One of my favorite concerts of all time was this one: http://www.newyorknighttrain.com/zine/general/live/mar/live032206.html.
SRB's set was perfectly placed between different varieties of nutso noise.

Crap the tickets link from issue project room's website says sold out. It's through brownpapertickets-- maybe it's just one of those things where they stop selling them online the day of the show?
― Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Saturday, 6 September 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
No, it was sold out. Great show! Dont miss the wfmu thing tomorrow.

Anyone else here at Monty ATM?
― Evan, Sunday, 7 September 2014 23:40 (nine years ago) link
Well, the show was fantastic!

so hamish kilgour sat in with bishop? man, that would be cool to see.
― tylerw, Monday, 8 September 2014 15:13 (nine years ago) link
He did! He just kinda casually screwed around with a plastic djembe and a few other percussion instruments. They did an unrehearsed little jam for a few minutes as the last number.
Richard was amazing overall though!
Tashi's set was very cool as well. Lots of tension and great use of sound with little experiments involving a bobby pin, a piece of foam & a safety pin.

oh man that would be coolhamish has such a weird drumming style! i like it.
kinda bummed that i missed srb show here but o well

I was afraid I would! I drove to the venue and found a spot around the corner. Was kind of failing at parallel parking for 6 minutes as Richard sat on the sidewalk next to me smoking a hand rolled cigarette or perhaps a joint. I decided not to say hi...
― Evan, Monday, 8 September 2014 16:07 (nine years ago) link
wait fuck tashi dorji played the sunday night show as well? dammit. After saturday sold out I didn't try to get it together for sunday bc I really wanted to see dorji as much as SRB. I'm stupid.
― Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Monday, 8 September 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
He's playing Union Pool tomorrow night! There are still tickets. I've been asked to spread the word.
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Friday, 10 April 2015 04:36 (nine years ago) link
he's amazing live and i strongly recommend going
― Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope. (forksclovetofu), Friday, 10 April 2015 04:41 (nine years ago) link
He sure is. Opener is Robert Millis (not a known name to me)
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Friday, 10 April 2015 04:43 (nine years ago) link
Millis was way more trad singer/acoustic guitar strummer than I expected but he did play one more experimental piece in the beginning.
― groundless round (La Lechera), Friday, 10 April 2015 13:18 (nine years ago) link
Bishop is in Arlington, VA Saturday night
― curmudgeon, Friday, 10 April 2015 13:24 (nine years ago) link
Robert Millis was in Climax Golden Twins, they are old friends
― sleeve, Friday, 10 April 2015 15:00 (nine years ago) link
