BOOTLEG: MARL CARX ‘SITS OBVIOUS’ ALBUM LAUNCH. 30 APRIL ’10
Kitten Party
Rohan solo delay-drenched keyboard, also of Teen Sex. See also: Wardenburger. This was a fairly erratic project a while ago occasionally involving some harsh samples, screamy vocals but from what I’ve been witness to since then it’s been like this. I like that. KP played his first show in ages (months?) last week.

Cured Pink
Very special set this night: I’d never seen somebody throw their guitar into the roof before, particularly at a super-strict (tight?) shit hole like Rosie’s. This was great! Reel-to-reel loop backdrop with feedback’d guitar and incomprehensible vocals, wandering into the audience later to throw himself & guitar around. These days CP is adding more to this, includes chains, a reanimated bass guitar, steel beams, sheets, and hell, lighting fires. We need this.

Marl Carx
Last ever show from Marl Carx! Also the launch of their Sits Obvious album. MC was a real fun band, consisting of Michaela – drums (Dregsy) and Glen – guitar (Per Purpose, ex-Kitchen’s Floor), they played anywhere and everywhere but the houseshow sets were the best: Everyone would get involved which often resulted in rolled ankles & being wrapped up in Glen’s guitar lead. There was a rarely-played off-shoot band too, Tribal Police, which included Kitten Party and some other dude (sorry) and that band sounded like music time in the special-Ed unit. They played with pots, pans, hoses, dishes, bottles. Marl Carx produced two other CDs, self-recorded and mostly just given out to friends, anyone interested. My favorite performance was their third-last, at a houseshow, they did a dual-drum-no-vocal-mic set with three drums between the two of them and building feedback from the amps behind. Just under 10 minutes, one song and walk out of the room. It was wildest show of the night, looking over the shoulder of Bong Village (a local, hydro-influenced Foot Village tribute from Trapdoor Tapes), and totally unexpected from that of the usual guitar/drums set-up (DNA etc), then came the second-last at the squat show with monotone dual vox. Something was happening but by then the energy diminished and then it was killed. A few months, maybe even just under a year from that squat show this Last Ever show was put on. This night saw them with Harry (Loomer) on bass duties and some audience members climbing up the P.A. stands, surfing, into the band’s space. I had to stand right back to record it, unfortunately, wouldn’t have minded to have lost some skin again.
