Monday Roundup #57

Someday this space might be mostly concert listings again, but for now Monday roundups might include a romp through the MFS archives, some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!).


Bring me my cake!

  • This blog is, improbably, now entering its teenage years. How strange! I don't have any sort of celebration in mind, so I will, once again, just link to this first-ever post and leave it at that.

Livestream nation:

[I missed out on posting these when they went live, but one saving grace of this era is the increased chance of catching something that happened last week.]

  • Batuki Music Society continues to present excellent music in its Karibuni Africa Virtual Series, including this duo of kora griots Sadio Sissokho and Diely Mori Tounkara:
  • Another excellent livestreamed set from The Tranzac (their technical capacity has really stepped up with these!) featuring Ryan Driver and his whistling, plinking Titillators playing a set of mostly new material:

Concert listings:

  • Shabason, Krgovich & Harris / Bernice / Jaunt / Eliza Niemi / Paradise Theatre 2022-02-19 (Saturday). $15, 19+. [FB event]
  • Marker Starling / Dorothea Paas / Ejji Smith / Monarch Tavern 2022-02-19 (Saturday). $13.78, 19+. [FB event]

Bandcamp corner:

  • Luka Kuplowsky has integrated the zen minimalism that he found in setting the poems of Ryōkan to music in this "meditation collection" arranged for Yamaha PSR-36 and voice, taking stock of moments of engagement with the small details of day-to-day life. Wonderful stuff.

It happened this week...

  • ...on February 20, 2015, at The Tranzac's Main Hall (Somewhere There Creative Music Festival – Show 1).

Riverrun - Full and Empty Barrel

Transcombobulation - Third Transcombobulation
