This weekend's iota openers:
Friday- the "fabulous and daring" Spottiswoode and his Enemies
-from "performing songwriter.com":
quote:
Spottiswoode & His Enemies
Produced by Teddy Kumpel
Jonathan Spottiswoode is downright weird. And that’s meant as the sincerest of compliments. The howling, broken, Bone Machine-esque intro to “Rattle the Bars” sets the tone for this distinctly skewed record that could best be described as Peter Murphy and Jello Biafra leading the Velvet Underground through a panorama of Franz Kafka’s worst nightmares. With the ghost of John Philip Sousa conducting.
Spottiswoode and his band, as well as this record, are nigh on impossible to categorize. They’re brilliantly unreviewable, thick, disturbed and haunted. There are horn sections, off-kilter bass, roiling guitars, a man in a wedding dress …
Simultaneously inspiring and repellent, reveling in its pretentiousness, this record never takes itself too seriously but demands seriousness of its listener. This CD ranges from dark existentialist chaos to focused, almost-pretty balladry without betraying its singularly smart, tormented vision.
This is music to champion. Even if you’re not quite sure why.
Saturday- " the sassy and snappy " Emptys[This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 20 February 2002 at 09:55 AM.] |
