for those of you in the williamsburg, brooklyn, ny vicinity this
weekend, who might also be low on cash, there is something going on
that might interest you.
while various artists get tagged as "folktronica", no one can quite
decide what it is (like a lot of genres, i guess). ironically, when
i first heard the term, my band was already at work on our CD that
blended the "apocalyptic folk" we'd been working on with a more
electronica-sounding rhythmic structures, albeit still informed by
our industrial/ambient background. this is the combination that's
worked out best for our current live incarnation.
for those who like chilling out while laptop musicians tweak things
and abstract visuals are projected, there's another act on earlier
you might like.
SATURDAY, MAY 29
11pm: DREAM INTO DUST
Acoustic guitar, effect loops, and electronic percussion carry the
emotive tenor vocals of Derek Rush. The trio also features
experimental guitarist Bryin Dall (Loretta's Doll; Genesis
P-Orridge's Thee Majesty; backing experiments for Michael Gira's
Angels Of Light) and bassist Fredric Stesney. Since 1997, three CDs,
two 7' singles, and numerous compilation tracks have been released
and distributed by Misanthropy, World Serpent, Middle Pillar,
Athanor, and others. The live show currently focuses on the band's
dark folk side, filled in with industrialized beats, driving bass,
and washes of ambient noise.
