\n TOM CARTER<\/strong> \u2013 Pete Swanson once described him to me as a \u2018wizard\u2019 and I think he might be right. His last solo set in LA was one of the most life-affirming demonstrations of the term \u2018slow-burn\u2019 that I have ever seen. And you weren\u2019t there. Please use this opportunity to correct yourself.
\nBRIAN CROOK<\/strong> (NZ) \u2013 guitarist\/vocalist from The Renderers\/The Terminals\/Flies Inside The Sun\/The Max Block\/Scorched Earth Policy etc etc etc. If these names mean nothing to you then you may as well stay at home. Hand down New Zealands best guitarist. Ask anyone.
\nGLANDS OF EXTERNAL SECRETION<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0reclusive legends Barbara Manning and Seymour Glass in their first LA performance (3rd performance in 18 years!). In 2003 they released a \u2018no instruments\u2019 cover of \u2018Tubular Bells\u2019. We have no idea what is going to happen.
\nQUEEN VICTORIA<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m basically only interested in acoustic noise now\u201d \u2013 Nick Malkin aka Queen Victoria
\nYEK KOO<\/strong> \u2013 Helga will perform the whole of her new \u2018Love Song for the Dead C\u2019 LP in its entirety for the first time.
\n* plus a performance in absentia by
ADAM WILLETTS<\/strong> (NZ) – Adam delivers a mailed-in dose of his non-denominational acid electronics from Christchurch.<\/p>\nSaturday April 21st, 7PM<\/span><\/strong>
\nCHARALAMBIDES<\/strong> \u2013 Forget obscure psych-folk reissue \u2018gems\u2019 hitting the shelves daily, you don\u2019t have to look back to the pre-corporate takeover era to find modern psychedelic music of rare beauty. Tom and Christina Carter are perhaps the greatest living practitioners of the form in America. Having been through various configurations and conceptual approaches from avant-folk, through minimalist improvisation right out the other side into folk-form again over a period of 21 years they have consistently chosen the path less trodden, leaving behind them a body of work as monumental as that of Keiji Haino or The Dead C. Don\u2019t get left behind in the wake of cheap party music and illusionary careerist cash dreams: there are visionaries in our midst.
\n500 MG<\/strong> \u2013 Michael Gibbons of psych warriors Bardo Pond performs in his 500mg guise for the first time in LA. Twisting\/burning psilocybe mantras.
\nPURPLE PILGRIMS<\/strong> (NZ) \u2013 Sister duo from Christchurch, fog shrouded choral vox coated with distant reverb guitar. Immersive.
\nPETER KOLOVOS<\/strong> \u2013 Thin Wrist Recordings proprietor plays electric guitar like fireworks built out of stained glass.
\nGABIE STRONG<\/strong> \u2013 Local artist and bassist of Lady Noise. \u00a0No-one knows what to expect – bass?
\nUN CIEGO<\/strong> \u2013 Plans to one day release something that isn\u2019t a lathe-cut. Perhaps a one sided c20 in an edition of 5?<\/p>\nSunday April 22nd, 6PM<\/span><\/strong>
\nMARYROSE CROOK <\/strong>(NZ) \u2013 Of The Renderers\/The Max Block\/Above Ground (whose sole cassette was recently reissued by Siltbreeze). Aching loose country psych ballads from one of the godmothers of the NZ underground.
\nLA LAKERS<\/strong> (NZ) – New Zealand facsimile of LA basketball team slam dunks improvised tape compositions.
\nMETAL ROUGE<\/strong> \u2013 First LA show in a few months and probably the last for a few more. New material. Less interested than ever in \u2018entertaining\u2019 you.
\nDEREK ROGERS<\/strong> \u2013 Recent Texas transplant with a million tapes on a million labels everywhere. Laminal.
\nBAILOUTS<\/strong> \u2013 First performance from new duo unit made up of members of The Faraday Trippers and Shelter Death. Something\u2019s brewing in the OC and it\u2019s not just kopi luwak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emerald Cocoon presents: TRAPDOOR FUCKING EXIT,\u00a0a series of performances taking place inside Helga Fassonaki’s\u00a0Installation,\u00a0Touching Them Touching Me – A Love Song for the Dead C at Human Resources gallery April 20 – 22, 2012.
