Neung Phak (pronounced: NOONG PAHK) is the alter ego
of the long-time Bay Area group Mono Pause, who in this
incarnation, play a wide range of South East Asian music
inspired by cassette tapes, LPs and radio broadcasts received
on their travels. Since 2001, Neung Phak have performed
and recorded inspired renditions of Thai and Laotian "Isan"
country Molam, infectious Thai rock and pop, Vietnamese and
Cambodian songs of years past and even North Korean political
anthems. Armed with traditional and electric instruments and
sometimes featuring singer Diana Hayes along with special guests, Neung
Phak delivers a concoction of international sounds that trade the
gloss and sheen of so-called World Music for the energy and
unpredictability you might actually find if you were somewhere else!

playing of Brently Pusser

Recorded: live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the
innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was
captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally
unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other,
fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The
sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did
the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band
leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create
crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that
were sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the
first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene,
though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a
very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still,
the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and
Fairport Convention.
