TBWNIS: A Dark and Stormy Night January 19th, 2019
Winter is always the most challenging and it's insane how many shows we've played in blizzard conditions over the years!
We were opening for Yawning Man, and Freedom Hawk and Pisser were also on the bill. That day forecasted weather wise, was temperatures of -30 Celsius and hard driving snow! It certainly was all that and more! BRUTAL! I'll never forget the shock that the fellas in Yawning Man in particular felt that night and for the rest of us although harsh, it was a "what the fuck can you do" kinda night.
On the 19th of January, 2019, we played our 2nd show at Mavericks here in Ottawa (1st show there was 2016 opening for Pere Ubu!💕).
All that said, all 4 bands kicked ass and it was pretty awesome to see 100 good souls brave the elements to get their noggin's cleaned out with some very heavy music that evening!
If you click on the link here you can hear our set which is "up" for the very first time on our band camp as I just discovered I had it in the archives...It was a dark and stormy night...👽

LIVE AT MAVERICKS + bonus track

We Got The Beat ! New Arrivals In The Shop
Loads of new arrivals as always in the shop...some cherry top selling restock and more LPs arriving later in the week... all titles in limited quantities...stay tuned ! 👽
Feeding Tube Records Part 1 @ Birdman Sound
A longtime favourite record label in the shop is Feeding Tube Records. Based in Massachusetts and curated by Byron Coley and Ted Lee, it's a label that has ridden on the fringes of obscurity since forever. There are no specific genres really and everything bears one's attention especially if like me, you possess even the slightest amount of alien DNA! Many Feeding Tube releases can challenge every definition of something you think you have a grip on and reappoint your puny existence, effortlessly. This is what I've come to love about the label over these many years and this keeps discovery exciting! I carry and restock frequently many titles on the label and investigate everything that is available old or new. The focus here is brief overview of what is instock in the shop at the moment, but not nearly all of it as there's a lot of it!
"My Pharaoh, My King" is from a duo featuring guitarist Tony Pasquarosa and drummer John Moloney (Sunburned Hand of The Man) who offer up a scintillating excursion into free jazz territory in the spirit of Pharaoh Sanders...deep shit!
https://feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com/album/my-pharaoh-my-king
Maco Sika/Hamid Drake featuring Tatsu Aoki and Thymme Jones "Ourania" is an album of spaced out freak prog/free jazz folk moves and psych improv that keeps one guessing at every turn! It's got some trumpet action which just naturally makes it a winner!
Rob Noyes and Joseph Allred with "Avoidance Languages" offers up a tripped out landscape, dense with the influence of the two's guitar soli forefathers. A mesmerising excursion into the now sound of psych folk and what a wonderful trip it is !
https://feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com/track/avoidance-language
Monocot are an American duo with Jason Gerycz on drums and Rosali Middleman on guitar. These two bust out a ragged ass free psych instrumental onslaught that ebbs and flows with some intense electric guitar wailing and busy drumming. The whole of "Direction We Know"(4 tracks) is a pretty swell acidic trip and well worth repeated doses!
https://feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com/track/ruby-throated
Loren Connors - "Unaccompanied Acoustic Guitar Vol. 1" is the left field blues guitarist captured in 1979 and originally a cassette only release. 2 volumes in stock of 9 so far, all being released by Feeding Tube. Dark blues magic as always on the sad side of emotion.
Joseph Allred's "Branches and Leaves" features Allred on guitars, banjo, harmonium, piano, vocal and other bits and bobs. A truly folk sounding album in that traditional, spiritual old English style. The whole album is uplifting despite it's sombre qualities. Thoroughly beautiful one way or another!
"The Incandescent Switch" from Old Million Eye is a great new album from Brian Lucas of Dire Wolves fame ! Brian is aided by several friends on a couple of tracks but primarily it is all down to him. An excellent spaced out, dreamy voyage, and as some have said, in a kosmiche vein particularly on the keyboard side of things. There is an unmistakable acidic quality at work throughout and the vocal utterances barely heard in many cases, give the tracks an ethereal quality. Superb.
https://oldmillioneye.bandcamp.com/track/i-labour-upwards-into-futurity
The Itarod - The Ghost, the Elf, the Cat and the Angel is from a duo who were from Rhode Island and did their thing from 1996-2003. Carin Wagner and Jeffrey Alexander (Dire Wolves) tread ground in that English electric folk psych vein of the late 60's and early 70's, but decidedly more whacked out.
Jantar's "Sempronia" is one of my fave LPs of 2021! A heady combination of bent prog and psych in the very best tradition of early 70's Canterbury style but made in modern fashion, it's a rock record on a higher plain than most! These fol;ks must be killer LIVE !
https://feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com/track/bergen-op-zoom-2
There will be a 2nd and maybe 3rd and 4th part put up on the blog shortly, as I wasn't kidding about the depth and love for Feeding Tube Records...Have a listen to the above and revel in the glorious sounds👽
