Live Show: Lotus Plaza @ Eyedrum (9/22/09)

lotus

Last night’s Lotus Plaza show exceeded my expectations and was about as good as it gets for a one man live show. Lockett Pundt (Deerhunter) looped his guitar playing and singing into slow, meticulous build ups. He also played material from The Floodlight Collective with a sampler aiding in filling out all of the parts. Considering this was his first ever solo show, everything sounded extremely tight. The Tree Creature boys recorded the audio (and did an a great job, it sounds amazing) and Bradford Cox posted it on the Deerhunter blog mere hours after it taking place, so if you want to download it, go get it here. Give a listen to the whole 43 minute set:

Live Review: Dan Deacon, Ultimate Reality, Toy Party Attack (1/7/08) Eyedrum

Last Monday night we went to the non-profit art gallery Eyedrum. After a long wait for the doors to open, we went inside and got ready for the show. The first act of the night was a guy dressed like he was from the great depression and sporting an antique looking guitar and a banjo (I think). He sang with what I would describe as an extreme satirical version of Tom Waits voice, but this guy was completely serious. He did two songs and then some woman who was with him took over playing some other weird stringed instrument and did some songs. After that Toy Party Attack took over:

Toy Party Attack was a duo made up of Bean from Lenny’s and a dude who works at Criminal Records. They employed a wide array of musical toys and gadgets. If I could imagine some kids taking these devices and being the most skillfully annoying they could possibly be with them, that is how I would describe TPA. I dug it. Also, one of the guys would run into the crowd and grab people and push people around and was probably on the cusp of getting his ass beat.

After that fiasco, it was time for Ultimate Reality, which is a film by Jimmy Joe Roche that splices together Arnold Schwarzenegger movies in a really trippy way with Dan Deacon scoring the music. As they show the movie on a projector, two drummers sit in front of the screen and play to the music:
