HOW TO SPEND VDAY

Come to this LADYGUNN Mag party at The Flat (308 Hooper St) tonight!
Open Bar 10-11pm, $3

INTERVIEW: YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN | SHOW TONIGHT!

Everybody knows Xiu Xiu. I remember blasting "I Luv The Valley OH" with my sister and feeling as misunderstood as Jamie Stewart in high school. I was happy to hear the band was returning to Austin tomorrow night (at Mohawk) on their North American tour. I had been seeing their passage through the states and Canada with Dirty Beaches and Father Murphy. 

The line up took on a change mid-way though and Dirty Beaches was replaced by YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN. This band's music and performance is as big and exciting (and experimental) as their name suggests. There is no way for you to understand their music through text, so I suggest you give it a listen (below). They create music they have self-dubbed "Noh-wave" in reference to No Wave and Noh, a classical form of Japanese musical drama.

I lucked out on an opportunity to interview the band's core, drummer Alaska B and singer Ruby Kato Attwood about influences and what to expect from their show.

+++++

I saw you listed Boris and Gwar as a few of your musical and stage inspirations. Are there any visual artists you are particularly inspired by?

Ruby: I'm influenced by documentarian footage of ritual performance.

Alaska: The artists I hate influence me the most. If its challenging to my taste, it instigates my response through imitation or resistance. So I guess I love hate my favourite artists. Love:  Zhang Huan, Takashi Murakami, Marina Abramovic, Tenjo Sajiki. Love hate: Matthew Barney.

Are there any other bands you would consider "Noh-Wave"?

Alaska: Noh-pe

What are some of the strangest items you've transformed into instruments?

Alaska: Clothesline and 1x6 plank gu Zheng, 50s egg timer bass, a water chestnut can shamisen or a megaphone tamboura. I also built an infamous set of electronic drums out of a Rock Band kit back in 2008. We don't use them as much live, but they still rear their heads every so often. 

I have new ones in the work. Right now my baby is our new 8-panel DIY-led light rig I built with Aylwin Lo for under $600. Our lightning designer Alana Ruth is currently using it on tour. Designed to be modular, I plan to keep increasing its capabilities. It can already sync to Ableton live and MIDI.

What are some of the best reactions to your performances?

Alaska: When a kid at ATP in England somehow knew all of our lyrics. Or maybe when I jumped into the pit at our false alarm farewell show back in 2009 and managed to send even seasoned extreme musicians terrified into the corners with a violent head smashing performance. I've had to cut those down though; I can't take as much abuse as I used to.

Ruby: A guy in San Francisco told us that he finally understood the connection between meditation and doom metal. Generally, the response from our fans have been amazing, and we want to come back even better than ever on a headlining tour

Some of the worst?

Ruby: All reactions are good. Whatever they want to think is half of it.

Alaska: I guess 50% is a passing grade no matter how you spin it.

Have you been to Austin before? 

Alaska: Noh-pe. But our other singer, Ange Loft, might be the first Mohawk to ever perform at the Mohawk

What do you have planned for the performance at Mohawk in Austin?

Alaska: Due to touring's limitations, we've toned down a lot of our stageshow. I won't be doing any of our more intense performance pieces, because I have to play night after night, and drumming is already physically demanding. Our cardboard sets are definitely limited as they can't survive that many shows, and with less time to set up, we can't do the absurd spectacles we became known for. But we still plan to put on a killer light show and play a solid set. The audience won't be disappointed.

INTERVIEW: Peter Holmström of The Dandy Warhols

Photo by Destiny Dawson

In anticipation of the upcoming Dandy Warhols (with 1776) show at Emo's East next week, I was given the opportunity to interview guitarist Peter Holmström, which I obviously leapt at. Before embarking on a month-long US/Canada tour, I got to chat him up on the phone and ask him about their newest album, The Machine, and more.

How does The Machine differ from previous albums for you?

Peter Holmström: You know, for us, the big difference is it's a really stripped down record. We kind of approached it trying to limit ourselves in the amount of tracks we recorded, because what with digital recording, you can record millions of tracks or songs if you really wanted. And in the past, we've gotten carried away, and I think it kind of affected adversely with some of the songs, so we definitely tried to make that happen. And I think it worked well.

Where does the inspiration come from for this one?

Peter: I don't know that it came from one place at all, I think it comes from everywhere.

What music were you listening to?

