December 28  Thursday

Layne Garrett
Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel
Music
9:00pm
$5
Layne Garrett's (Washington, DC) sounds are wide-ranging. from swallow-you-whole improvised noise freak-outs to unnervingly patient, shimmering compositions. all cooked up from the scraps someone else was ready to toss in the dispose-all. sonic elements include: prepared and re-tuned guitars, found-object percussion, 
thumb piano, field recordings, brutish bass clarinet, shaky voice, live
sampling/processing, drift, collapse, transformation, whatever is around.

Frank Schultz (steel) and Scott Burland (theremin) cap off a year- long experiment in sound using no fixed pitch instruments. At once quiet and dissonant, always mindful, occasionally disturbing, this duo brings the concept of pitch to a different level.

December  30  Saturday

San Agustin
Music
9:00pm
$5

David Daniell, guitar; Andrew Burnes, guitar; Bryan Fielden, drums
Haunting moments of introspection are enveloped in clouds of bluesy guitar notes, then swept away by great electric gales; drones rumble and shimmer in the aftermath.
"[San Agustin] works in suspended slow-motion patterns that revolve around simple resonating phrases, like a rock trio stripped of all content—just leaving a bare skeleton of tone traces behind. The beauty is in its strict restraint; unlike many improvising trios, the group never heads off into chaos, with every piece a tamed and trimmed exercise in controlled feedback and subtle cymbal chimes. Bridging post-rock and avant-garde on one axis, and on the other retaining a strict adherence to rock tradition, the feel is of a familiar austerity that calls to mind the chilling moments of Sonic Youth's first album."

Miscellany

October’s Podcast
We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith. If you don’t know what all the podcast fuss is about, a podcast is simply an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or portable mp3 player. For those of you who are familiar with podcasting, please click on podcast. (http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow.xml ) You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size. If you’re having trouble, respond to this email… we can help!
