Influences
when we practice at night or play shows,we are definetely influenced by substances,but besides that we are influenced by:middle earth(i think froto and sam are gay),the new york mets,the buffalo bills,attractive females,dogs and cats playing together....complete mayhem,the air around us,good records,booking agents and their incapability to do their fuckin job right,the door girl at every nyc venue who just always seems to hate you,kaiser soze,saw 1 and 2.....there will be blood,...lots of rain ,.......
Sounds Like
the catchiest shit youve ever heard but whats this........oh......oh......go ahead and nod your head up and down as you stand there with your hands in your pockets,watching the performance instead of letting go(this applies to most nyc audiences....its okay at least youre there).there are several ways in which we rock,to experience all of them you will have to see us live.
2006 proved to be the lifespan of Torrential with other projects dominating our schedules and our boy "BATTLERAM" (drummer) moving farther away from nyc. however the album was completed and pressed just in time for our extended break...if you love us let us know the album will be available on cd baby shortly..in the meantime enjoy 4 cuts from it.
Greetings. I just wanted to thank you for your continued support and invite you to have a first listen on myspace to the tracks off the new EP "Monster & Minstrel" due out later this month. Bright stars to you! Ahmond
We've never been able to quite pin down exactly how the The Hunter Gracchus are going to play on any given occasion, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.
Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR
Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough.
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and, with the addition of random stabs of electronics, he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
