About Illusive Mind Gypsy Crew( BIG SHOW + NEW TUNES!!)
FREE MASON, FREE HIM NOW LIVE 21/07/08
The Illusive Mind Gypsy Crew is an art collective from Winnipeg,
Manitoba. It is an experiment in communal creativity that has taken
the form of a noise we call "prairie metal."
The new release, Vagrant Moth Three, completes a series of homemade
albums the band has been recording since 2006. The Vagrant Moth
Demonstrations were started by Todd McDougall and Terrell Froese as a
way to share their songwriting quickly and fluidly while also
attracting collaborators. Three years and countless campfires later,
over 40 people have contributed to passing on all the old gypsy lore.
Vagrant Moth Three is an expression of a community. Its songs are eyes
staring through the isolated perspective of life in the Red River
Valley. It takes place in a land of living skies, where the horizon
relaxes without interuption. Mechanical stability and organic
growth... distant cousins maybe. On this recording IMGC use Winnipeg's
reliable two degrees of separation to research this family tree. We
made specific decision to include the voices of as many of our friends
and musical collaborators as possible. Raising a fist to the united
sound of our families, childhood friends, neighbors, and incestual
music scene. This sound is vigorous, excessive, and ultimately
triumphant.
IMGC has been performing live since 2004 and has since taken their
travelling circus across Canada on tours long and short. The gypsy
wagon carries a show that generally includes video projections,
costumes, mascots, and improvised jams. Pretty much a gang of rodeo clowns. A freakshow exhibition of epic psychedelic heavy metal.
REVIEWS:
"At its core, the Illusive Mind Gypsy Crew is a three-piece band, with guitar, bass, and drums. However, there were no less than five people on stage at any given time with one to twiddle the effects knobs and another providing occasional vocals and keyboards in addition to looking after the band's picture-show backdrop. Melding trippy psychedelic melodies with heavy riffing and harsh vocals, the Crew was like nothing the Kathedral had ever seen before." - Greg, www.toohightogetitright.com. Review of Aug 23rd '08 at the Katherdral, Toronto.
"What would it sound like if Bob Dylan collaborated with Tool? A strange question to be sure, but one that’s at the heart of Illusive Mind Gypsy Crew (IMGC), a Winnipeg collective..." - Aaron Epp, The Uniter.
"A metal band from Winnipeg that successfully fuses tribal folk rhythms with heavy metal guitar... many try, few succeed. The notion of the heavy metal jam band rarely flies... but I challenge you to listen to this bands tracks here on the interweb and tell me this won't be one of the most interesting heavy shows to come around since we first laid eyes on Ekatree" - The Townehouse Tavern in Sudbury.
