5/17 Television LAMBCHOP-A-PALOOZA With Music City Arts TV-9 providing the biggest explosion of televised local arts coverage Nashville has seen in decades, Nashville bands are getting a boost. Imagine another channel devoting almost three solid hours of airtime to local treasure Lambchop. Tonight marks the broadcast premiere of No Such Silence, a 45-minute portrait of the ever-expanding group by Florian Giefer and Peter Göltenboth that weds their dreamy, melancholy smear of a sound to lushly textured split-screen Super 16 footage of local landmarks and European touring. It’s an unusually handsome doc that could easily have gotten festival berths, with the added treat of music by Cortney Tidwell, Altered Statesman and Dave Cloud’s Gospel of Power. MCA follows it with a two-hour Lambchop/Hands Off Cuba concert filmed at Brussels’ Ancienne Belgique, featuring the Dafo Quartett and projected films by James Clauer and Deborah Johnson. If nothing else, this package shows that Nashville now has a televised forum for unconventional local arts and film programming—and that Nashville bands and filmmakers should get off their asses and meet the challenge. 9 p.m. on MCA TV-9; also 4 p.m. May 18, 8 p.m. May 21 & 9 p.m. May 29 —JIM RIDLEY
Killer show. It's interesting, the atmospheric parts between the songs let the audience run away just far enough to appreciate it more when it came back. no silence.
