a beautiful backwards transport. Some of the guitar playing reflects on such classy F/X inflected moments as Cul De Sac’s “Doldrums” but there’s also a weird, UK folk aspect that would join the dots between Flying Saucer Attack and Nick Drake.” –We Are Up for Sale
Enumclaw (Philadelphia) Kicking off the jams this evening is Fishtown’s pride and joy, Enumclaw (aka Norman Fetter of Niagara Falls). This is some of the toastiest mind-melt you’ll come across, show up “fashionably late” to this one and you’ll be taunted over missing such sonic sorcery.
Courtesy of our friends at Apollo Audio we present to you Sequence of Prophets, by Niagara Falls. Vinyl will be available on February 17, 2009.
Ok family, we’re going to try something new with this upcoming Niagara Falls record. You can pre-order it right here, and we’ll ship it to you on February 17th. Sound good? Great. Included with this fine piece of vinyl is a coupon for a free digital download, which has been beautifully provided by Apollo Audio.
We’ll be performing the album in its entirety on March 25th at Johnny Brendas, in Philadelphia. Joining in the celebration will be the mighty Kohoutek, as well as YahoWha 13, who are on their first tour in a long, long time! This night is going to be truly amazing.

Khyber, oh Khyber, what fond memories were formed within you. We saw Sunburned Hand of the Man with about 15 other people in you. Ghost blew our minds in you. We saw Espers before the world saw Espers. Hey friends, come join us for an evening of tunes at this mythic club, 56 S. 2nd St. in Old City Philadelphia, this Saturday January 10th. Enumclaw will be vibing the stage with The SEA Trio, Dan Malloy and Gina Ferrera. If you ask, I might sneak you a promo cd of the new Niagara Falls record….oh….
Ok, really, so what are you doing for New Year’s Eve? We’ll be in NYC and you should be too. Enumclaw will be playing a full-club farewell to the Leonard St. Knitting Factory before they up and move to Brooklyn! The night is being curated by the rad dudes of Akron Family, who will also be playing the main stage with Deerhoof, The Dirty Projectors, Deer Tick and Megafaun, and others. Right on.
Enumclaw will be vibing downstairs in the old office, which will be transformed into an ambient drone zone.
More info, tickets and full line up at The Knitting Factory.
Just returned home from the Kensington post office where the new Niagara Falls record, Sequence of Prophets. was shipped off to the plant! This one’s been a long time coming, and we’re really psyched for it to drop in February 2009. We’re ditching the compact disc with this one and will be pressing limited edition vinyl with mp3 dowloads. Our friends at Apollo Audio will be handling the mp3 downloads which will come free with purchase of the vinyl.
Here’s a sneak peak of the opening track, Flatlands…

We’re also ever so pleased to announce that Geoff Bucknum (of Blood Like Mine) has joined the ever-morphing entity that is Niagara. Geoff is a master of texture and tone, and will be adding deep layers of organic, electric guitar.
There is a new-ish Niagara Falls Facebook page, with all the latest gossip. Come friend us up.
In old Niagara news, a recording that we did over the phone back in 2006 for the radio show Phoning it In, is available on their new site right here, along with a ton of other great live performances.
Solid new review of the Tathagatta DNA/RNA 2 cdr set over at Foxy Digitalis. Allow me to cut and paste my favorite bits…
Says Peter Taylor of Foxy Digitalis,
“Bubbling electronics and damped sound forge hypnotic noises.”
“Mirages of melodies are dissolved in reverb and white noise.”
“A very hypnotic side with some of the greatest live synth resonance put to CD-R this year.”
“a journey well worth treading and a high recommendation for all into meditative music. 7/10″
Full review here, and you can pick up a copy over in the shop, of course.

::UNITED BIBLE STUDIES::
The entrancing psych/folk/improv of the United Bible Studies collective www.desertedvillage.com shows equal love for the unadorned beauty of Shirley Collins and Vashti Bunyan, the electrifried takes of the Incredible String Band, and the darker work of Current 93 and Coil. Sparse folk mixes with a melodic take on free improv, and tales of loss and pagan longing abound. They’ve released 10 albums on labels like Ruralfaune, Barl Fire, Foxglove, and their own Deserted Village. This tour will be their first live appearances in the US.

::SHARRON KRAUS::
Twisted folk songs for the new millennium. Her own compositions stand tall beside age-old traditionals from England and Appalachia, and she performs both with a total mastery of the form. Since 2001 she has released five albums on Durtro Jnana, Bo’ Weavil, and Camera Obscura, and has toured extensively in the UK and USA.
