Bandcamp corner:
- A mere twenty years (!) after the release of T.O. freak-folk masterpiece Half-Eaten Guitar, it was a bit of a surprise to see the sudden appearance of a new Wyrd Visions album. On my first quick investigation, I note that at least some of the material was stuff that was being played live a decade ago, but the timeless infinite depths of a Wyrd Visions jam are welcome in any year/for every ear.
It happened this week...
- ...on August 12, 2016 at Pia Bouman School for Ballet (SummerWorks: Sound Circuitz).
- ...on August 13, 2016 at Pia Bouman School for Ballet (SummerWorks: High Blood).
DATU x HATAW - World Gong Crazy
- ...on August 13, 2016 at Burdock Music Hall.
- ...on August 14, 2016 at Array Space (Somewhere There's Second Sunday Series).
Ali Berkok + Diane Roblin - [third piece]
