More Gogol Bordello noise

Here is another short sound clip from the show...

Gogol Bordello at Blank Club, SJ - a photoset on Flickr

This was a tremendous show. They put so much energy out. Many impassioned dancers in the crowd. Including yours truly. I wish my knee was 100% so I could really let go, but it was still a catharsis.



Here is a short sound clip from the show...

blank club saturday night 7/2 be there

Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brecht-ian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the Birthday Party and Einstürzande Neubauten in his native Ukraine. After being evacuated to Western Ukraine in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster, Hütz became enamored of the mystical, outsider qualities of gypsy music. Living as a refugee in Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Italy before moving to the United States in 1993, he experienced life as an outsider himself. After arriving in New York, he teamed up with guitarist Vlad Solofar and squeezebox player Sasha Kazatchkoff. American Eliot Fergusen added a strong rock sound on the drums and the band was also augmented by Sergei Riabtsev on fiddle, a former theater director from Moscow whose past experience would prove helpful in the future in crafting Gogol Bordello's bizarre stage shows (like one which tells the story of super-powered immigrant Ukrainian vampires). The group's early gigs involved playing straight gypsy music at Russian weddings, but their music soon evolved into the hyper-kinetic explosions that earned them a solid following amongst New York's downtown hipsters. The band issued a single in 1999 entitled When the Trickster Comes a Pokin', quickly followed by their debut full-length, Voi-La Intruder, which was produced by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' drummer Jim Sclavunos. Solofar and Kazatchkoff were replaced by accordionist Yuri Lemeshev, who hails from the Russian island of Sakhalin, and two Israelis, guitarist Oren Kaplan and saxophonist Ori Kaplan, who despite their similar names were not related. Hütz helped bolster the band's popularity by becoming somewhat of a celebrity in the downtown scene, in part fueled by his Thursday night DJ gigs at Bulgarian club/restaurant/bar Mehanata, where he played Ukrainian, Gypsy, raï, and flamenco music for a crowd of artists, models, Ukrainians, Russians, Gypsies, and Bulgarians with tendencies toward exuberant dancing and smashing plates. In the spring of 2002, Gogol Bordello embarked on a European tour and performed as part of the Whitney Biennial, bringing their music to a whole new audience.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SHOW IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT - THANK YOU! 

They are true punk pioneers of the genre as they've toured every corner of the globe several times over and have insisted on holding true to their punk ethics. No band has achieved more success independently, and they've done it all without help from MTV or any other aspect of the corporate rock industry. Although they're reluctant to admit it, they're musically influenced by bands like Bad Religion, Misfits, RKL, etc. At least they were back in in the day, now they do all the influencing.

The Slackers sound is pure roots, but still innovative. While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music through an American lens. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, 60's soul, rock, and R & B as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub and ska. It is as if the Rolling Stones or the Yardbirds had grown up on Bob Marley as well as Muddy Waters.

MTX (known by the long-form The Mr. T Experience) has been a ferociously inventive band since their 1986 self-released debut album, "Everyone's Entitled To Their Own Opinion." 10 albums and over 200,000 in sales later, MTX is still better at what they do than anyone else. What began as a Brit-influenced art punk band became one of the earliest and most compelling pop punk bands of all time. MTX has kept growing over the years, pushing pop songwriting and arranging as a post-pop punk rock band. The 13 songs of their latest release "Yesterday Rules" sounds like what they are: the creation of a songwriter who has created and mastered genres and is at the height of his powers. Dr. Frank's songs are so consistently catchy and witty that is almost easy to take the output of his remarkable band for granted. But to do so and miss out on the amazing new songs would be a mistake!

Matt is in bed. Lynn is in La Jolla with Eleanor.
Bailey's on the rock when I don't really need more. Tastes good.
THE EYES OF MAY is a photo project I have assigned myself starting 5/28/2005.
I only have 1 or 2 (if I bend the rules) days left. People I will look for tomorrow and next day are
Bev, Brenda, Betty, Shirla, Ashley, Richard, Nanette, Precy, Ian, Gene, Juni, Kioko, others.

