Hi ya'll,
The latest encroachment on my incredibly overstuffed schedule is my
(foolhardy?) decision to join the board at Eyedrum. That little place
has become the last and best bastion of truly "progressive" music (and
other art forms) in Atlanta, and as part of its board, I get to be a
part of all of that. I'm still in the "checking each other out" period
with the ED folks, but in the meantime, I have found myself in the
coveted position of relief sound-guy. I'll doing sound for two very
promising shows this week - you may want to come on by and check them
out:
MARCH 10 Thursday
Trevor Dunn and Shelley Burgon / Lie and Swell
9:00pm
Wavering between patient meditation and maniacal catharsis, Trevor
Dunn and harpist Shelley Burgon mine the narrow fissure between pure
improvisation and through-composed chamber music, slashing at the
extreme interplay between steel, string and wood. Strings are beaten
or jimmied with clothespins, the harp alternately caressed and
throttled. The sonic equivalent of a Joseph Cornell box, the duo has a
haunting, cinematic quality that is both staggeringly complex and
achingly beautiful. Lie and Swell open.
MARCH 12 Saturday
Man Man / The Marsh
9:00pm, $8
Hailing from both Philadelphia and NYC and joining the ranks of
bizarre-circus-cult rock, are the one and only Man Man! Complete w/
instruments you've never heard of and live strip shows with dancing
gorillas, the antics and sounds of Man Man can sometimes be compared
to the likes of World Inferno Friendship Scoiety, Modest Mouse, Gogol
Bordello, and others… though upon first listen, it's clear that the
mighty Man Man hold their very own place, and possibly genre, within
the musical spectrum…
Atlanta band The Marsh return to Eyedrum after playing its annual
fundraiser in the galleries newly acquired 3000 square foot space to
much deserved fanfare from Atlanta's arts patrons. Expect to hear
explosive Hammond B3 organ swirls and drones, deep bass lines,
falsetto yelps and dramatic music arrangements reminiscent of early
Bowie and Pink Floyd.
