Kayo Dot in Asheville

the drone band is called Growing. The drone fans in KD (Ryan, DJ, John) were blown away by them - I also thought they were stellar. And Orthrelm were Holy Shit.

holy shit i forgot orthrelm was on that show!!!

did weasel walter wear his nazi outfit?

 

[chupe666]

is weasel walter in orthrelm?

i still have a hatewave lp he sent me for the radio show. they were great live.

 

[xfer]

i don't think he always was but i seem to remember he has been playing with them recently?

 

[FalseTodd]

orthrelm = 2 people, mick and josh

So that means it wasn't the first band with the older female violinist, and the third drone band was called Growing, and then the second band went by life in the sky, featuring some awesome drumming. So, unless there was a 5th strictly 2 member band after FUCKING ENDLESS OVER TEN MINUTE FUCKING NOTE GARBAGE SHIT when I was taking my frustration at suffering through a single extended SINGLE FUCKING NOTE for more then TEN GOD FORSAKEN MINUTES on some delicious brownies in the car, I don't recall hearing more than 4 bands.

Growing and Orthrelm sort of combined their sets, so in total there was probably well over an hour of music that many people find monotonous. (Not me, obviously, and not passing judgement on people who don't dig the repitition)

PS it was awesome to meet the dope, osmose, gecko etc. crew, as well as the multitude of other board peeps...

(PPS Orthrelm would be the band that play the same 1.5 second high-E string riff for 3 minutes at a time, as opposed to the swelling bassitude of Growing)

That one-note-for-20-minutes shit meant one thing: standing around outside.

 

[Danolich]

Wow that place looks fucking awesome! Such a perfect enviornment for a KD show.

The art on the walls added considerably to the environment, though as DJ and I discussed, the bare concrete and steel were miserable for the acoustics, though the sound was incredible despite the less than ideal conditions.

The best part was when Andrew Dickson accidentally scratched a picture when he knocked a mic stand over...

 

[xfer]

hmmm I wonder if Weasel played with Orthrelm only for a handful of shows, or even one-off? where did I hear that?

 

[xfer]

Dickson was there?!?!

 

[ImNoHippy]

growing was fucking awesome. (if you like that sort of thing)

 

[The Dope]

I was kind of digging the birds chirping song.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Dickson was there?!?!

Yeah, with Life in the Sky. He's a nice fellow.

 

[xfer]

god damn this tour was like a MOTW reunion!

 

[rachmiel]

Weasel played with Mick and Sam Hillmer...ALSO Mick is going to go out west next year and play with Weasel some more. Weasel has never been in Orthrelm.

forbes lays down the judgment! thanks.
