DUDES! I will hafta miss this show because I gotta hella-cruz with Slutty Sing Sings down to L.A. for burritos and basketball with Times New Viking and Little Claw.
If you had fun at any Feats of Strength shows, I know that you will love this show. Sol+Jon are a new thing outta Davis that sounds way good on CD...seriously! Didi Mao plays up the Russian folkdance thing more so even that Strip Mall Seizures...you gotta like that! It's so unique in these days to hear that element in your noisy/rocky/DIY stew.
But the topper for me on this show is Social Junk. That band is seriously awesome!!!
Micose & the Mau Maus - "Micose and the Mau Maus is the amorphous sound project of Miguel Serra based in San Francisco. It sounds like some kind of bizarre digital age tribalism, which uses folk instruments and dissolves them in chirping tones. Rhythm arrives and then fades into squelches. Like venturing into an audio jungle full of calm musical clearings preceded by dense sound overgrowth. Micose and the Mau Maus is an extraterrestrial interpretation of sound, the familiar running astride with the completely foreign." - Nightpass
Social Junk - noiserockers from KY and WV
didi mao - awesome rock group which features members of Strip Mall Seizures, Full Moon Partisans, TSA, and Micose and the Mau Maus.
Sol+Jon=Yes! - Solomon Bothwell makes electronic noise (with homemade circuits and contact mics) and Jon Bafus (Sholi) adds percussion, using a drumkit complete with electronic circuits, sheet metal, kitchen utensils, and crushed soda cans.
