Monday 2011 06 13 Brendan Perry @ El Rey Theatre. Amazing performance. His last time there was November 1999. I brought my mother with me then and did this evening. Lisa G, Agnieszka, Rob Vogel and Oscar were among our crew... Gabe, Rocky and Naren were also in close proximity. Lots of old Dead Can Dance songs performed. Robin Guthrie joined Brendan to cover the This Mortal Recoil version of Tim Buckley's "Song To The Siren". After the show, I wound up standing next to Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard!!!! I work with lots of artists but there is magic with those two. It is nearly religious. Good to see Darren Revell and Chaim as well!
Modeselektor has been releasing excellently exciting music for nearly 15 years. This Berlin based duo, has worked with amazing artists including Thom Yorke (of Radiohead) and Apparat. Tonight they finally play LA, at the EL REY Theatre!!! I am excited !
I am a fan of both Tesla and Mario Bros. and here we have twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils sparking over twelve feet of electrical current to the tune of the famous video game theme. This video was recorded at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
Btw, Teslathon? I love the ring of that... it would certainly put a twist on the ole Jerry Lewis Telethon. Perhaps if they combined the two, there would be greater financial support to the kids in need.
While on the topic of "Fun", tonight is another performance of Boom Chick Boom: Peep This! The female comedy group will set the audience on a wild ride for an hour of hilarity! More information over here.

Holy Moses and the lil baby jesus! I am very excited to go see BEATS ANTIQUE & BASSNECTAR at The El Rey Theatre tonight.... I am truly hoping there is a major delay as I am about to leave for work @ Universal Studios now and complete around 10pm.... anyhow.... I have been a huge fan of BEATS ANTIQUE for some time now... Their first album was excellent and their recent album, COLLIDE, continues with their magical blend of tribal rhythms, bellydance friendly world grooves and electronic bliss but now with the essence of ragtime! (Just like the refreshing lemon scent of dishwashing fluid commercials) This music is not dissimilar to Red Light District, which I happen to also enjoy for good reason.
I am also looking fwd to seeing the live audio delights from BASSNECTAR, who is headlining. There are some SICK videos of him on youtube, however I am sharing a video featured on his myspace home. I could go on about his work but due to time limitations, here is a press piece on him.
"A freeform project that merges music, art, new media, social involvement, and community values; dedicated to a constantly-evolving ethos of collaborative creation, self-reinvention, and boundary-pushing experimentation. While existing as a mutating collaborative effort, Bassnectar is traditionally the amorphous music project of Lorin Ashton, a San Francisco based Musician / Producer / DJ, (“probably the largest cult following of any DJ in San Francisco” – SF Weekly) highlighted by massive basslines, thick mob scene beats, freakshow energy, emotive melodics, traditional acoustic instrumentation, and fearless mashing of genres, styles, sounds, moods, and approaches. Fusing elements of midtempo breakbeats, big beat, old school hip hop and dub, DnB, glitch, IDM, electronica, death metal, grindcore, punk rock, alternative, folk, swing, and jazz; and sampling anything from the human history of sound and music, Bassnectar might be most accurately described as “omni-tempo maximalism."
If you would like to meet tonight and dance and enjoy the sounds, drop me a note, I will do my best to check messages. Enjoy the two videos below of Beats Antique filmed on this current tour and the recent single video for Bassnectar respectively.
