A C Newman + Dent May at Neumo’s, Seattle | 21 February 2008
AC Newman's Quantum Leap

One might wonder why Carl Newman needs to make solo records, when he’s pretty much the boss of his band the New Pornographers.  Actually I’m on of those wonderers, especially with his second solo record Get Guilty.  It has the Neko Case harmonies and of course Newman’s songs and voice and it’s not a whole lot different from a New Pornographers records except there are no Dan Bejar or Neko Case songs.  The gig was billed as A.C. Newman, but Newman’s band had as many people in his band as if he was traveling with New Pornographers, with violinist and bassist providing harmonies.  His second solo record Get Guilty has a more mellow Zombies feel to it where his first one The Slow Wonder had a more early Elvis Costello new wave feel to it.  Last night he gave both albums equal attention, interspersing songs from the Slow Wonder to pep up the set with the slower more harmony centric songs from Get Guilty.

Though he currently resides in Brooklyn, Newman is from just up the road in Vancouver, BC.   He also has more than just a geographical connection to Seattle, his former band Zumpano put out two very good records on Sub Pop back in the 90′s. So it’s very likely he’s spent a fair amount of time in Seattle, and he charmed the Neumo’s crowd reminiscing back to when the place was simply called Mo’s.  He also had a funny story about the song Come Crash, telling how it is coincidentally about a girl with the same name as his wife, and then divulging how his mother-in-law is a huge Scott Bakula fan.  This got a big laugh, which makes me wonder if there is some connection between A.C. Newman fans and Quantum Leap. It wasn’t a quantum leap from New Pornographers, but Newman and his band sounded tight, lighting up the songs from the new record making them really crack.   Though the Get Guilty songs sounded great, it was the Slow Wonder ones that were the highlights of the night for me, putting me in the camp of still being a bigger fan of his first solo record.

Set List: There Are Maybe Ten or Twelve | Miracle Drug | Like a Hitman, Like a Dancer | Prophets | Secretarial |The Heartbreak Rides | The Cloud Prayer | The Palace at 4 am | All of My Days and All of My Days Off |Young Atlantis | Drink to Me, Babe, Then | The Collected Works | Come Crash | The Changeling (Get Guilty) | Submarines of Stockholm | On the Table | -encore- The Town Halo

Dent May with his new magnificent ukulele

Dent May was sporting a brand new magnificent ukulele last night at Neumo’s.  He told us he had just purchased here in the emerald city and it required much tuning.  Dent tunes his ukulele without the aid of electronic tuners, he prefers his own voice and the age old ukulele tuning tune of My Dog Has Flees.  May and his band played a solid, fun-filled set.  After getting a look at Dent and his big oval spectacles, one might think what he’s doing is sort of tongue and cheek, but Dent and his band played a very un-ironic set.  Dent band consisted of guitar, bass and drums, but I found myself missing the pedal steel, tin pan alley horns in places, but his guitarist and bassist provided the wonderful yesteryear harmonies which are the most essential to his sound.  And of course Dent didn’t put down his uke once.  Like on his record, May is a crooner with a voice that transports his songs to another time.  He made Prince’s When You Were Mine sound as if he had written it, and his own songs like Howard, College Town Boy and You Can’t Start a Dance Party had the place dancing.  It was a great set, only it was missing my favorite Dent song, God Loves You, Michael Chang.  It was on the set list, but for one reason or another he decided to skip it.  Dent May and His Magnificent Ukulele will be back in a few months to play Sasquatch, maybe he’ll play Michael Change there?

Set List: Oh Paris! | Howard | 26 Miles (Santa Catalina) | College Town Boy | Eastover Wivez | You Can’t Force a Dance Party | I’m an Alcoholic | When You Were Mine | Love Song 2009 | Meet Me In the Garden

Slow Dance with Jeremy Jay

smooth, slow dancing guy jeremy jay
A couple years ago I bought a Jeremy Jay 7 inch on K called We Were There.  It was a slice of pure synthpop joy with Jay sounding like Gary Numan and OMD all rolled up into one.  Last year I picked up his album A Place Where We Could Go in anticipation of getting more of the same.  That record was kind of a let down based on my expectations from the single.  It wasn’t a bad record, but there were hardly any synths on it, instead leaning more towards the folk of Jens Lekman, with a little flamboyance of Patrick Wolf.

