Torture Garden [feat. Wayne Horvitz] - Sat., June 7 @ The Rainbow (Seattle)
by the squeegee 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

if this is a repeat post, pardon me.... ....my previous attempts were not acknowledged. (list trouble perhaps?) whatever the case, here's the shizzit: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - a reminder & update: *TORTURE GARDEN: the music of John Zorn's Naked City (feat. Naked City's Wayne Horvitz) plus very special guests: (*just added!*) *Tion (opening for Torture Garden's 2nd set) *Labyrinth & the Desert (opening the 1st set) will appear live on SATURDAY, JUNE 7th at THE RAINBOW 722 NE 45th St. (@ I-5) / Seattle / 10pm / $10 (door) http://www.therainbowlivemusic.com / 206.634.1761 *Torture Garden will be playing the wild music of John Zorn's legendary Naked City, highlighting their great early-nineties Torture Garden album - THE classic avant-punk recording. Wayne Horvitz, a keyboardist, composer, bandleader (Zony Mash, 4+1 Ensemble), and original member of John Zorn's Naked City, is preparing to play a few long-anticipated Naked City reunion shows later this month (in Europe), and he very much looks forward to cranking up these unforgettable compositions at The Rainbow this coming Sat., June 7th, with an all-star Seattle-based ensemble - and alongside two very special guest acts: Labyrinth & The Desert and Tion. Further details for this amazing Torture Garden assemblage, and their incredibly talented (and also Seattle-based) openers can be found below. Do not miss this powerful show, starring an electrifying, leading-edge array of some of Seattle's most entertaining instrumentalists, both established and emerging... Background & Personnel: Naked City's intense and groundbreaking music, composed by John Zorn, combines a myriad of undiluted musical styles - often all in the same song! (everything from hardcore punk, free jazz, grindcore, bebop, heavy metal, rhythm & blues, country & western, funk, swing, surf, rockabilly, cartoon & film music, and just about everything else imaginable!). This gritty supergroup influenced scores of bands - including The Boredoms and Mr. Bungle, whose singers (Yamantaka Eye and Mike Patton) both performed extensively with Naked City. *Torture Garden: Wayne Horvitz (Zony Mash, 4+1 Ensemble)- keys Brad Mowen (Apes of Wrath, The Shorter Bus)- vocals Timothy Young (Zony Mash, V, The Youngs)- guitar Fred Chalenor (Pigpen, Land, Curlew)- bass Mike Stone (Pigpen, Crack Sabbath)- drums *Tion: Luke Laplante (Scary Bear)- keys Ben Reagan (Feederz)- drums "instrumental Devo + Napalm Death, in keyboard overdrive" *Labyrinth & the Desert: Andrew McInnis (She-Level)- guitar/drums, simultaneously!

Spring Heel Jack (No Zorn)
by Richard Gardner 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Thought you might like to know that Thirsty Ear have released a Spring Heel Jack album called "Live" recorded in January on the UK tour that Alistair and I raved about at the time. It features Ashley Wales and John Coxon joined by William Parker, Matthew Shipp, Evan Parker and J Spaceman. It will give a good idea of how that tour sounded with two 35 minute improvised pieces included. Also been listening to the new Steve Coleman + Five Elelments: "On the Rising of the 64 Paths". Looser than Resistance is Futile with a definite acoustic feel and a nice woody bass sound and riffy brass writing. Altogether a fine recording from an excellent band. Cheers Richard Gardner
