"Telling the truth is a dangerous business, honest and popular don't go hand in hand. If you admit you can play the accordian, noone will hire you in a rock 'n roll band"
The most fun and funky music video I've seen in a very, very long time. Includes brilliant artists such as Chaim Tannenbaum, Suzzy Roche and her daughter Lucy Wainwright Roche, Lucy's father Loudon Wainwright and Ana Egg. All signed to the brilliant StorySound Records. Enjoy!
04.14.17 Charlie Looker debuted his new ensemble at Knockdown Center in Maspeth. The group featured such luminaries as Kelly Moran (piano and synths), Russell Greenberg of Yarn/Wire (percussion), Caley Monahon-Ward (violin), Nate Wooley (trumpet), and for one piece, special guest sopranos Daisy Press and Megan Schubert. Along with Charlie’s distinctive vocal stylings I felt I heard the occasional echo of Peter Gabriel and Van Der Graaf Generator and one of his previous groups Seaven Teares. It was also punishingly loud.
The Austrian Cultural Forum commissioned a new work by Bernhard Lang which was premiered at that venerable institution this evening by the Argento Chamber Ensemble. The work was inspired by the unique architecture of the building that houses the ACF and to commemorate its ten year anniversary. It incorporated physical movements and gestures in the score which were carried out by the singer,soprano Daisy Press, the players and dancer Silke Grabinger. The 22 section piece, entitled "Monadologie XVIII" was wonderful. The video attached is one of Lang's other Monadologies.
"I feel like a song like "Shower Scene," which is literally the first song we ever wrote, is more in the vein of our new album musically, with the exception of the lyrics. It's a pretty straightforward, loud, drop-beat rock song and it's got this weird, like, off-kilter bridge, and it's pretty much exactly the way we'd want to write a song now. But, yeah, the songs like "Tommy Gun" and all those other songs on the record, it took us 10 years to reach the point where we're okay with it. You do something early on, and inevitably that's going to be something that you're either embarrassed about or that you don't feel connected to. I felt all of those things about music that we did in the past, but we had to realize that we're in a very unique situation. We literally have a documentation of our lives on record. You listen to our music consecutively, in chronological order, you can literally hear us growing into men" Jesse Lacey, spin 2009