With his new record Slow Dance the synth has returned, at least in the lead off track which is  We Were There that same song he put out as a single two years ago.  It’s not the only blatently 80′s sounding song on the record.  The Numan-Flock of Seaguls-OMD synths are prevalent throughout, but the never seem to be too over the top.  Jay tempers his 80′s infatuation with 50′s style swoon, Angelo Badalamenti and even a little spaghetti western.  Slow Dance easily avoids the sophomore slump curse, in fact this record easily bettering his previous one.  It is kind of frontloaded with the three best songs leading off the record., but the more I listen to the more I’m growing into less obvious songs like the title track and Will You Dance With Me?  Jay kind of settles in after that with the middle few songs sounding a bit alike.  He  perks up a little at the end with Breaking the Ice and the closer Where Could We Go Tonight.  The latter is full of cheesy 80′s synths, being played over top of cracking  guitar riff.

Goth Girls

The last time I checked there wasn’t a goth revival happening, well the Sisters of Mercy are back together and Joy Division have never been more popular, but there doesn’t seem to be  a ton of bands aping that style so much these days.  Maybe I’m on to something here, a new goth revival?  Lolligags anyone? I doubt it, and in the Lolligags case they sound goth, but certainly don’t look goth.  Their sound verges towards the synth heavy goth sound,and being from Athens, Georgia, (at least half of them) you might be inclined to say they have taken the B-52′s influences and colored them with a black crayola crayon.   It’s very poppy in a  Dead or Alive or a Missing Persons quasi-goth way, or even the Cure with the plunging bass line on All the Deer Daughters.  Their songs have an overtly dance-y element to them, but Dallion’s voice has this wounded quality to it that gives you the impression that the music may sound fun, but there’s something dark beneath the surface.  On paper the Lolligags certainly wouldn’t be considered goth, but form me it’s one of those je ne sais quoi things that are difficult to explain.  The sum of the Lolligags is certainlyy much more than the individual parts.  The band currently have two ep’s both on Athens based label Happy Happy Birthday To Me,  with the latest called Out of Perversity Join Hands.

mp3: Lolligags – Sister Lover


buy:  Out of Perversity We Join Hands

The second band in my anecdotal goth resurgence post is Los Angeles band Blue Jungle.  They are a five piece who seem to evoke the more primal goth sound.  Though based in L.A. the band hail from all corners of South America.  (dark gothic) blue jungleThey’ve got a killer sound that has bits of Altered Images, Lick the Tins, Siouxsie, X and the Cramps.  Singer Lately Blu Blu has a crazy innocent sounding yet all too knowing voice and the band definitely know their way around a pop hook.  Blue Jungle being based in the entertainment capitol of the world and all,  I can’t believe that they’ve had to essentially self-release their record.  Ten years ago labels would have been banging down their door to put this out. Oh how times have changed.  No matter, taking matters into their own hands they’ve just released their first album on Anti Fiesta Records, it’s called Baby Don’t Cry and if you hurry you can probably still get 1 of the only 500 vinyl copies the band pressed.

Fine Arts Showcase Make a Dolophine Smile

The Fine Arts Showcase

Gustaf Kjellvander and his Fine Arts Showcase return in March with album number four and it’s a return to singing his own songs.  Previous album Fine Arts Showcase Sings Rough Bunnies was an entire record dedicated to the primitive genius of Swedish garage band the Rough Bunnies, it was great, but didn’t feel like a proper Fine Arts Showcase album.  Not so this time, Gustaf is back with 10 new songs and a proper FAS album.  It’s been deemed a breakup record by Gustaf himself, who apparently broke up with his girlfriend while writing the songs for the album.  At one point the working title of the record was Capitalism Hates the Fine Arts Showcase because they were having trouble raising the cashola to record it, but they reconsiderd and are calling it Dolophine Smile.    One of the songs from it , Friday On My Knees  is currently available on a 12 inch from Adrian Recordings and another one has been made available as a free download.  The album according to the Adrianne website is out on 25 March, but It’s a Trap says it’s out next week on 18 February.  While you’re guessing which one is correct, here’s London My Town.

Juana Molina at the Triple Door, Seattle | 10 February 2009

Juana Molina at the Triple Door, Seattle

This show was being billed as the first time Argentinian actor turned maestro, Juana Molina was visiting with a band in tow. Truth be told, she doesn’t need a band, she is a band. Her rig was set up on stage right with a drum machine, keyboards, looping pedals, as well as various other pedals, knobs and wires. She was accompanied by bass and drums played by two fellows she had only met four days prior. Most of the evening you had to strain to hear the live bass and drums. She may have a band with her this time, but the show is entirely Juana Molina as she clearly demonstrated when her band left the stage mid-set allowing her to go it alone for ¿Quién? (Suite) .

