First off, some Los Angeles-based gossip for those of you in the Southland:
1. Oliver Lieb will be in town at the end of the month, playing a live
(presumably ambient) set at Public Space on April 26th at Galaxa on Sunset
in Silverlake. He'll also be performing at a rave called Lotus the next
night along with Freaky Chakra vs. Single Cell Orchestra.
2. URB Magazine is bringing out Goldie and Doc Scott from May 8-11 (I
think). This should include (hopefully) a Thursday night appearance at
Metropolis in Irvine, a Friday night gig in San Francisco, and a Saturday
night party in Los Angeles. Word has it that not only is he marrying
Bjork (it was on MTV and everything, if you can believe that), but he is
about to star in a television program in England.
Other random bits:
1. Andrea Parker's Rocking Chair EP should be out in early May, recorded
with the assistance of 40 members of London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Her album, which she describes as being a "cross-over" release, will be
half-electronic, half-live, with lyrics and vocals penned and sung all on
her own. She doesn't think it will be out before the fall.
2. There's a new club in San Francisco for enthusiasts of the various
styles of "intelligent music" that we discuss on this list. It's called
Techsture and it's on Sunday nights at Cafe Abir -- 1300 Fulton at
Divisadero, 8p-12a, FREE, Info: 415.974.4358. Resident DJs are Tomas
and Markus with weekly guests. If you are in town on Sunday, April 21,
I will be spinning alongside L.A.'s fabulous DJ Jun, so try to come
check it out. Of course, if you haven't checked out MAD on Monday nights
at the Bahia (still going on, Joe?), you're missing out on some killer
Detroit techno, electro, and whatever the DJs are in the mood for.
Boy, I feel like a salesperson...
