LAST MINUTE SHOW AT SPROUT IN RICHMOND TODAY

last minute freaky show at Sprout today, tuesday, May 17. 9:30 PM

GA'AN (ex-COUGHS, FIELDED) - Chicago synth-space-prog, far out tripped out heavy prog, with a lady singer who kills like Bjork or Zola Jesus.

MUTWAWA (Suppression/Head Molt/Bermuda Triangles) - throbbing beats and nauseous electronic manipulation, noise veterans in the house percolator

YARDWORK - ragged sonic youth/wipers noisy punk, ex-SAIL/MANNEQUIN

KAWABATA/PIKACHU at STRANGE MATTER

Kawabata Makoto & Pikachu from Acid Mothers Temple/Afrirampo at Strange Matter

Longtime experimental & psychedelic musicians from Japan, Kawabata Makoto from Acid Mothers Temple and Pikachu from Afrirampo (as well as past collaborations with Acid Mothers Temple) will be playing at Strange Matter, a late show starting at 10:00 PM. Kawabata Makoto is known for his wild hair and even wilder space-melting acid rock guitar playing in Acid Mothers Temple, almost exaggerations of dripping psychedelia and the far out sounds of Krautrock, before that with heavy burners Mainliner. Pikachu previously played in the all lady duo Afrirampo, who were as much a catchy all girl garage punk as a psychotic Japanese noise rock experiment with screams that recall their Osaka freakout brethren the Boredoms.

Now, together on this tour, the duo plays an expansive psychedelic sort of no wave play a sort of psychedelic no wave that ascends from tribal drumming and Pikachu chanting to the hot insane guitar playing one expects from Kawabata. Pikachu quit the Acid Mother’s Afrirampo collaboration to study percussion in Africa and the girl is all over the place all while also singing. Videos of recent show Pikachu descending upon the crowd in flurry of drumming and far out singing and Kawabata Makoto steadily shredding long slabs of psychedelia building up to exciting sweaty psych-punk climax.

Worth it to catch a couple of Japan’s established experimental rockers in a freeform duo, anyone who’s seen Acid Mother’s Temple has an idea of how its going to go down. Dig the Kawabata Makoto & Pikachu duo at Strange Matter, Sunday May 15^th, with Mugu Guymen, Caves Caverns, Head Molt, and Articulate Chewbecca (Adam Smith + Dylan Rhythm Bandit krautsplosion)

A recent recording of the duo is available for free here, http://soundcloud.com/riotseason/pikacyu-makoto-birth-star

WOODS ON PINE STREET BOOTLEG TAPE

Here's a low fidelity bootleg recording of Woods playing Will Delicious Smith's old house on Pine Street, from 2008, when Woods was a three-piece, Jeremy, Jarvis, and Christian, when WOODS FAMILY CREEPS LP came out, so when they were a burning lo-fi psych-folk trio. Taped on a Panasonic handheld tape recorder that I assumed was dead after I left in my parents backyard overnight in the rain with the Ghostbusters soundtrack in it.

Kohoutek coming to Sprout 3/14

Kohoutek coming to Sprout 3/14

Kohoutek has been an improv psych collective since 2003, when the group was cultivated at DC DIY spots 611 Florida Ave and the 7^th Street Warehouse Nextdoor. The instrumental lineup is always a malleable beast, changing from show to show, tour to tour, always held down by the percussive king/Kohoutek mastermind Scott Verrastro. Kohoutek's always cosmic sets vary but include Verrastro’s wash of free-jazz bells and brushes leading into a heavy stomps of ultra-heady space rock with thick slow-burning psychedelic guitars bucking and echoing, typically backed with burnt crackling homemade electronic noise and field recordings from 804Noise collaborator Scott Alison. Kohoutek has other times enlisted the screaming saxophones of outsider-jazz misfits Paul Flaherty and Little Howlin' Wolf into their free improv freakout. Last summer Kohoutek melted downtown loft, Couch Heaven as the backing band for George Kinney and as a five-piece Kohoutek set before Kinney stepped in. Kinney is notable for being in the 1960's Texas psychedelic rockers GOLDEN DAWN, known for their cult-collectors LP 'Power Plant', whom Kohoutek is touring to Texas this March to play with again at South By Southwest. Kohoutek sometimes makes use of Richmonder Damian Languel ,of terrifying acoustic-electric performance ensemble Twilight Memories of the Three Suns, playing distorted noisy broken synth blasts or other times blowing free on a didgeridoo or channelling Roland Kirk, puffing through wooden panflutes. Once a Kohoutek set finds its plateau, it rides it out in the heady zone where Hawkwind finds Neu! so you hang stay high, only to come down to minimal percussion and a fried buzzing in the back of your skull.

Definitely brings to mind the free-psych contemporaries of Sonic Youth's SYR long playing instrumental records as well as the swirling heavy psych rock of White Hills, the urgent jazz-inspired electric improv of Nels Cline, the New England experimental collective Sunburned Hand of the Man and the manipulated deconstruction of 'Beaches and Canyons'-era Black Dice. Jam band types who have taken an heroic dose could probably appreciate the freeness and elevation of Kohoutek’s jams bordering on the most far out moments of “Dark Star” or whatever, but Kohoutek has no intention of campfire singalongs, bluegrass impersonation or anything resembling traditional song structure, its all mindfuck, have a seat if you’d like.

Kohoutek takes their name from freaked out 1973 LPs from both Sun Ra and Father Yod & The Spirit of '76. Kohoutek's Scott Verrastro has performed in collaborations with Sun Ra's saxophone player/current Arkestra bandleader Marshall Allen and in 2008, Kohoutek played a week of East Coast shows opening for the touring lineup of Father Yod's Yahowa 13 band. Cosmic approval for head music. A handful of live recordings are available for free download at http://districtofnoise.org/?tag=kohoutek

Kohoutek plays at Sprout Organic Cafe & Market at 1 N. Morris (at Main St) on Monday March 14th, at 9:30 w/ Caves Caverns (100th show, Richmond psych-punk) and Frankzig (talented meditations for classical Spanish guitar conquest). All sets will be visually enhanced with Greg & Sara’s Cosmic Hum psychedelic oil projections.

DOWNLOAD COMMUNIQUE (2010 Cassette)
http://www.mediafire.com/?hndxyzqjyim

” they channeled some serious Hawkwind-Acid Mothers-F/i vibes and shoe-horned a lot of sonics into a short set … Apparently the guitar player for Caves Caverns plays the keys for locals Resin Pyramid who put on another stellar opening set at the Moon Duo gig. Really interesting stuff … well worth checking out in town if you need to get your feet off the ground.” (Mr. Atavist)

The free-form, instrumental heavy psychedelia that this Richmond band plays on their latest release, a four-song, forty-minute cassette, has many worthy antecedents. Most prominent are Ash Ra Tempel’s epic Krautrock space jams and Hawkwind’s acid-soaked biker rock. These trippy jams will pry open your third eye. (Andrew Necci, RVA Magazine)

“Improv psych from this Richmond 4-piece. Swirling fuzz, squealing saxophone, and a theremin cameo ensures this cassette to be an auditory interplanetary medium for your neurons. It’s a little more relaxed, but it’s a sound that lies somewhere between Raccoo-oo-oon and Comets on Fire. Less than 100 cassettes made. Get one from Sounds From the Pocket.” (http://ongakubaka.blogspot.com/2010/05/caves-caverns-communique.html)