She appeared on stage with a slight smile and immediately started weaving her electronic magic with the title track to her latest album Un Dia which transitioned into the album’s second song Vive Solo. Watching Ms. Molina concoct her trance inducing cornucopias of sound is truly a wonder to behold. She makes it look like she’s just tossing it off, a little guitar loop to start, programming in a drum beat, then looping a couple vocal tracks on top. I’ve seen this done before, but she pulled if off with aplomb. Even when she didn’t, like on the encore, where she messed up one of the loops, she started singing improvised lyrics about how she screwed up the track, and having to fix it. I’m not sure how many people noticed the loop error, her improvised lyric, or her quick fix, but she did it all without ever stopping the song.

Just watching her at work like some kind of mad scientist might have in and of itself been entertainment for some, but the layered and textured songs that she create went above and beyond what you hear on her records. On cd,  many of the songs have a minimalist feel to them leaving space for the listener, last night with the help of the Triple Door’s excellent acoustics, she filled the room with a mind altering melange of sound. Songs would take on lives of their own, some even inducing trance-like states in the audience. Parts would remind me of Stereolab, Astrud Gilberto, Samba, and then Acid House, or Goa Trance.  Molina creates a mood and altered state of being with her voice, guitar and loop pedals. That mood or altered state is not all together very different from what shoegaze bands like Deerhunter/Atlas Sound, My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive have done with guitars and effects pedals, but no one is doing this kind of thing employing the tools that she does.

My only quip about the gig, was that after a while, I wanted her to play the guitar riff for the entire song, to see where she might take it. This is where a she could really improvise with a full band playing everything live and off of one another. That is a very minor complaint, though.  Juana Molina is clearly a master a creating sound collages on the spot, with ease and to amazing effect!

Box Elders Return

Box Elders at the Funhouse, Seattle | 9 February 2009
Box Elders at the Funhouse, Seattle
They returned to Seattle at least.  Everyone is anxiously awaiting a new Box Elders record these days, but lucky for Seattle the band were doing a short swing through the northwest and returned to the Funhouse Monday night. What a difference seven months make!  They sounded much tighter and actually seemed to add a bit of finesse to the songs.  There was no fire shooting from their guitars this time, but the songs jumped out at me like sparks.  Dave Goldberg is still a madman behind the drums, holding one stick in his mouth while he plays the keyboard and drums at the same time, and Clayton was dressed in sparkling silver jacket and a speedo.  They pleased everyone with Whole in My Head and One Foot in Front of the Other from the Grotto 7 inch, but all the new songs were just as good.  As far as I’m concerned they can’t put out another record soon enough.

So where is their next record coming from?   For starters, they have a 7 inch coming out as part of the HoZac Hookup Klub series, join up if you haven’t already.  It’s 65$ for 10 records delivered to your doorstep.  They’re also promising an album sometime in May.  Word on the street is that it’s getting put out by Goner Records down in Memphis.  I had heard some rumors that Box Elders might be signing to Matador, but got the full story from the band after the show.  It’ Goner in May with a full album!  I’ve posted this before, but it’s so good, here it is again.

mp3: Box Elders – Hole in My Head (from the Grotto 7 inch – currently OOP, but being repressed.)


Funny story, after the Box Eder’s set, bassist Clayton was going to have to leave the Funhouse because he’s only 19.  So the next band Dinosaur and the Missing Link let him play tambourine for their set, which allowed him to stick around.  Dinosaur and the Missing Link are normally a duo of guitar and drums, but this night they had Clayton from the Box Elders who was still dressed in his speedo and silver jacket  on tambourine.  By the third song he was on the ground writhing about…and playing the tambourine of course.

answering machine are not here, they're out shopping for clothes.

It’s been some time since we heard from Manchester’s the Answering Machine.  I kept expecting an album from them last year but they stayed in hibernation for most of last year, holed up in some cave recording their debut long player with producer Dave Eringa (Idlewild & Manic Street Preachers). Well it looks like they’re finally done with it and the first fruits of the record are getting to see the light of day.

