This was a crazy, overbooked night… Can you tell it’s the end of the year and I need a vacation!?
Despite the massive volume of bands, we heard some AMAZING new music and we all got home before dawn so, hey, not bad!
My favorites of the night were: Human Hands, Tusco Terror, DJ Dog Dick, Sisprum Vish, Casy James and Right Hand Band. It was kind of a folk/noise mash-up this night and it worked wonderfully, in my opinion.
Thanks to Kyle who helped keep everything on track (and sounding great) and also our new friend Hector, who helped watch the door and also shot some video (see below in he photos section). You guys are the best!
DON’T MISS THIS MONDAY NIGHT—IT’S THE LAST SEAN CARNAGE MONDAY SHOW OF THE YEAR!!!
Damo Suzuki has always been a huge hero of mine. He was the singer for Can on many (though not all) of their classic albums. I saw him perform in Cleveland, Ohio right before I moved to L.A. and talking to made me excited about traveling, new adventures, etc. This guy pretty much lives on the road. He also improvises all his performances which, after 35 years of jamming, is pretty amazing that he still has new and exciting things to say with his music.
Anyhow, his all star band at Safari Sam’s included avant-guitarist Nels Cline plus drummer Chris Guttmacher—two of my favorite players. Damo wailed and wailed… Eventually I had to leave to go home and sleep! But that night, I dreamt of weird Damo Suzuki worlds without language, only singing.
The opening bands were a better match for Damo then the sorta lame hippy bands I saw him with in Ohio. The Mae Shi had a gazillion members this night (well, Bill Gray and Marcus from Silver Daggers joined them… so that’s two extra players!) and the band did their standard set they’ve been playing lately. It sounded great, and there were a lot of new faces in the audience so that was cool.
Anavan also had a new member—Tyler from Totally Radd on drums. This didn’t alter the distinctive Anavan sound much. It just meant that Aaron was more free to sing and jump around than when he is stuck behind the kit all night.
Buko Pan Guerra’s new band Swords of Fatima was awesome! Buko is always popping out these great bands… I want to hear them again!
Enjoy the photos :)
Swords of Fatima!!! This is the new band from Monday Night all-star Buko…
