Joel Stern

Old hat Joel Stern (OtherFilm, Abject Leader, Sky Needle) decidedly more playful than the last few times I’ve seen him perform solo, here with warped beats and that siren whilst taking full use of his table of custom/bent gear guided by sensitive knob twiddling transposed over a heavy-handed lesson in sulcus crochet.

Ross (Sky Needle) is hold up in the corner crouched over a mixer and one his own built-instruments: A couple of hanging, mic’d cymbals with a fan spinning it’s blade into them, fed through the mixer etc. It’s a disorientating sound particularly listening back to it on headphones as I couldn’t find the center and he gives the audience an encore so I’ve joined both here.

Brainbeau

I’d been looking forward to seeing Brainbeau perform live for ages, stories about their busking days drew me in: Playing for anyone and the drunks with that kind of unheralded talent behind the kits? Chelsea on drums, kneeled on the ground surrounded by beaten-up thrift gear, Katie up on dual keyboards & processing. Laid-back frosty waves of off-kilter coiling rhythms infiltrating the audience as they move undfro in synchronicity to the miasma permeating from the speaker cones.

I missed WTEM.

7PM – FREE – AA + BYO

The eleventh installment of Disembraining Machine. I’ve got live bootlegs of Pastel Blaze, Warden Burger, and Wtem.

Oft-travelling Wtem, Rin & Will, in Rosie’s downstairs bar on a Wednesday night competing with Sky Needle & Kitchen’s Floor across town for the crowd. Downstairs is actually very nice on a Wednesday. A low ceiling, below street level and oh shit the dank! The dank! Had a pint of Old, fair price. Lots of dark places to stew in or rope a good pash.

Wtem performed a few weeks ago in Burnett Lane but I walked in half-way through. Clipping feedback with keys, looped’n'warped beats & a guitar, their stage get-up is worth the hour’s bus-trip alone with the elaborate lit-up masks & the odd prop or two. The volume steadily increased as the set wore on, the glass-shaking beat matched my heart’s a few times, and damn it if there were only a few more people there’d be quite a few scuffs on this sticky floor.