Since we last visited the Answering Machine, they’ve become a four piece band, adding drummer Ben Perry, though they say that they’re still using their drum machine which they lovingly call Mustafa Beat.  The first single from the album is called Cliffer, and like previous singles it’s high octane pop but this time with a bit more octane.  Their big time producer Eringa tweak sounds like he has tweaked their sound so it’s more compressed and compact.   The difference is noticeable, but not a bad thing from what I’ve heard and combined with their new real drummer it seems to really pop out of the stereo.  They seem to get a lot of Strokes comparisons, and I kind of hear that in the guitar, but I think that their new sleeker sound has a Maximo Park feel to it.  Not to worry though they also still have their weirder elements  that remind me a little of  Urusei Yatsura, and  Los Campesinos.  The single comes out as a 7 inch on 9 March with the album entitled Another City, Another Sorry following some time in May on the still wet behind the ears (ie. brand new) label Heist or Hit some time in May.  In the meantime the band have leaked  the title track from their new record.

Obits in Seattle

Tags: , , ,

The Obits at some abandoned restaurant in Seattle.

Apparently the Obits were in town strategicating with their label about the upcoming release of their debut long player due on 24 March on Sub Pop.  They must have been really itching to play because they took over a half-constructed restaurant dubbed Fen’s Party Palace in the ID and threw what to amounted to a big house party.   There was no cover, no stage, no bar (bring your own beverage),  a single dangling light bulb for light and a fiery, take no prisoners set from the band.  Fen’s was very full, especially  considering the circumstances of  a Monday night, no promotion and vague location details.  I’m guessing when they return for  their May 16th date at Neumo’s, it will be packed.

Probably the most recognizable thing about the Obits is Rick Froberg’s angst ridden, screaming drawl.  Froberg’s former bands, though never insanely popular, each of them (Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes) definitely garnered  rabid cult followings with their complex and aggressive sounds.  In all of  his former bands Froberg’s foil was guitarist John Reis (who also fronted Rocket From the Crypt and now is in the Night Marchers). In the Obits, Froberg’s foil is Sohrab Habibion formerly of  Washington, DC band Edsel.  Back when I used to live in the nation’s capitol, Edsel were one of my favorite DC bands. They never really fit in with the Slumberland, Teenbeat, Dischord or Simple Machines scenes, don’t get me wrong, they were rooted in the DC scene, but their taste for UK post punk made them stand out from the hard core or indie pop scenes and set them apart in my mind. Edsel was fronted by Sohrab Habibian and Steve Raskin, they both sang and played guitar.  The guitars and voices played off of one another whirling it all into tight tense songs.

Going back and listening to both Hot Snakes and Edsel you can really hear the similarities in how the guitars play off of one another.    Dueling guitars seemed to dominate in both bands so it’s pretty damn cool that these two guys are in a band together.  Last night the PA was non existent so Froberg’s voice was difficult to make out and on the song Habibion sang it was doubly so, but it didn’t really matter,  the Obits were lighting up the room with their playing.  Froberg’s guitar played the straight man most of the night, while Habibion’s danced around at odd obtuse angles.  The Obits’ guitar interplay relies heavily on its super tight rhythm section.  Greg Simpson looks like he owns the bass, even when it’s not his own and drummer Scott Gursky exuded power and control even while drumming with a maraca. The set got off to a dubious start when Simpson broke a string during the first song, the  Unnatural Helpers (naturally) offered up their bass to set things right again.   As I said, the vocals were low in the ‘mix’, but the songs jumped out at you.  So much so that they could have all been instrumentals and the set still would have killed.  They did both songs from the currently sold out Stint 7 inch which are both excellent, but they weren’t even the highlights of the set.  Definitely looking ahead to 24 March  when the full length hits the streets!

The Stranger, Seattle Weekly and Seattle Sound were also at the show.

Just what the world needed, me talking about music, instead of writing about it.    For some sycophantic reason, I’ve been wanting to do a podcast for a while and well, I’ve finally I gone and done it.  It’s racked with uhms, ahhs and mistakes, like when I say that the British Sea Power brothers are in the Brakes.  I’m too lazy to go back and fix it to say that it’s the Electric Soft Parade Brothers.  I’m sure you guys could care less anyway, mistakes are punk rock, no?  We’re keepin’ it real and raw, no second takes going on around here!  This was done in the basement of my house and you can even hear the furnace coming on in the background!  So without any further hemming and hawing here it is, the basementcast.  Feel free to fast forward.
