YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
I KNEW it. My radar was in full effect.
I'm so glad you're playing JTP!
The Pigeon is dead. Long live the Pigeon.
You might be familiar with others playing... Adam M, Brad TFK and me!
We're doing a brutal noise 3 piece improv set.
I'm playing guitar and scraping a coffin nail on a metal pipe w/fx. Seriously!
Had our first and only practice last night. It sounded like a garbage truck and a giant robot making sweet love. Or an army of zombies and a pile of rabid raccoons in a steel cage match. Take your pick.
Can wait to see your new project. This is going to be epic! _________________ "Pop music is for sheep and we are wolves disguised as shepherds." |

I went once to hear Dave, GSGA, perform. It's in a sorta illegal place, in a abandoned warehouse where some guys are living. They hold concerts to raise money for the musicians, but the musicians don't get the money, if you understand what I'm saying. It's OK, a way to pay the rent, but my guess is they don't pay rent because the living conditions would never pass any municipal code. All this is speculation.
I showed up and appeared to be about 20 years older than the next oldest person who was himself a good 10 or 15 years older then the next person.. I was kinda ignored but I could see people weren't comfortable with an old straight looking man at this scene. I was with Zynthetix, my only redeeming trait, he being more than 35 years younger than me. Maybe they thought I was a narc or something. I would have been suspecious if I was a teen hanging out on the streets in an abandoned industrial building. Finally, some self-appointed fellow came up and asked me what I was doing there. I said I came to hear the music and that I was invited by one of the performers. I hadn't every met Dave before, but he heard me mention his name and identified himself. After a while, the interrogator came up and apologized for questioning me, and everyone there made me feel quite welcome. It was a great feeling to be accepted by the kids at their scene.
I enjoyed the concert a lot. Good thing I brought ear plugs though. Everything was very loud.
I guess the music is punk, grunge, noise, feedback and very very loud.
The place was very smokey, but I understand that now people are not allowed to smoke.
I believe this is going to be one of the last events at Jeff The Pigeon. I'm glad I had the chance to make one of these events. I'm not sure I can come to this one on Saturday night though.
I must say, Jeff The Pigeon is more underground than any underground events I went to in San Francisco back in the underground heyday of the 60s, including the now legendary Trips Festivals. _________________ --Howard

Howard's observations mostly match my own. I feel out of place playing there, but less out of place than playing at any other "venue" in the immediate area. (excluding living rooms, personal studios, or maybe one day a net-broadcast.)

This angered me, and that doesn't happen often. People who claim to love "underground" or experimental music should know very well that appearance, gender, race, and age has no effect on one's love of music. We all have ears. I did not attend there for a long while after, for the exclusive reason of being turned-off by exhibition of incorrect mentality on this matter.
The first time I was there I was invited by an aquaintance of mine who played some acoustic guitar songs and sang. He reminded me a lot of Elvis Costello and Buddy Holly. Other musicians that played were much older, playing mostly acoustic string instruments (viola, etc.) and making very nice folk music.
Stereotypically the shows are either rock centered (loud), electronic/white noise centered (loud), or an odd exception.
I will be direct recording our set through my G2's 3/4 outputs, as 90% of the audio will be generated by the G2 and the rest of it will be mixed/processed with the G2. I will upload a set or two then as I would like some constructive criticism. |

Great pictures, and thanks for the review too. The recording of this came out...well, garbled. I didn't realize the minidisc requires a 10db lower input (i.e. 0db on consumer gear = -10db on pro gear). We're salvaging what we can from it and recording the set over to pay homage. |

You're welcome. I had an error in my previous post which I just fixed. The link to the review was incorrect. _________________ --Howard

I will post some music within the next few days. I have yet to clean up the live recording, it is pretty distorted. we re-recorded the set, but of course they are not exactly the same each time. when the favorite sessions are agreed upon I would like to put them up with some of the show material for some constructive criticism. |

Wowah, this is fabulous. Sounds much better than it did live over that PA.
This was the first piece. It's great. _________________ --Howard
