Tessera

I enjoy whenever I remember this song, and especially find myself enjoying saying the lines "No punk / no ga-rage bands" to myself. A fun band with an enjoyably tongue in cheek bleakness to them. Thanks to @cranksatori.bsky.social for the reminder: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLWT...

This was one of the songs I thought of when I was told that a certain band of NYC dwellers was saving rock and roll circa 2001 or so. Remember that rock and roll never needs saving and anyone telling you someone new is saving it is not to be trusted: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ1X...

Perhaps the song to roll out with on a Friday of a long week is this one. A delightfully simple and timeless idea wrapped in tuneful rock and roll. Reminds me of Times New Viking a bit here: meshphilly.bandcamp.com/track/quit-m...

Quit My Job, by MESH

from the album No Fun At All

New MESH album just got released today. Got to see these songs live & really enjoyed them, cool to have the album to listen to. Nice intersection of 12-string guitar leads/accents counterpointed w/ six string action without it being paisley-psych kinda stuff: meshphilly.bandcamp.com/album/no-fun...

Here is what the tapes look like. We will have plenty of them at the show.

Looks like the Radon Abatement tape release show will be on Friday, July 31, at Visible Records in Charlottesville, Virginia. Added Dimensions will also play and maybe more some more action as well, we will see. Excited about the show, excited about the tapes being out there in the world.

Photo of part of an art show at Infinite Repeats in Charlottesville, Virginia (it was a members' show displaying item people made in the shop). It displays a cassette with the risographed Radon Abatement tape artwork on it, which is a grid of dots in grey and pink overlaid in an offset fashion over each other with the nane of the band printed on it in the same colors. There are a set of 4 variations on the wall next to it (simple black and white, simple grey, a purple created by overlapping the two colors directly, and the standard offset pink/grey). Also in the display are an array of four polaroid pictures of the band members and an insert for the cassette, also risographed, which shows a small recreation of the four polaroids shrunk down to fit in the insert, which is folded in half to have the album credits on the other side (too small to read).

This is coming up fast! A little over a week away. We will play the whole album +1 (though in a completely different order). It will be a good time, Added Dimensions and Ear Infection rule.

Flyer for the upcoming Radon Abatement tape release show is here. Excellently risographed by our own @joshkrahn.bsky.social. Added Dimensions rule & will play as will local heavies Ear Infection (some of the best musicians in town) including @gorgonparis.bsky.social. Will be a good one!

I hope the AI-slop video generators that a lot of people are sharing on other sites run their course as a thing people think are fun soon. Kind of depressing to see it so widely shared and treated like normal fun online stuff. (I am fun occasionally but not often these days lol, this stuff sucks.)

The Dais Queue Ensemble set from a bit ago is now up. A fun evening all around and a very enjoyable set to play. Erin and @joshkrahn.bsky.social are a delight to play with (basically 2/3rds of Radon Abatement getting loose). Pretty weird one, which I enjoy: daisqueue.bandcamp.com/track/dais-q...

For some reason a ton of people listened to this one particular Radon Abatement song yesterday. Why? Who knows? One of the mysteries of modern life. I do love to play this one as a band. One of our more interesting arrangements/song structures I think: music.youtube.com/watch?v=AvNL...

Some nice footage of Soliton from last night. Always enjoy seeing @abstracttruth.bsky.social & @walter-wright.bsky.social on their thing, this time with Kittie Cooper & Neda Nadim joining in. A good night all around.

David Menestres@abstracttruth.bsky.social · 4w ago

This was a fun one. 3/4s of Radon Abatement getting loose with it. I have been enjoying convening different configurations of these folks for years, it is always an interesting and fun road to go down. Thanks to @joshkrahn.bsky.social & Erin O for joining in this round.

Dais Queue Ensemble

Sorry to say that Layne and Nate will not make it due to some health issues (nothing too serious but enough for one of them need to rest and heal up). The show will go on however. @joshkrahn.bsky.social, Erin O'Hare and myself will play a Dais Queue Ensemble show in their place.

Hey this is tomorrow! Some excellent sonic wrangling will be on offer, head on out! It will be a good way to clear out some of that noise in your head. Oh did I say that out loud? Well yeah, it will.

Charlottesville! Friday 7/10! This is going to be an exceptional night of music in a magical space. I can’t be there but maybe you can? If you can’t, send a friend! Layne Garrett & Nate Scheible duo Space Saver Soliton 8 PM Friday July 10 Visible Records 1740 Broadway 22902-5877 From Davis:

Layne Garrett & Nate Scheible are two very inventive, interesting musicians who are frequent collaborators who quite frequently can be found playing and organizing things at the crucial DIY arts and community organizing space Rhizome in Tacoma Park / Washington DC. Each does quite a bit to make that place as vibrant as it is in their own ways, but together as musicians they are quite a force. Layne is equally adept at playing unorthodox, wild improvisational guitar via lots of objects, extended techniques, and preparations and energized, riff-laden avant rock passages. Nate has largely played a drum kit and other percussion when I have seen him, and he similarly can take his playing in all kinds of directions, though he makes very cool solo material that ranges across all kinds of sounds and approaches. Together they promise to be a very cool live experience.

Luckily for us when I asked Space Saver if they were available to play on the bill they were! They are a great pairing with Nate & Layne as they of course also bring a lot of energy, inventiveness, and extremely adept navigations of sound, time, and volume. They are certainly one of the best live bands around, and any chance to see them play is not to be missed. Glad to have them on board.

I was also very excited that Soliton agreed to hop on the bill. Generally consisting of bassist David Menestres and electronics manipulator Walter Wright as core members with invited improvisors joining in, they tend to always be surprising and delightful live as you never quite know what will make it into the mix. On this night they will be joined by Kittie Cooper on (most likely) guitar and electronics and Neda Nadim on drum machine and no-input mixer (or some similar setup, improvisors may always find ways to surprise you when they show up to the gig!)
Really it is a night full of cool possibilities. Good people in a good room to see this kind of thing in, it will be a good time!
Music a little after 8pm, $10-15 suggested donation but no one turned away for lack of funds, all ages.
Hope to see some of you there!

Coming up on Friday! This will be a very good show.
