Hi, all... Here's a reminder and directions about and to my gig in Atlanta this weekend. If you're in or around the area, please try to come out. Thanks! Sincerely, Jeff McLeod .....saturday....november 20....at eyedrum.... STULL free thinking trio from birmingham SHHHHH free feeling trio from atlanta 10 p.m. call 404-581-0961 for more info 253 trinity ave. downdowntown near capitol. Stull is an improvising trio from Montgomery, AL that specializes in beating tired musical forms out of sleep and into death. In the course of one improvisation, one might be treated to massive, nightmarish soundscapes, lovely twee melodies, skull-rattling skronk, hot-dog Yngwie Malmsteen on acid licks, brain-licking prog/psych rock . . . or good-old, flat-out noise. The trio is made up of the regular guitar, bass and drum lineup--and is fleshed out by loops, toys, devices and beatable objects. Band members are journeyman drummer/guitarist Tracy Harris (who has played and worked with members of prog acts Bosch and Red Hush), bassist Willie Johnson (of noise-core math rockers Vox Humana) and guitarist Jeff McLeod (formerly of noise rock unit bert and now performing solo under the moniker of Gezoleen). Stull's new CD is out now on the Subversive Workshop label and under extrememly limited distro here in the US--and is soon to be available in Europe via the great Free Land Records of Italy. SHHHHHHH consists of ben young, marshall avett, and ben lawless . the unholy tastes of B and M, banned from both dotties and the red light cafe with their merciless 1s2s&3s experiment, have been carelessly underdocumented through their entanglements with eyedrum and old gold. their dynamic dialogue continues unabated even as marshall branches out into free jazz (with drummer john bowman) and ben shamelessly plumbs the depths of pop music with FOREVER. with lawless, also in forever, the two are given a back drop of fanciful rythmic twists that animate the colors between the lines of their scattered compositions. as though chris cutler were playing for war. or vice versa. a styrofoam bath of sweet magical embellishments plague the reversible foundation of balloon popping sonic tomfoolery. a meeting of minds in a minefield of unbridled enthusiasm turned callous and confused. http://www.pd.org/~zeug/EYEDRUM/eyedrum-sched.html BLESS THIS MESS Directions: EYEDRUM is a not-for-profit space and asks that visitors fork over a small donation to help pay rent and support performers in Atlanta and from around the country.
