Monday Roundup #60

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!).

Video hits:

• A new album — and a new video — from Scott Hardware! One gets the sense that in Ballad of a Tryhard's more intense guitar moments that Scott Harwood was aiming for, say, Smashing Pumpkins, but his soulful softness tinges that with some accidental Adult Contemporary vibes, torquing this towards, say, a showtunes-free version of Rufus Wainwright. Lovely stuff.

Six Heads - [excerpt]

This night of local noise royalty, assembled to complement an appearance by Seymour Glass, was generally more subtle than the "noise" tag might imply. This longstanding collective (featuring James Bailey, William Davison, Linda Feesey, Sherri Lyn Higgins, Colin Hinz, and Pete Mosher) may have been playing their first gig in over three years but showed some excellent groupthink, coming together to craft what sounds like an eerie radio play. (Lots of little details here — this is a good one for headphones!)

Recorded at Array Space (Audiopollination 16.2), March 13, 2014.

6 Heads and Gil Delindro - [excerpt]

Full review to follow. Experimental sound collagists/noise crew 6 Heads was only five deep on this night (with James Bailey, William Davison, Sherri Higgins, Colin Hinz, Pete Mosher on hand) but they made quorum with the help of the evening's special guest. Plenty of knobs to be turned and more — that one recurrent screechy sound you can hear in the extract is a clear plastic CD (y'know, those ones that are always left over at the end of the spindle) being bowed and then looped.

As always, you can check out the entire show on Audiopollination's bandcamp page!
