Garcia Peoples: October 24, 2019 Nublu 151

We’re close to winding down on Garcia Peoples residency shows. Here’s week number 4 and things are still running hot. Like the previous week, the band shares a couple new tracks: “Gliding Through,” which we heard first over the summer at Brooklyn Bowl, along with “Wasted Time” and its intro jam. This was also our first chance to see “Hourglass” live. That one came out on the Hans Chew & Garcia Peoples collaboration and features some live vocals from Andy Cush. Finally, the band closes with a monster version of “Rolling Tides” that was so great we forgave them for repeating the track during their residency.

Meanwhile, One Step Behind is still fresh and is popping up on lots of year-end lists all over. If you haven’t done so, grab one! Garcia Peoples also have a ton of shows coming up throughout the US. Check out their tour dates for a show near you!

I recorded this from our usual location at Nublu. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Prince Rupert’s Drops: October 24, 2019 Nublu 151

December 1, 2019
By

Prince Rupert’s Drops delivered a real blast from the (sorta recent) NYC psych scene past as they reformed in October—one night only!—to open for Garcia Peoples during their Nublu residency. For those new to the band, they were part of Beyond Beyond is Beyond’s early roster, as well as a fixture at NYC venues legal and not-so-much. They even played our 5th Anniversary shindig at 285 Kent. How’s that for we knew them when? Whether you were going out to see PRD headline a show or found them somewhere in the middle of a bill, they were always solid and maybe taken for granted. That is until they were gone, having begun a hiatus around 2014/5 or so after releasing the truly excellent Climbing Light. But here they are back, briefly, playing for a nostalgic crowd but not sounding at all nostalgic themselves. Certainly it’s time for some appreciation for Prince Rupert’s Drops and maybe they can be convinced to stick around a little longer.

I recorded this from our usual location at Nublu. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Whereas week two of Garcia Peoples’ Nublu residency celebrated One Step Behind with an extra-long outing of its title track, the band gets back to the shorter tunes in the third week. With Danny Arakaki handling most of the vocals, the band debuts two new songs: “This Place” and the embryonic “Terry” with some improvised vocals. The real standout though is the opening “Total Yang” into “I Ain’t Hurt.” Neither song has ever sounded as sweet as they do here.

Garcia Peoples’ October residency at Nublu was a resounding success. For five Thursdays the band brought out old songs, new songs, special guests, and terrific openers. Night one of the residency was posted last month and in the next week or so we’ll be sharing the rest of the recordings.

Night two was the record release show for One Step Behind, their most ambitious record yet. Just two songs, with the title track clocking in at 30 minutes and featuring Tom’s father Bob Malach on saxophone. Of all the residency shows, this night was my most anticipated, not only because it was a chance again to hear “One Step Behind” after a long absence from setlists, but also because the elder Malach would be joining them on saxophone to bring the record to life. It did not disappoint, to say the very least. Stretching the track to nearly 50 minutes, the band improvises in each of the song’s parts, once more reminding us how great this band is and how thrilling and worthwhile live music can be.

Sunburned Hand of the Man: October 3, 2019 Nublu

November 8, 2019
By

Sunburned Hand of the Man are the type of act that people might call “hard to pin down.” Over their sprawling catalog (their sprawling bandcamp page has only a fraction of their 100+ titles) these guys’ music runs the gamut from the bizarre (“Clowns In Jail”) to the improvisationally psychedelic (the “Blizzard of Zozz” show we recorded in 2017) to bordering-on-conventional songs (recently-released “microdose” Intentions).

This night at Nublu fell somewhat in between the two, as a relatively stripped-down version of the band performed this long-form improv with a running spoken word narrative, with a current of the occult running throughout. It felt appropriate to the season, and was a hell of a lot of fun to listen to. Dig in.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK4V microphones up front in the venue on the right side. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

Mosses: September 21, 2019 Nublu

October 9, 2019

Ryan Jewell may just be the busiest man in rock and roll. Does he eat? Does he sleep? No one knows. Between drumming with Ryley Walker, Chris Forsyth, Olden Yolk, Elkhorn, and others he’s somehow found the time to play some guitar and sing in Mosses, a duo with Danette Bordenkircher on keys and “space machines.” They’ve got a new cassette out as part of Black Dirt Studio’s Microdose series. You can listen to one song on Bandcamp but you’ll need to track down a physical copy to hear the whole thing—totally a worthwhile effort.

I recorded this from our usual location at Nublu, which is fast becoming one of our favorite NYC venues. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Chris Forsyth: September 27, 2019 Nublu

October 8, 2019

May 2020 Update: Chris Forsyth has released a multitracked recording of “Techno Top” from this show on Bandcamp. Please do head over there to purchase!

