Moe! Staiano's Moe!kestra! CD release show! With Sleeping People (San Diego) and Weasel Walter Quartet!
Moe! Staiano will release his second album (via Rastascan/Amanita Records of France) of his large revolving orchestra project, Moe!kestra!. The CD will feature two scored compositions for large orchestra including Piece No.7: An Inescapable Siren Within Earshot Distance Therein and Other Whereabouts (for strings, percussion, E-stringed guitars, u-bolts, wine glasses and sirens), which will be performed at this show.
Sleeping People (Temporary Residence) from San Diego features past and present members of Pinback, Goblin Cock, Tarentel, Rumah Sakit and Howard Hello. Sleeping People's pedigree no doubt partly explains its fascination with trance-like
repetition and aggressive time signature changes. But nothing about the group adequately explains why every one of their songs makes you feel like you're being chased by the cops.
Weasel Walter Quartet will open the show. The Weasel Walter Quartet (with Weasel Walter of the Flying Luttenbachers) was established in august 2005 in order to terrorize the world with nuclear holocaust music made of pure sweat, blood and terror. rooted in the same sorts of intensity and power as the prime works of Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Peter Brotzmann, this band will soon rise to the top of the heap as masters of go-for-broke power improvisation.
Cost: $8.00
