Hey everyone!
Holy shit! Best news EVER!!!!
Damo Suzuki is on his way to Poole for a gig or some shit!!!!
But before that he stops for one night only at Crawdaddy to play with Makoto Kawabata from Acid Mothers Temple.
OMG!
Fleshing out the sound will be:
Paul Condon (Bass) www.myspace.com/mahoodsings
Fergus Cullen (Keyboards/Clarinet) www.myspace.com/electonicsensoriaband
Barry Murphy (Laptop/Percussion) www.myspace.com/thelastsound
And me on drums. The gig costs €12.50 and doors are at 8pm. Not sure about support (all applications considered...be quick), but the gig will be quite long it seems!
So the HELL with the Meat Puppets, and god DAMN The Present...Do yourself a favour on the second of December...that's NEXT TUESDAY!!!!! HA HA HA!!!, take yourself out to Crawdaddy, and enjoy Damo's first gig here since the breathtaking appearance in the Spiegeltent with the Jimmy Cake and the fantasticker tour a few years ago with UBS, WOMD, E+S=B and some crazy Cork dudes with Dave Lacey or something who didn't have an acronym for a name.
Any of you who have read this far probably know this stuff but...
Damo sometimes sounds like this: http://www.bardopond.org/bardo_damo.html
(Damo with Bardo Pond)
And Makoto sounds like this:
(Mental AMT version of La Novia in the Knitting Factory)
These links should give you a rough flavour of what to expect.
And when they met, it was MOIDER. Etc etc.
Damo Suzuki, formerly vocalist with Can during their most creatively fertile period , has been touring the world constantly over the last few years, playing with local musicians, making spontaneously created music.
From www.damosuzuki.de " I like every concert. When everyone is in the same space and time are very happy. For me it is a really great moment, sometimes, even teardrops start falling because of my happiness. I feel very lucky to be in this moment with such an audience."
From www.acidmotherstemple.com
"Music, for me, is neither something that I create, nor a form of self-expression. All kinds of sounds exist everywhere around us, and my performances solely consist of picking up these sounds, like a radio tuner, and playing them so that people can hear them. However, maybe because my reception is somewhat off, I am unable to perfectly reproduce these sounds. That is why I spend my days rehearsing.
Where do these sounds come from? Who is sending them out? That is not something for me to know, and neither is there any way that I could find out. I simply believe that they come from the 'cosmos'. (Maybe other people would call God the source). Since I was a small child I have been prone to hearing ringing sounds in my ears and other sound phantasms. At the time, I believed that these were messages aimed directly at me from a UFO, and so I would gaze up at the sky. But once I started playing music myself, I came to feel that these noises were a kind of pure sound. And I promised myself that one day I would be able to play those sounds myself. It is only recently that I have begun to feel that I have been able to come close to reproducing these sounds in my solo guitar work, and in my INUI project.
However, in June of 1999, I finally discovered my own 'cosmos' and I experienced an instant of total union with it!! That 'cosmos' is still tiny in size - although any cosmos can, by its very nature, be infinitely huge or infinitely small. The energy and vibrations contained within that it far exceeded my imagination in scope and beauty. I can only describe the miraculous instant when my 'cosmos' accepted my consciousness as MAGIC.
I'm sure Potrid of these parts could give a similarly eloquent quote on the roots of what the rest of us do.
So to recap:
Damo Suzuki / Makoto Kawabata
With Paul Condon / Fergus Cullen / Barry Murphy / Me
Crawdaddy, Tuesday next, December 02
€12.50, Doors at 8pm.
On another note....did any of you notice the posters around town for the missing puppet? It's a little jester puppet and belongs to that guy who performs on Grafton St, (also all over the country), and the posters say it's either been lost or stolen...pity, he's really talented, and the puppet is cool. Must be a big deal for this guy, just thought I'd let you know.
Think that's about it.
BBB out.
