Paradoxal Pterodactyl

Way back in April, our monthly gig at the Tap Room commenced with a thoughtful set by Undercurrent honcho and prominent local skinsman Joe Hess and his string-oriented compatriot Alex Cunningham, which was in turns both sparse and layered; both meditative and ominously foreboding.  Grade A trippy shit, MAAAAAN. The set didn't make it onto the tape or the digital Side C in our feed for a few reasons, mainly because it was not part of the scheduled lineup, but an impromptu thing to fill a last minute cancellation, and was not recorded through Charlie Nehr's nice recording rig like the other sets.  David Bell did, however, catch it on his thingus- er, ahem- on his RECORDER, rather.  There are only two more Undercurrent shows left (this month's installment featuring Kevin Harris, John Tamm-Buckle, NNNathan Cook, Charles Evans, and Britches is in a scant two days!), so we're rolling out this and a few other choice morsels we've been sitting on, as we intend to go out with a bang!  Still plenty of surprises left, so make sure you're there to witness them!

Sacramento based comedian and friend of the show Keith Lowell Jensen (see PP episode 22), has a new cd & dvd "Atheist Christmas", available November 25th on Stand Up! Records.  Here's the first track as a sneak peek, to preorder "Atheist Christmas" or to check out any of his older offerings, go to http://keithlowelljensen.blogspot.com/Stuff them stockings, kids.

Everyone's favorite stuffed dog/human slave noise duo, Kingston Family Singers, once again let loose their proprietary blend of improvisational audio-visual brainwave control at Lemp for the last stop of their summer tour with Peter J. Woods.  Dingus was on hand to document the occasion and harness your brain by proxy on their behalf.  If you just can't get enough of this schtuff, head on over to https://maxcorpindustries.bandcamp.com/ and download away, or come on out to the Schlafly Tap Room next Thursday (9/25) and witness KFS in person, as they lay down their slab of sound at the next installment of Undercurrent.

So, you may have missed it with all the commotion the last couple of weeks, but our very good friend Brad Schumacher aka Night Grinder, recently relocated to Denver from St. Louis, has released a smoking hot new album entitled "Immediate Content".  It's noise, it's techno, it's fusion, it's uncategorizable, and most of all it's GROOVY AS FUCK.  You can purchase a digital copy (in your choice of file format) for $8 at https://thenightgrinder.bandcamp.com/ however, if you like vinyl, spend at least $12 on it and Brad will send you a copy of the LP when it's done in a month or two (offer good for pre-orders only, it'll be $15 once the record is out, so act now).  He's graciously given us the entirety of Side B of the LP for your previewing pleasure.  Enjoy:Track Listing:Gnome StationScuzz PracticeMean MugginStreet Justice ISpirit of 96Big Crush

It already seems like it has been ages and ages since NOISECAMP, even though we only powered down the Noisedonut™ and left Interfuse a mere 24 days ago.  Here is the first audio selection from the second iteration of our experimental foray into mass punitive sonic endurance and synchronistic audience participation.  This recording took place shortly before the effigy burn on Saturday, as our section of campground was still reeling and winding down from a massive "all comers" jam session.  Brad was holding it down on the cracklethumps when Annie poked her head into the dome investigating a rumored trumpet sighting in the vicinity.  The rest of the story kind of writes itself- another random joyous moment of experimentation, brought to you by adventurous hearts and dumb luck.  Stay tuned for more tales of NOISECAMP to come, there were many unexpected moments of discovery such as this, each one of them alone well worth the effort...
