Cool that he and Darin Gray have hooked up ... need to look Corsano's general itinerary up I guess.

Thanks! Own about 5 things with him on it, but obviously need to cast a wide net to hear it all. Mainly wanna see him live again at this point, records will happen over time.

you could fly to the Easthampton show and run up the road to Scott's store! He's a gracious host.

no, but if you ask nicely he might - just might - let you crash in the basement.

Man, this record is still so great. Another vote for West Coast dates.

Sheesh. I don't want to wait over a year for a West Coast tour.

Definitely see Chikamorachi (Corsano + Darin Gray) on this tour, you guys. I saw them in Louisville and then made the trip the next night to see them in Lexington. They were that good. Astonishing, really. Don't miss it!!

They are so fun to watch live, you should go. Are they coming to Chicago? How come no one told me?!
― La Lechera, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:52 (twelve years ago) link
Ahh, they are playing two NYC shows. 6 months ago that would have worked, but nothing south of there? Must be recording in the city or something. Assume there will be more shows when a record materializes.

If I knew anyone that lived there I would be making them go, but seems like Madison would have at least a small Corsano cult (not sure how many radars Darin Gray is still on).
Wish I could go. I imagine it is like a sped up, vibraphone-less On Filmore or something (and I really like On Filmore).
― grandavis, Friday, 3 February 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
It really runs the gamut. The way Darin plays, the strings on the bass are merely ONE possible sound-making source. I was up close and you can really see how many nicks and dings are in his bass from his abuse of it. At one point he was punching it and screaming. Corsano is never less than a marvel to behold - dude is probably one of the most creative percussionists of all time. This is a perfectly matched duo - super intense, super fun (a few people laughed out loud at certain points), just incredible. Go!
Jordan, your gf will dig it. My wife digs weird music, but mostly of the Kranky / Tim Hecker / Basinski variety - not so much a free jazz buff. She was super into Chikamorachi, said it was one of the best shows she's seen in a long time (and she's seen more shows than me). Go!

semi-related - Comets on Fire just went into the studio as Ben Chasny's backing band for the next Six Organs Of Admittance record (an electric rock Six Organs album) for Drag City.interesting that chasny wants to make an electric rock six organs record, even w/ rangda as a going concern. anticipating!

i am listening to that right now and it is SO GOOD whoa
did not go to the show btw because before i knew it, it was 9pm and i had my pjs on.

holy cow zebulon is gonna be packed for that show. not a big place with most of the floor taken up by tables.

Whoa, thanks for that Six Organs link/reference. Gonna go try to get that right now. Chasny is always good, but I really dug his trio tour with Moloney and Keith Wood, some really good takes on the songs and some heavy playing. Haven't seen him electric in a long time.
― grandavis, Monday, 6 February 2012 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
I haven't heard that electric Six Organs in awhile, but I remember thinking that it sounded like White Heaven or something else PSF Records would put out. This is high praise.
― InternationalWaters, Monday, 6 February 2012 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
yeah excited to listen. i gather that's the comets on fire dude's blog?
― tylerw, Monday, 6 February 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
It reminds me of International Harvester/Träd, Gräs & Stenar. Really spaced out and loose but organic and natural sounding too. I love it!
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Monday, 6 February 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
It is really good! Listened to two out of the three before work got in the way, but totally worth it. It is Ethan's blog, who is the Comets/Howlin' Rain guy.
― grandavis, Monday, 6 February 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
So, is there a new electric Six Organs record with the Comets dudes in the band? I'll have to listen to the archival one, too.
Six Organs came through here on that trio tour, but at the last minute Ben decided to do a solo acoustic set. I was a little disappointed but the Hush Arbors songs he and Moloney sat in on were really awesome.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 6 February 2012 20:48 (twelve years ago) link
New Howlin' Rain record soon too!
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 6 February 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
Man, missed the Hush Arbors set that night, AND the CD I bought from him did not play. Great dude though. Played bass in that trio format, was a good format, lots of room for Chasny to do his thing.
― grandavis, Monday, 6 February 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
Bummer the cd didn't work. He's a good old friend o mine.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 6 February 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
I am sure he woulda been bummed about it too, not something I am too concerned about (happy to give him some $$ to support the cause). I am good buddies with his friend Jason Ajemian, I am confident he is an A+ dude.
― grandavis, Monday, 6 February 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
Jason is rad! They came through town a year ago and we had some really great times.
sorry, Rangda thread

video from last week - http://vimeo.com/38110023anybody seen 'em on this tour?
― tylerw, Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
Saw both shows in NY. New stuff is great and they threw in a few older tracks. I wish they had more time to play together and jam out, they were definitely playing "rigid" songs/compositions. But it's always a pleasure to see them. They are headed to Black Dirty studios (there now?) to record the second LP.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
nice, yeah, judging from the live recordings I've heard, they aren't all that improv-y, considering their respective improv-y backgrounds. no biggie though, they sound magnificent.
― tylerw, Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
Black Dirt, not Black Dirty obvs.
Both shows were p. underattended with moderately disinterested audiences (first show I heard someone say "I feel like they could do this in their sleep") which was a real shocker to me since this group definitely falls under "What's NOT to love?!"
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
son of a bitch I totally forgot about these god damn shows DAMMIT!
― Axolotl with an Atlatl (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:49 (twelve years ago) link
unforgivable imo, jon. too bad about the audience! weird. these guys should be hailed as gods wherever they play!
― tylerw, Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
Fuck, wish they had come to my neck of the woods. Can't understand what could be boring about seeing great players playing great.

Hah, Chasny playing a white strat in that video clip. Cool!
― grandavis, Thursday, 8 March 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, just wanna follow up and say that that video is awesome! Love the solo and the anthemic closing part of the song. Want to see these guys, hope more dates follow the record (silly for them not to I imagine, but these guys all have so many things going on).
― grandavis, Thursday, 8 March 2012 21:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah considering how side project happy these dudes all are, it wouldn't be surprising if rangda was a one-off, but i'm glad as hell it isn't!
― tylerw, Thursday, 8 March 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
It was awesome to see Chasny playing like that. The next Six Organs has Comets on Fire as the backing band and is already recorded - cannot WAIT for that.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Thursday, 8 March 2012 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
I am glad it isn't as well. But I could see them NOT touring for the record, just cause they do other stuff. These shows may be it for a while, but hopefully not.
I guess I am psyched for Comets guys on the next record, but I do not want anything that sounds like Howlin Rain. Will trust that it will just sound like rocking Six Organs, which I am ALL for. Especially if there is a tour for it. Last few times I have seen Chasny it has been solo or with Elisa, which were great shows, but it has been a long time since I have seen him with a band.
