black heart procession @richards on richards::


...i was late enough arriving that i caught the second act ,jerk with a bomb just as they were getting underway.jwab have several releases on scratch records and have been on the vancouver scene since 1996. i am a little bit sad that i have not made the effort to hear them before this. i was quite impressed with their alt.country flavoured tunes.the duo were fleshed out with two additional players giving them a nice full sound. the drummer also played keyboard while singing back-up vocals. how the hell he cold get his brain to do all that at once is a mystery to me.
...bhp werea 5 piece on this evening. paulo/pall's vocals were amazingly strong and the playing of the group was very tight.concentrating at first on tunes from their latest Amore del Tropico and sprinkling some older tunes later in the set .switching off on instruments the playing was superb. paulo, being the singer, was the focus and dressed all in black like a gunslinger with his greasy black hair tucked behing his ears, was a real presence. not one to talk to the audince he let the music do the talking. no real interaction with the crowd but no one seemed to concerned especially when he pulled out his saw in the middle of the set and bowed it to eery effect on a couple of songs. as i am sure you can tell, i was a fan and am an even more ardent fan after this show.

....went down to see sotl last night at this very intimate setting.i would estimate there to be no more tha 90 people at this show and with a $7 canadian admission! how the hell can these guys tour on that? i am not complaining though as it isn't often i get to see such an interesting event.sotl bring their own soundman and projectionist with them.the projections really add a lot to the experience as sotl songs tend to drone on [in a good way] quite a bit. what's going on behind gives you something else to focus on. the duo don't really play music from the albums as much as they bastardize them.it truly is amazing how large and symphonic the sound is from two men using guitars and effects.

...loscil also played as they are lablemates and he resides here in vancouver.very glad to have finally caught his performance as i had missed him a couple weeks earlier at another show. i believe he played stuff from his new album submers. as i have yet to hear this i am not quite sure. i am sure that i will get it after hearing him last night.

....also performing were ken gibson and cowbells. gibson is the soundguy for sotl and the peice he did was very interesting. it had many shifts in ambience and added beats partway through.ending with a very loud cresendo that had me believing my ears were gonna be toast.very nice up til that point,i would like to hear more from him.cowbells is a fellow i know as brady from zulu records. his stuff was all done from a mac and had alot in common with pole and oval. all in all a very good night of electronic musik.

...new to me blog that is great with reviews and shit.no matter what you heard has a review of the new black heart procession cd "
amore del tropico" which sounds interesting. not having heard their latest but being a fan of their first three,i have high hopes for this one. although i think that the dark edge they have is alright i am glad to hear they have taken themselves in a slightly new direction. bhp are in town this thursday and i quite looking forward to seeing them.
