RECKNO 09
Friday, June 12th 2009 - The Gander
It lives! RECKNO returns with it's most feral line up yet:
TALIBAM!
Talibam! is one of the most potent and fascinating bands in today's music scene. The five plus years of interplay between Mottel and Shea has created one of the most unique and exciting live shows and some of the most powerfully recorded documents of any era. At a time when most culture sticks to conservative niche opportunities, Talibam! is interested in expansion and exploration; They manage to part the sea by not sticking to genre, aesthetic predisposition or the usual norms of what being a 'band' is. More inclined to put on a show that any and all will like, and not be stymied by 'avant' type casting, they have won over both unsuspecting and in the 'know' audiences worldwide. The energy of Kevin Shea's full steam drumming is not to be missed, nor is the primal tone of Mottel's synth run through a Marshall Half Stack. Since 2006, Matt Mottel (synthesizer) and Kevin Shea (drums) have toured Europe seven times & released 15 albums -- of their 3 European tours in 2008, the last was 6 weeks & 12 countries. They have releases on Azul Discografica, Evolving Ear, Pendu Sounds, Wallace Records, Holiday Records, Thors Rubber Hammer, Ecstatic Peace, Gaffer Records, Blackest Rainbow, & others.

A taste:

ALPINE LAGER - Jefferson Starship from epic thinkers Sunshine Republic in solo mode. Sheppard of skull scraping brain fry that can last between 5 mins or 2 hours. Expect: heavy feedback webs, feral throat panic, and scorched-rainbow keyboard/guitar wigging. Like a 1.5 second loop from the end segment of Purple Rain turned up to 10 and set to 'bliss'.

MC COC OEN - A rare solo treat from the Delicate Hammers main man. The King of wrong hop. A one man obsidian brainsaw with book mouth gushing frothy dictionary vomit. We've been trying to get him to RECKNO for years. Do not miss this, your children will blank you for it.

THE CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL COSMOS CATLIN, RICHARD PETER PRESTON, ALAN JAMES READ TRIO - Combining to create pissed blissed out waterfalls of loud beauty with a wonky strut you can wriggle to.

JESSERIT - Are a 4-piece band from Southampton that live on a farm with 3 geese, 4 chickens and numerous pigs. They love what they do and take being a band very seriously, second only to being human beings and third only to avoiding proper jobs. If you like their music please tell your friends to do the same, then hack the songs off their profile and post torrents.

MASSACRE - I haven't heard a single note from Massacre. They have no myspace or Website. They describe themselves as somewhere between the Patti Smith Band and 'something really ####ing heavy'. There are 2 of them and they are swell guys.
DJ HARDSPARROW - Will be manning the DJ booth. Beach Boys to Bjork, Black Dog to Bob Log, Carter Family to Kevin "Bloody" Wilson, Poets Of Rhythm to Pentangle, Faith No More to Fence Collective, Smog to Vashti Bunyan, Ramones to Drexciya, Boredoms to Banhart, ISB to KLF, AFX to AMT, Leo Kottke to Kool Keith, Papa M to Mama Cass, Sun Ra to sun set... He takes requests too! There is no end to possibilities of endless possibilities......
