RANGDA (Richard Bishop, Ben Chasny, Chris Corsano)

ha, no, that's a link to a Rangda song. but i can't find anything on corsano's (immense!) discography page about it: http://www.cor-sano.com/hateddiscog.html

(that was for rizzx)

Son of a bitch! Knitting Factory Brooklyn just announced them for August 27th and I think I'm gonna be in Minnesota visiting my mom that week. God dammit!!!

Tell your mom she needs to visit you for some fine modern music.

My wife will murder me if we don't go to MN that week bcuz she needs her State Fair fix. I can only hope they announce a Turf Club date that week as well...

think they're playing the MN state fair too.

Oh tyler why u braek hart, that is such a beautiful vision.

And at 3pm at the Miracle Of Birth Pavilion-- Zeni Geva!

fried dough + fried amps

Just picked up the vinyl + cd today. Just how I envisioned it to be - pure heavy chaotic bliss.

Out today, huh?

I'm guessing as a solid Six Organs fan and someone consistently getting into Sun City Girls as I come across their ridiculously OOP albums, I would be doing myself an immense disservice to not pick this up immediately?

correct.

really sucks that Touch & Go is gone, Drag City has shitty distribution now. My local store has been trying to get this into stock for the last week or so, unsuccessfully.

It wasn't "available" before today, though.

Yeah, I've noticed it takes an extra week or two, sometimes, for Drag City stuff to show up on local shelves.

xp

Although I did see the Joanna Newsom album on shelves *before* release day... so maybe their distribution model is just fucked?

Looking forward to grabbing this gem!

can anyone recommend any other good jams from the dragcity store since i'm already ordering?

the new Cave 12-inch is pretty killer

A few excellent releases from last year:

Om - God Is Good
Jim O'Rourke - The Visitor
Six Organs - Luminous Night

the Helena Espvall & Masaki Batoh records are both excellent

Richard Bishop- The Freak Of Araby

would go nicely with the Rangda album

thanks guys! think i'm going with latest six organs, looks sweet

If it's not too late I fully recommend http://www.dragcity.com/products/empty-the-sun - Chasny in really schweeet acoustic mode (mostly [iirc]) and the novel that comes with it is kind of a blast too

Richard Bishop- The Freak Of Araby

would go nicely with the Rangda album

Disagree. I love Rick Bishop to death... but this is, for lack of a better term, his "dinner party" album.

It wasn't "available" before today, though.

― Trip Maker,

Somehow Sonic Boom records in Seattle had both formats for sale last friday. Also picked up the new Cave 12" same day. Got 'em shipped out early I suppose. But did NOT see them at Everyday Music.

yeah, I didn't mean to imply that my local store was trying to get it before release date, just that they told me yesterday that they had been unable to get any copies in yet...

Is there a US tour?

press release said US dates are booked, but I haven't seen any (and there aren't any on the Drag City site)

Last week of August at Knitting Factory is the only definite I've seen-- see upthread.

Just ordered this from the DC store. WOOOOO!

Bring on the tour dates and please please come to Texas k thx guys!

just got this on vinyl, threw it on, ecstasy.

but hey Drag City where the hell is my download code, get with it dudes.

I ripped the CD if you need a digital copy, sleeve

doing it now, but thanks.

man "Fist Family" is some continuous pummeling action

Yeah no kidding. The last track is a killer and so epic.

that, "Plain of Jars" -- which is my current favorite

It almost sounds like a Velvet Underground song.

loving the jazzy breaks at the end of "Serrated Edges".

press release said US dates are booked, but I haven't seen any (and there aren't any on the Drag City site)

Looks they are also playing Flywheel in Easthampton, MA on September 6th

www.flywheelarts.org

got the LP. godlke

holy christ is this great. yeah 'Plain of Jars' is like up there with Butterfield 'East/West', Quicksilver 'The Fool', Hendrix 'Third Stone' .. all the other epics

Man Oh Man does this record ever deliver.

yeah, been listening to this a lot -- if you think you might like it, you will!

Loved these guys live in Glasgow last night; they were really raging & having fun with it...

due to complete memory failure i only got to this in time to see the second half. it cleansed my head.

So mad I will miss the NYC date.

great pics as always, krakow!

yeah, this fuckin' ruled - nearest thing i cld compare it to was keith moon sitting in w/ crazy horse or something... loved how HEAVY it was

altho' i was a bit bummed out by the pretty sparse attendance, the lack of jostling and chattering really let me get deep fried in the music - and i was only woken from my reverie by david k33nan shouting "unbelievable" behind me.

this youtube clip doesn't really do em justice, but still
