Great chat there. Love Chasny the guy so much. Super nice but no bullshit (other than the good kind i.e. a sense of humor) and a real cool insight. Bishop is of course from another planet or something.

yes, great read

BC: You would think that, but I had to put on 12-gauge strings recently and, man, did I suck. I use 10s, same as Angus Young. He plays guitar in a band called AC/DC.
RB: Never heard of him! I bet he dresses funny.
I lol'd. Also 12-gauge is horrible, I tormented myself with those for years.

Saw these last night. So much better live than on record and the records are pretty great.

i got a message from ilx robot regarding rangda, but i don't know if a real person sent this or if someone is i dunno marketing or whatever?

http://www.imposemagazine.com/features/the-chronicles-of-rangda-according-to-chris-corsanopretty good interview. mention of a possible live record towards the end?
― tylerw, Thursday, 8 November 2012 17:33 (eleven years ago) link
I still don't know where/who that message came from.
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Thursday, 8 November 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
mysterious. they just wanted to talk about rangda?
― tylerw, Thursday, 8 November 2012 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
It was a recommendation for another record but it sounded kinda like a marketing ploy -- but why would anyone use me for their promotional target? So I figure it must be a normal ilxor. Just don't know who!

surprised there isn't more post-release discussion in this thread. loving the new album, but i never gave the first one a ton of time, so maybe my perspective is different.
is the first one better, according to hardcore Rangda-o-philes?
― alpine static, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:44 (eleven years ago) link
i think the first one is better, but the second one is great, too. i just want these guys to make an album every month.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:45 (eleven years ago) link
The first one is definitely more improvy and less songy. If that seems like it would appeal to you, I recommend it! I like it.
― passion it person (La Lechera), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:45 (eleven years ago) link
I definitely prefer the first one. The 2nd seems a bit restrained in comparison, which is not really what I want from these guys.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:51 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like all three of them took the opportunity to freak out a lot more on the first one; the second one is more organized/normal.

did we talk about this? http://www.badabingrecords.com/store/products/pre-order-dead-c-randga-split/still need to see rangda, but richard bishop is playing near me next month, so i'll take it!

whoa thanks for that Badabing update!

lol i really was thinking just the other day that rangda have the same line-up as the dead c
― Ward Fowler, Saturday, 5 January 2013 00:12 (eleven years ago) link
this split LP is sounding goood, just put the Rangda side on the good turntable to rip it. What I initially thought was vinyl distortion turned out to be Corsano doing some kinda muffled cymbal thing at the beginning.
― sleeve, Saturday, 9 March 2013 02:40 (eleven years ago) link
I just picked up "Formerly Extinct" the other day and am loving it, though in an odd turn of events they released their 1st album second and 2nd album first kind of.
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 8 April 2013 23:34 (eleven years ago) link
Also just got the Rangda/Dead C split...the Rangda half is good....the Dead C side is like some real prime slab from them, awesome
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 15 April 2013 00:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i dig that split.
― tylerw, Monday, 15 April 2013 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
speaking of which could any of you guys hook me up w/ mp3s of this thang? i'm not set up to rip 'em.
― tylerw, Monday, 15 April 2013 16:48 (eleven years ago) link
I think I might like "Formerly Extinct" more then the first one
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 15 April 2013 18:11 (eleven years ago) link
Hey tyler I can hook you up with that, I'll email you later tonight.

anyway, damn you brooklyn and massachusetts; i want rangda to play l.a. again! i saw them at the eagle rock center for the arts and they were great, but there were these weird drunk people in the front of the crowd rockin' out like they were at a journey arena show. they left once they realized what kind of music rangda actually play.

I have never seen Rangda live, hope that changes for the next tour. I imagine that they are playing these gigs to "warm up" and then maybe are gonna record, as Chasny is basically from Florence at this point (or Northhampton?, Corsano has been based around there at various times too). Good news regardless.
― grandavis, Monday, 8 December 2014 14:25 (nine years ago) link
excellent recording of last week's bklyn gig: http://www.nyctaper.com/2015/01/rangda-january-9-2015-babys-all-right-flacmp3streaming/seems they are recording at black dirt studios this week, too!
