Very pleased to share this after playing it at most of the shows last month. Live mix from the tomb comprised of some smooth black gems glistening in a puddle of gutter noise tapes. Like running your hands over a black velvet painting, you get a slick side and a coarse side. You’ll find some screwed down versions of corny classics and some obscure/famous favorites. Nonetheless… light the fake fire place, grab a box of wine, and be prepared with a full box of Pall Malls because this one clocks in at over three and a half hours so it might take a little while to download. Put it on when you want to relive memories of trailer park friends from elementary school: their live-in grandmother’s crystal animal collection meticulously arranged in a glass case across from the projection TV and weeping Apache painting, wind chimes clink in the window while you play SNES until a family argument forces you outside to the shed where you check out the dead animal collection and smell the gasoline real hard on purpose. Truth: the first time I was ever asked to “do sex to” someone it was in 3rd grade while listening to the song “Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles. Good listening for drunken dinner parties, really blown-out lazy dancing, long drives at night, or lifting weights alone.

Introduction to the touring acts:
The 3 from Oakland, CA:
Bleakend at Bernies… a writhing, skeletal entertainer solely equipped with proto-human rhythm and morbidly hilarious vocals. Destructive, comedic, grimy, post-industrial karaoke. A relief to boredom akin to a drunken in-law freaking out and ruining a lame wedding. His crude rendition of Youth of Today makes Ray Cappo’s krishna pony tail spin like a propeller and shoot steam, making slide-whistle sounds. Welcome the chaos.
Generation… another “harsh male poetry” act, equally screamed and crooned songs in the vein of Freakshow-era Residents or early Ween tapes. The yin to Bernie’s yang, Henry Rollins flips out on first acid trip. A semi-clad coyote well aware of his absurdity: not as art, rather cruel aktionism.
Sister Fucker… 2-piece band, from the same noiserock family as Coughs, Cacaw, Rind, and Bad Drugs. Fucking heavy and pissed, dual vocalists, pulverized drums and thick guitar chunks cut by feedback squalor. Somehow straddling the line between intricate and sparse. Sharing their name with a title by Eyehategod, coincidence?
<<First met these freaks when they stopped through Providence in their double-decker “Living Hell” Bus Tour. Check out a video of that with some familiar Providence faces here: http://vimeo.com/6611729
Tracey Trance… the pocket-size, elven creature suckling at the fountain of noise youth. A true anomaly from Iowa City, part of the Night People clan. His music exists in a strange dimension placed in the noise spectrum but still familiar with melody. Naive yet brilliant keyboard solos that bask in the glow of the Sun Ra Arkestra and Amps for Christ. Like a demented calliope churning out discordant notes in some alien cartoon, grinning all the way.
And then, lest we not forget this is the return from winter hiatus for Blood Huff and Daily Life, two local favorites opening and closing out the night.
Daily Life… Coldwave duo of CF (Kites, Mark Lord) and Sakiko Mori (Lazy Magnet). Page on Load Records: http://loadrecords.com/bands/daily-life/
Blood Huff… Bizarre/raging punk. Members of Humanbeast, Good Good, and Clear Leader. website: http://bloodhuff.com/
