Oneida August 29, 2008 South Street Seaport – Flac and MP3 Downloads

Oneida SS Seaport LaPutt
[photo by Chris LaPutt – Prefix Mag – complete set [here]]

On Friday night, Oneida performed their new album Preteen Weaponry for the first time in NYC and the scene could not have been more surreal and yet completely appropriate. As the black rain clouds hovered overhead and the holiday crowd filtered in and around the Seaport, Oneida dipped into their bag of magic tricks and pulled out the most psychedelic prog-rock music they have produced to date — an album with influences from A Saucerful of Secrets to Bug — that could have been appropriately performed in 1968, 1988 or 2008.

As Bobby rose from his keyboard seat to strap on the bass for much of the Preteen set, the center stage of the band shifted to Kid Millions. The keys and guitars set the mood for the album and sustain the long-form melodic structure, but its the drums that are the lead instrument on this album. Kid propels the band while beating relentlessly in double time. Each part of Preteen molds directly into the next, but it is the consistent perfection of the beat that provided the backbone for this outstanding performance.

We recorded this set from a fine position inside of the soundboard tent, and we are quite grateful to the excellent sound crew for the permission to get under their tent and avoid the rain. We are doubly fortunate that the wind did not hamper this recording and we were able to capture this excellent concert with a superb recording. Enjoy!

John Vanderslice announced this morning to his fans that he is returning to NYC in October to perform at the new 92Y Tribeca location on October 18. The concert is part of a series called “18 Nights of Inspiration”.

In other Vanderslice news, John is hard at work on a new album. He announced on his site that he will record the new songs in October at his studio Tiny Telephone. Vanderslice will do a full fledged tour with those songs in 2009, and return to NYC for several dates in March.

nyctaper recorded John when he was last in NYC at Mercury Lounge in March [here].

Xiu Xiu August 28, 2008 Bowery Ballroom – Flac and MP3 Downloads

Xiu Xiu performed a tight fifty-five minute set to a nearly completely reverent crowd at Bowery Ballroom on Thursday night. On tour in support of their latest CD Women as Lovers, Xiu Xiu is anchored by the frenetic and captivating stage presence of leader Jamie Stewart but musically propelled as a trio by the superb percussion work of Ches Smith. Although the set was a nice mix of old and newer material, the brevity of the set and lack of encore left a sense of incompleteness to an otherwise excellent performance.

We recorded from the perfect location in this venue with our best mobile rig and the results are outstanding. Enjoy!

Evangelista was also recorded and will be posted next week.

This recording is now available for Download in FLAC and MP3 at Archive.org [HERE].

Oneida at South Street Seaport on Friday Night (final River2River Show)

The final outdoor concert of the RiverToRiver season will feature our old favorites Oneida. The show takes place Friday night (8/29) at the South Street Seaport, and begins at 7 p.m. Oneida should begin their set around 8 p.m., although there is rumored to be a “special guest”, or as the website calls it “one more”. This week we spoke to Kid from Oneida via email to confirm our permission to record this show. Kid has no idea about a special guest or who the “one more” might be.

We have recorded Oneida three times this year — Knitting Factory in February (here), at Market Hotel in March (here), and at The Kitchen in June (still working on the rights to post).
