BLACK PUS
DAN FRIEL
MXLX
Monday 23 September
Tufnell Park Dome, 178 Junction Road, Tufnell Park, N19 5QQ
8pm | £8.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/223545
BLACK PUS is Brian Chippendale, who
rose to prominence as the drummer of noise rock titans Lightning Bolt and
Mindflayer. The first Black Pus CD-R was self released in early 2006, and was a
collection of ferocious free jazz, multi-tracked on Chippendale’s cassette
four-track. He refined the Black Pus sound over numerous self-released CDs and
2011’s Primordial Pus on Load Records, replacing the saxophone with an
drum-mounted oscillator and experimenting with pop structures. The oscillator
creates gigantic bass tones that are then fed through a series of pedals. Over
the course of the past several years Chippendale has been hand-picked by Björk
and The Flaming Lips as a collaborator, and recruited by Andrew W.K. for Lee
“Scratch” Perry’s 2008 album 'Repentance'. New album, 'All My Relations', was
released earlier this year on Thrill Jockey. Chippendale’s furious drumming
style is ever present and instantly recognizable, but the pop element, which
Chippendale explored in more contained ways on earlier Black Pus releases, is
more fully integrated. Tracks like “1000 Years” and “Hear No Evil” bear a snarl
and a smile, the sound of wild abandon that is both aggressive and inviting.
Chippendale creates maximalist music out of the simple elements of drums,
vocals, and an oscillator triggered by the kick drum, looping and repeating
phrases and rhythms in a way that can only be called meditative. The album
closes with “A Better Man,” an almost ten minute epic that expertly alternates
between the minimal pulse of the kick drum and oscillator and some of the most
voracious and unrestrained drumming on the album.

DAN FRIEL has spent the last decade home brewing electronic music that is equal parts ragged, punk, psychedelic and glorious, armed with an arsenal of thriftstore pedals and noisemakers splayed across his lap. Following the recent 'Valedictorian /Exoskeleton' EP, which was called “a giddy, abrasive gem” by Under The Radar and “bottled raw power” by the BBC, new album 'Total Folklore' retains the melodic prowess of Friel’s previous work while harnessing considerable rhythmic power to back it up. 'Total Folklore' is an urban album, the jagged, overblown electronics mimicing the grit and chaos of Brooklyn. As a fan of the epic walk, Friel channeled the commuter while writing and recording these songs. In fact, many songs are paced specifically with walking in mind. The album is peppered with recordings Friel made on his phone while walking around cities, from the sound of kids playing basketball in Brooklyn to the sound of a Con Edison strike in Manhattan, to the sound of the inside of a panchinko parlor in Tokyo. The album opens with the majestic “Ulysses,” a 12-minute epic anchored by crunching beats and shimmering arpeggios before launching into “Windmills” and the instantly arresting “Valedictorian”. Throughout, Friel includes short intermissions, improvisations and field recordings, as if the listener is waiting on the corner for the walk signal. From the screeching glissando of the synths of “Scavengers” to the frenetic pulse of “Thumper,” Dan Friel captures the energy and irreverence of punk, while keeping a foot firmly planted on the streets of electronic pop.

MXLX is the latest nom de noise of Matt Loveridge, who lives in Bristol and has a swinging sack of projects on the stove at any one time. The ones you probably know best are TEAM BRICK, which he’s been doing for nearly a decade now, and BEAK>, where he joined musicians including Geoff out of Portishead. On the evidence out there so far, MXLX is veering back to his droney noise roots, but he has the sound down to a tee these days, and knows how to make the most of apparently simple sonic materials.

FUZZ
FEELING OF LOVE
THE PAPERHEAD
Friday 27 September
Tufnell Park Dome, 178 Junction Road, Tufnell Park, N19 5QQ
8pm | £10.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/232608
FUZZ is Ty Segall (drums / vocals),
Charlie Moothart (guitar / vocals) and Roland Cosio (bass). They’re heavy rock
lifers - three Californiabred dudes who have been refining their riffs and
getting weird together since high school (which wasn’t that long ago,
actually). If you are not already aware of Segall, well, what’s up? He’s one of
garage rock’s most prolific sons. He said he was going to take it easy this
year, but by the time you finish reading this, the onesheet for his next record
will have already arrived in your inbox. Moothart plays guitar in The Ty Segall
Band and was also a member of The Moonhearts, which included Cosio on guitar.
Way back in the early ’00s, all three played in the Epsilons. Fuzz was formed a
couple years ago as a collaboration between Segall and Moothart, but only
recently did the pair have sufficient time to guide the band out of
side-project limbo and into a recording studio. Since then, they have released
two singles, “This Time I Got a Reason” (Trouble In Mind) and “Sleigh Ride” (In
The Red). Around the time of the latter, Cosio joined on bass. They are not
dabblers or dilettantes. Fuzz flipped through used bins, hard drives and record
collections of the world, seeking out the finest weirdo cuts. The band’s self-titled
debut LP, which was recorded by Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, The
Intelligence), dives deep, drawing inspiration from the more esoteric reaches
of heavy metal pre-history. There are Sabbath and Hendrix nods, obviously, but
on “Sleigh Bells” you might also catch a whiff of UK progressive blues business
like The Groundhogs, particularly when the song quits its 10/4-time intro and
reboots into fullbore choogle. Maybe you’ll even glimpse the ghost of
Australian guitar legend / sharpie guru Lobby Lloyde sniffing around “Raise.”
The mood is not light. The songs project a state of perpetual paranoia and
eroding mental health. And as it should be, you know? It’s a record for the
burners.http://www.intheredrecords.com/pages/FUZZ.html
FEELING OF LOVE evolved from a one-man-band playing minimal and nihilist garage blues with a no wave nod, to a trio firmly enthralled to the garage vibe but with added krautrock and psychedelic leanings. Songs stretch out, the drums go more tribal, the synth hammers out to infinity, and the guitar gets lost in delay pedal’s fog. One thinks Suicide, Spacemen 3, The Velvet Underground, Pussy Galore. But The Feeling of Love also love cats, Kurt Cobain, Michael Jordan, Francis Bebey, Bob Dylan and the highway. From the begining, the band has played around Europe and in the United States, with such bands as The Intelligence, Ty Segall, Strange Boys, Movie Star Junkies, Black Lips, Magnetix, Cheveu, Girls, King Khan & the Shrines, Movie Star Junkies, etc. Check out their armfuls of releases now at the band camp link below...
http://thefeelingoflove.bandcamp.com/
THE PAPERHEAD are a Nashville, Tennessee trio, creating psych-pop gems that have seemingly been stashed in a secret vault since 1968. The band’s 2010 self-titled debut LP contained all the elements of a classic British psych album, earning the group favourable comparisons to The Pretty Things and White Album-era Beatles. On hiatus while they completed their college degrees, the group returned with last year’s acclaimed 7” ‘Pictures Of Her Demise’, described as a poppier take on the mesmeric drone of Spacemen 3, in addition to a four-way split 7” on Trouble In Mind Records for Record Store Day.
