Fantastic Voyagers

Published on October 8, 2007 in Enumclaw and Shows. 0 Comments

Mr. Mike Tamburo is throwing a festival, and you’re all invited. Two big days, over twenty performers. I’m really psyched for this one, and for a beautiful drive from Philly to PBurgh, with the air having that perfect amount of late October crispness. Leave it to Mike to curate a festival solely of solo performers, and he’s put together a rad line up. Many cats here that I’ve heard about, but have yet to see live. Thanks Mike!

Sweet new review of the Niagara Falls / Clear Spots split from Erica Rucker at Foxy Digitalis…

“Whose idea was it to take ambient music past ambient and into a less Yanni, more “drone” sound? Where can I sign up to thank them? The Niagara Falls split release with The Clear Spots is reason enough to do so. Niagara tends to find its groove pretty early and settle into it. However unlike some artists who find that groove and beat you with it, Niagara never does. The other things going on keep everything fresh and interesting enough. “Play Spiral Isles” is exactly enough and never too much or too little. The air/space in the songs is quite welcome. On “Notochord” the hollow sound of the chimes immediately transports the listener somewhere breezy and tropical, at times tribal. There is also something almost classical in the presentations of their songs. Perhaps the song structure; the way certain elements are used as refrains, or as a sort of foundation a la Canon style.”

Niagara Falls Live from Mark Schoneveld on Vimeo.
Oh damn! Another new Niagara vid, posted by our man Mark. This one’s from the recent show at Johnny Brenda’s, here in Philly. Peep Erich working the beginning stages of what will be our Voltron-esqe, trash-picked Gamelan, as well as a few of Sam’s new handcrafted fun trick noisemakers. Thanks Mark.

ALSO…

For a few months now, Noah (of Niagara Falls & The Molecules) and Ashley have been hosting one of the most vibed out nights in the city of Kensington. They call their scene The Kaleidoscopic Eye (check the sweet flyer from a previous night by Bob Howsare above), and they throw down every other Tuesday at the previously sleepy LOST BAR OF ATLANTIS on the corner of Frankford and Haggert, in previously blood drenched Kensington, Philly. Tomorrow, July 31st, I’ll be joining them for a night of jams of the Kraut variety, in addition to their rad blend of “the finest selection of 60’s international psych, garage, freakbeat, Italiano beat, and Tropicalia in the city of PHILADELPHIA.” Stop by and say, “Vibe”.
