ABOUT REVEREND GLASSEYE'S BACKWOODS
APPALACHIAN-KLEZMER PSYCH:
"Talk about retro, man: Reverend Glasseye and his
Wooden Legs went way back in time (and halfway
around the world) when gathering up influences.
Playing a mixture of Appalachian Folk, Southern
Gospel, Sea Shanties, Gypsy, Balkan Wedding
Music and Klezmer, the band sounds something
like music I imagine nineteenth-century carnies
playing, drinkning XXX around a fire after they've
taken the tents down. I can pisture the caged
elephants groaning alonging to a beat of pots and
pans as the fire-lit faces tell stories of freaks and
trains.
The band has a perfect combination of talents to
perfect this style; a solid acoustic bass, a skilled
junk percussionist, a ripping banjo player, a gruff
vocalist, thinkof any kind of instrument you would
find in an abandon shed somewhere in the South,
and it's on this album. Appropriately enough,
percussionist Richard Cuneo is credited with
"junk", "coconuts" and "water". With amazing
musicianship, creativity, near-perfect production
and unique vision make Black River Falls a wholly
entertaining experience. I can only imagine what
this Boston based band would be like in a live
setting. It seems that Rev. Glasseye turns every
critic I've read into a storyteller, and thats where the
group's strength hits hardest; you cannot listen to
this music without looking at the world through
sepia toned glasses, with a whiskey-filled gut and
a toothless grin on your face." -Ed Anderson,
Splendid E-zine
ABOUT DAME DARCY'S DEATH BY DOLL:
Dame Darcy NYC performances are rare, amazing
things -- and rarely the same thing twice. In the last
few years she's ventured away from folk music to
do crazy more in line with her Suckdog/Caroliner
Rainbow roots, so who the heck knows what's
going to happen -- did any catch that show where
she dressed up like a domino, banged on a
tamborine and sang about CIA conspiracies for
half an hour? That was a good one. Now her
music is more sexy, I think, and she's taken to
dressing up like one of those bondage pony girls
and singing about dolls with heavy
Kraftwerk/Throbbing Gristle synths conducted by
handsome lad Benjamin Mahoney. But I don't
knowif that's what's going to happen. I really have
no idea what they're going to do. But it will be -- at
the least -- really entertaining & startling and
maybe a little horrifying. And at the most, intimate
weird genius -- Darcy's music sounds more like all
that Folk Anthology Harry Smith stuff than anyone
else I've ever heard, even if she's singing over an
old lawnmower. I love watching Darcy perform.
ABOUT FLAMING FIRE:
"Can't accuse Flaming Fire of having a dull stage
show--they've got the costumes, the bombast, the
eye-grabbing frontpeople, the general sense of
performance spectacle. They've also got the
songs: unnerving, arty, freaky anthems about
mortality, divinity, and leopard ninja people with
plastic wings, sort of the avant-garde 'Bat out of
Hell.'" -Douglas Wolk, Village Voice
ABOUT THE DEWANATRON:
The Dewanatron is the most amazing-sounding
analog synthesizer in the world, is operated by
telephone dials, and was created by Leon and
Brian Dewan. You should come up after the show,
and get a good look at it. Each time we play with it,
it gets smarter, and has started putting little plastic
straw tendrils in in our ears and noses to suck out
our brains:
http://dewanatron.com/contact.html .
ABOUT AUTODRONE:
Autodrone '02-18-04' (Self released). "Just gets
better. Those of you with not too distant memories
might recall us falling over ourselves on hearing
the last demo from New York based kraut / shoe
gaze rockers Autodrone. Well, time to nail down all
the belongings and find some form of shelter
because they're back again, sounding stronger
than ever." - Losing Today Magazine UK
ABOUT CYNTHIA MITCHELL'S SUN IS A SNAKE
CARTOON:
Cynthia Mitchell has been painstakingly drawing
this cartoon frame by frame for the last year -- a
video for Flaming Fire's "THE SUN IS A SNAKE"!
I've seen individual frames for the last year, and it
looks incredible -- very detailed,
girly-bloody-creeepy psychedelia. It'll be like
watching a movie of the world inside this picture for
two minutes, which is a world I'd like to live in:

DANCE PARTY FROM DJS LISSSA & DEVIL DOLL:
DJ LisSsa & Devil Doll will be playing a big mix of
crazy, dancey stuff from goth, soul, 70s rock, and
all sorts of other incongrous things that sound
good together. You probably know them as the
singer and guitarist of that Herschell Gordon
Lewis/John Waters film come to life, Mz. Pak Man.

So come downstairs with me and we'll jump
around.
Love,
Kate
P.S. Patrick, Lauren and I got a chance to sing with
Benjamin Ickes at the Accordion Festival last
weekend, and it was really fun. Thanks Benjamin!