Eleanor fractured her pelvis last Sunday. Lynn has been down there for the past week. I want Eleanor to get better, and Lynn to come home. I miss salad.

Really, really, looking forward to Monkey at The Blank Club this Friday [6/3/2005]

Monkey Party in plain text

I've increased the depth of my email list considerably for this
event, to support a very good local band. If you haven't heard from
me for awhile and don''t want to again, let me know or just ignore it.

WestBound Train is playing some California dates in mid-June. I
don't know if they will make it to NorCal. They were really good
last year. This Friday at the Blank Club should be great. Uprite
Dub Orchestra has been added to the line-up. Some info about them is
pasted in at the end. Sounds like music even an inebriated middle
aged man with a bum knee could dance to! Come out and find out.

Uprite Dub Orchestra

Band Name
Uprite Dub Orchestra
Type of Music
Funk
City/State of Origin
Portland, OR
Web Site
http://upritedub.com

Uprite Dub Orchestra is a six-member band featuring a solid rhythm
section of guitar, bass and drum kit complemented by tenor sax,
trombone, and trumpet with occasional appearances of keyboards,
melodica, and the upright bass. Drawn together by their love of
instrumental music and the lengths to which it can be explored, the
Uprite dub sound is a cross breed of Jamaican beats loosely based in
the dub styles pioneered at Channel 1 studios and Lee Perry’s Black
Ark. In late August 2001, founders Ryan Bley and Brandon Hutson had a
vision inspired by the likes of Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, The
Skatalites, The Specials and Sublime.

Brandon and Ryan recruited some good friends and fellow musicians and
formed the Uprite dub Orchestra. Finding the other members of the
band was not a problem, as all the members of the band were from Mt.
Hood Community College's Jazz Band, with the exception of Jeremy who
played together with Ryan in a band from Spokane, WA called Longview.
The lineup features Taylor Aglipay on Tenor Sax and Guitar, Jeremy
Jauchius on Guitar, Mike Montgomery on Drums, Justin Partney on
Trumpet and Keys, Brandon Hutson on Trombone, Keys and Melodica, and
Ryan Bley on Upright and Electric Basses. Uprite dub Orchestra
officially formed in December of 2001.

After a few months of practice, their first gig was the Red and Black
Cafe in Portland, OR on February 12, 2002 with the Hip Hop group
Money & Lovin'. Soon after, the band had polished off a few tunes
around March of 2002. Along with Money & Lovin’ they founded and co-
hosted a weekly night of Dub and Hip hop featuring the finest Djs and
artists from the local Portland metro area at the Mount Tabor Pub,
the Tuesday Night Special. Uprite dub Orchestra also performed at the
“Land and Freedom” benefit concert for Dignity Village, a tent city
transition for the homeless. Inspired by the plight of Dignity
Village, Uprite dub composed and dedicated a song entitled "Land &
Freedom Dub”. In March '03 along with Universal Roots Records shop,
Uprite hosted a monthly series called “Kulcha fi de Massive” which
featured Uprite dub as well the best reggae, dub, and dancehall
Portland had to offer such as Roots Revolution, Instigators,
Earthforce, Alter Echo and DJs Cansaman and Magneto.

The song list from Uprite dub Orchestra stretches from tight
arrangements of Augustus Pablo and Don Drummond songs; with the
original sweet horn harmonies, to fresh original material; tales of
struggle, oppression, and freedom from the Machine. Be it Dub Reggae,
Ska, or Hip-hop; Uprite dub Orchestra knows how to “get the party
started right”.

You can get it, if you really want it

Desmond Dekker is playing at Slim's in SF tomorrow, Thursday.

 

He has been playing ska for nearly 40 years, and tours the US very rarely.

 

One of his big hits (You can get it...) is being used in a recent Prius car commercial.  His original release of the song was in 1972 for the Jimmy Cliff movie THE HARDER THEY COME.

Movie of CTM moving leg after ACL surgery

I had ACL surgery by Dr. Warren King on Wednesday 4/6/05. I took this 1 minute video of the machine which kept my leg moving so it wouldn't form so much scar tissue.

This guy has taken some very nice photos
I like FLICKR alot. Check out my sidebar for a link to my photos on FLICKER.
