And the other day…

we're on first so come early. we're gonna try something a little different than our last couple shows.
the spectre folk are from brooklyn and are all spooky goodness.
here is what boomkat say - yeah!

Spectre Folk is the solo moniker of Magik Markers' Pete Nolan, and in a form true to the scene this latest album is a hand made cdr, and guess what - it's super limited! Coming in a thin black plastic cd case (something akin to the cases you get DS games in, but thinner) this is a psychologically intense trip from the very beginning as delicately strummed guitars are led into a darkened wood and abandoned to allow the noise to abuse them rampantly. The second piece takes things down a notch with a fourteen minute jam that reminds me more of outsider rock from the 60s and 70s than anything else, but it's the other three tracks that really nail it for me with bubbling analogue synthesizer joining the guitar to create quite moving soundscapes. Awesome.

so yeah it's a monday night. we appreciate that you may be fragile after either being at green man or because you wrecked all weekend in brist-arrr. still would love it if you can make it. xoxo a

ahh
the end of "summer" is nigh. it's that time of year when it's so hot you gotta either go up into the mountains and swim in the lakes or head to the beach and surf in the ocean - oh wait, i forgot i don't live in California anymore. we had no summer because we all live on an island in the north atlantic. so if you ain't doing GREEN MAN then you should really come to this. For Realz.
the Phantom Paradise nite moves into Mother's Ruin for some friday fuckery on the 15th of August.
Under the new title of Death DJ's RIch and Phil will freak you right the fuck out with choice psych, rock and horror film selections from Istanbul to Brecon to Rio. Consider this an Eastern Block Party. you know what i'm sayin? no? then come get educated. YES! then get in the ruin and shake those hips.
the other me - [aZa]RUMBOT will be hosting this party and occasionally interrupting the flow with his own selections.
please do come
