This
week's Other Rock Show info for your investigation:
About
the show - rock, Jim, but not as we know it. The Other Rock Show follows
the rule of: if it's in 4/4 all the way through, it ain't getting in. OK,
sometimes one gets played in the in the interests of fairness, or because
its sneakily imaginative... or just to be contrary. So it doesn't
matter if its avant, progressive or math rock, thrash, death, folk, punk,
cheese, chalk, whatever flavour of sound you want to pin a name to - if
its got some kind of structure, and the structure breaks away from our
bizarre Western four beat verse chorus blah obsession, and (important!)
it's a bit special, its welcome. Rules can set you free! (Oh, and
we like it even better if its new - there's an amazing groundswell of adventurous
music going on out there, but it still needs all the help it can get to
reach our ears).
SLEEPYTIME
GORILLA MUSEUM are a splendid Californian outfit, descended from the
legendary Idiot Flesh, with a growing cult following. 'Ossuary' is from
their forthcoming album 'In Glorious Times' - more details from www.theendrecords.com
and www.sleepytimegorillamuseum.com
.
FARAQUET
– A rather fine slice from the Washington D.C three piece band – www.outersound.com/band/faraquet/home/html
DEERHOOF
are good for you, a dose of Deerhoof in the morning keeps you smiling all
day. This from last year's instant classic album The Runners Four - www.myspace.com/deerhoof
or deerhoof.killrockstars.com
MORVISCOUS
are a London based collective with an admirable and rare Canterbury Scene
influence delivered with contemporary welly. Worth catching live,
look out for them and this cracking forthcoming album 'Free Pop', not out
until July 2nd though - www.morviscous.com
Also
from London END OF LEVEL BOSS have been described as 'the missing
link between Voivod's sense for outstanding metal structures and Kyuss's
blend of warm and blastin' riffs' - not a bad description. This from new
album 'Inside The Difference Engine' out on Exile On Mainstream Records
(dist by Southern) on 21st May. Lots more info at www.eolb.com
WILLIAM
D DRAKE was keyboard player/composer in Cardiacs, this wonderful track
from his strange and lovely solo album out now called 'Briny Hooves' on
sheBear records - www.williamddrake.com
Followed
by the apparantly totally unrelated BOB DRAKE who was a guitar and
keyboard player/composer in Thinking Plague and has lots of fine downloads
from across his exceptional and criminally unheard of albums at www.bdrak.com
This
SALLE
GAVEAU track was a download from the website up by the organisers of
that splendid Rock In Opposition festival in France a few weeks ago - the
one with lots of things like Magma, Presence, Faust, Guapo and yes I would
have liked to go rather so stop telling me how lovely it was you gits.
Anyway, loads of revelatory downloads from here, go hoover em up while
you can - www.rocktime.org/rio
LITE
are a four-piece from Tokyo; described as the atmospheric link between
Mogwai and Battles/ Don Caballero... good stuff. Find out more about them
via www.lite-web.com - their album
'Filmlets' arrived late last year whilst we were off air, good to catch
up with them.
Released
in the UK by Transduction Records, Birmingham www.transductionrecords.com
A timely
outing for CARDIACS' mysterious and magnificent 'Jitterbug' from
their album 'Guns' (and the compilation 'Cardiacs And Affectionate Friends'
that you can get from us here at ORG)
- more soon. www.cardiacs.com
Another
play for this splendid rendition of 'Biblical Violence' by the astonishing
HELLA,
in session for The Airplay Show, WNUR 89.3FM radio Chicago in 2002 - www.hellaband.com
The
Charming DAS WANDERLUST are based in Middlesbrough UK, so no doubt
Sean will add some curious aside about Smog Creatures at this point.
This was from their next single, out on 21st May on Fierce Panda offshoot
Cool For Cats - three tracks including one happily entitled 'Supermarkets
Vs Greengrocers' . www.myspace.com/daswanderlust
Good
hunting/listnin, Marina Organ