For the final night of his Nublu residency, Chris Forsyth held nothing back. The Solar Motel Band (Peter Kerlin and Ryan Jewell) are joined by Daniel Carter, Brent Cordero, Tom Malach (set one), and Ryley Walker (set two) in what is most assuredly one of the greatest Forsyth shows I’ve ever seen. For the first set Forsyth and Malach share guitar lines over tracks from All Time Present and Dreaming in the Non-Dream while Carter trades off between saxophone and horns throughout and Cordero’s keyboard pulses. Kerlin and Jewell are ever-sturdy as the rhythm section. For the second set Walker joins in on second guitar for a forty-five minute jam that begins as “The First Ten Minutes of Cocksucker Blues” and ends in outer space.

I recorded this from our usual location at Nublu. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Elkhorn: September 21, 2019 Nublu

October 2, 2019

Last weekend’s Elkhorn show at Nublu was something of a belated release party for their double-LP Sun Cycle / Elk Jam set from earlier this year. That album brings Jesse Sheppard and Drew Gardner together with Willie Lane on guitar and Ryan Jewell on drums for two sides of composed songs followed two more sides of improvisation caught during the same session. Like Sheppard comments during the show, the unique makeup of the Elkhorn quartet makes live outings of some of the songs pretty infrequent, so it was extra special to see the whole gang together for this one.

Their set begins with the duo playing “Darkness” and “Song of the Son” into “Wilderness,” before Ryan Jewell joins on tablas for “Subway Mirror Heart.” It gets into full quartet swing when Willie Lane joins for the back half of the set, playing with them on “Altun Ha,” “Seasonal” into “Distances,” and the set-closing “Train.” It’s great to see Elkhorn getting a long set and really settling in like this—we’re used to seeing way-too-brief outings from them. Let these guys stretch their, um, horns, and they’ll chart you out some new paths.

I recorded this from our usual spot at Nublu and as usual for the venue, the sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Hey, ok, we’re sorry. We didn’t attend and record the third week of the epic Chris Forsyth residency at Nublu, but hey we did the first night, and here my friends is the quite remarkable second Friday. This show featured a first set with Forsyth in a trio with bassist Peter Kerlin and percussionist Ryan Jewel, in an opening set that would have satisfied all comers if that had been the entire night. The trio was as crisp as one would expect from seasoned musicians quite intimately familiar with each other. The setlist included some new material, but also reached back into the old catalog for some Forsyth classics. The final two numbers added keyboardist extraordinaire Brent Cordero (King Missile, Psychic Ills, The Occasion) whose psychedelic styled organ colored these songs in brilliant fashion.

As if that wasn’t enough, the special bonus on this night was a full second set that brought back Kerlin on bass, but added Linda Pitmon on drums and Steve Wynn on guitar and vocals. This unique quartet gave us an hour of music that traded songs from the catalogs of the protagonists with expertly selected covers — Wynn as Lou Reed protégé and super-fan was a natural to play “Rock & Roll”, and Forsyth as former Richard Lloyd student expertly handled “Friction”. But for the curfew, one got the impression that this special band could have played all night. We wish they had.

This historical Chris Forsyth residency at Nublu concludes this coming Friday at 8pm when Chris is joined by Ryley Walker and Daniel Carter. Don’t miss it.

I recorded this set with the Schoeps cards from a very advantageous location in the venue and the sound is superb. Enjoy!

The Chris Forsyth residency at Nublu throughout this month got off to a great start last Friday, as Chris was joined by the most excellent Garcia Peoples for the third time in NYC this year. It was back at Nublu in March when this magic combination saw its first incarnation and the results were incendiary. The group later collaborated on a magic night at Market Hotel in July. This night offered a final local hook-up and the performance of all parties was unsurprisingly also en fuego.

Chris Forsyth released perhaps his most comprehensive work in April, and All Time Present material comprised the entire main set before the band reached back a few years for the non-encore track. But as was joked during the set, Garcia Peoples seemed to have rehearsed this material maybe even more than Forsyth, and the quintet was ready for every twist and turn and peak that their protagonist led.

Chris Forsyth returns every Friday this month to Nublu for what promises to be an historic residency. This week will feature Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate) and Linda Pitmon (Minus 5) in a two-set affair that will deliver some never-before-heard iterations of band material and covers.

I recorded this set with the Schoeps cards mounted back about 20 feet from the stage and pointed at the stacks. The sound quality (other than some chatter) is quite excellent. Enjoy!