Peter: Prior to making the record, I was listening to a lot of early rock n roll, rockabilly stuff, and more modern variations of that. And I think that kind of helped inspire the stripped down approach. But besides that, we listen to everything. I don't really know that any one thing is more inspiring than another.

And usually, actually, it's what we're not hearing, which is the biggest influence  on what we're doing.

So you want The Dandy Warhols to separate themselves from anything you are currently hearing?

Peter: Yeah, it's not necessarily a conscious thing. It kind of started after we started working on Welcome To The Monkey House. There was a big resurgence of guitar rock at that time; The Strokes had come out, Black Rebel, White Stripes. And since there was a lot of guitar music around, we didn't feel the need to make guitar music. So we kind of took a different approach. 

And then for us, the next record - we hadn't been playing much guitar and the songs were very concise on Monkey House - we ended up doing Odditorium [Or Warlords Of Mars], which was a very meandering, kind of free-form more experimental guitar record. It just goes back and forth from what we're doing. So, I guess it's not just doing what we're not hearing, as well as doing something new that we hadn't been doing already.

I don't know if that makes any sense at all.

I think so, yeah, just keep the sound changing all the time and not stagnant.

Peter: Yeah, we tend to have not super short attention spans, but we definitely feel like we need to keep either progressing, or if not progressing, at least changing, even song to song sometimes.

When was the last time you were in Austin?

Peter: It might have been about two years ago, two and a half years ago, when were kind of touring on the Capitol years.

Did you get to hang out at all?

Peter: I think that time we went to, and I don't know the name of the bar, but we went to a bar and saw a band of old-time country players. I forget what they were called. Some of the most amazing musicians I think I've ever seen in my life, kind of made me want to stop calling myself a guitar-player.

Actually, I was in Austin a year ago for Psych Fest for my side project, Pete International Airport.  

Pete International Airport | Photo by Destiny Dawson

Did you get to see the city that time?

Peter: I was there for three days, but I was at Psych Fest all three days. 

I wondered what you like about Austin and what you like about Portland.

Peter: They always say there's similarities, but I think it's more just similarities of people's attitudes about things, a little more artistic, I guess, than other places. I don't know how to describe Portland. It's weird.

What makes you want to stay in Portland?

Peter: We didn't want to move. This is home. 

I have one serious question: Where did Courtney's second Taylor come from?

Peter: I don't know. I never quite understood that. I think it had a lot to do with the time his parents were still together, so he wanted to hyphenate… no, nevermind, I can't explain it. I have no clue. I used to remember what his explanation was, but that was years ago. It never really made sense to me. Sorry, can't help you.

And one last question: Should we expect any nudity from the live show these days?

Peter: No, there hasn't been nudity for years. 

Bummer.

Don't forget to get tickets for the show!
Tuesday May 22 | doors at 8 p.m.
Emo's East, 2015 East Riverside Dr.

END OF AN ERA: BURGER CITY

Well, it's the end of an era. For four years, Ben Tipton has been bringing us my favorite weekly event, Burger City Rock N Roll. And BCRNR has never failed to bring us great tunes, live shows and good pool times. I loved the event from the start, as in when I heard the word "burger..." In fact, a while back, I featured Burger City and Ben on a local blog Launch787.

I'll be sad to see it go, but tears are useless. Let's let Burger City go out with a bang tonight with BURGER CITYS ADIOS AMIGOS 4TH BIRTHDAY AND LAST HOORAH! Tonight's band is The Best, which is composed of members of local bands Bad Sports, Bad Lovers and Flesh Lights. I saw them live for the first time at a previous Burger City, and they live up to their name.

Lets all eat some greasy burgers (or veggie burgers if that's your thing) in honor of our Burger City homies. Now I'm hungry.

INTERVIEW: Airick Woodhead AKA Doldrums

PART 2 of 2: I was able to interview the man behind Doldrums, Airick Woodhead, briefly, before his, Bear In Heaven and Blouse's show at The Parish tonight. This band peaked my interest during SXSW. His music and his responses to my question are across the board curious and intriguing. Listen below.

INTERVIEW: Joe Stickney of Bear In Heaven

In anticipation of the Bear In Heaven, Blouse, and Doldrums show at The Parish Tuesday night, I thought I'd snatch the opportunity to interview a couple of artists in attendance. 


Joe Stickney, drummer of Bear In Heaven (who also contributes to a number of other projects), was kind enough to answer some quick interview questions on the road.

Hanging out in Louisville, thinking about stuff.
