SATURDAY - APRIL 29TH - ENEMY - CHICAGO
with: Adam Strohm, Church of Light and Sound, Kevin Drumm, others
Tarantulla Hill Benefit.
Another long lineup - for a good cause - but a really unnecessarily long bill of people who play shows WAY too often and really need to spend more time praticing at home vs subjecting the public to their soul-less wack off sessions. ANYWAY. I needed to see BLOODYMINDED but of course also Kevin Drumm, and the mysterious Adam Strohm. Blake Edwards did a magnificent job of making sure the night moved along smoothly and on schedule. I gladly ended up missing most of the night, and was there only for a few sets. Kevin Drumm delivered a solid set that reminded me a little of his "Horror of Birth" cassette on Chondritic Sound. I hope he plays live more often this year, to show people how it's fucking done. Adam Strohm was up next and played with his back to the audience, delivering a mellow building static jam. It was hard to see what he was doing, and I guess, more fun to guess what he was doing in my head. I hope he plays live again relatively soon. Unfortunately inbetween the 3 sets I did go to see, another project, Church of Light and Sound played. Wholly uninteresting and forgettable - I hope I never have to see him again, but like some of his suburban friends it seems he is on bills every few weeks, and it's only a matter of time before I have to endure his music again. Throughout the night there were also raffles, which are amazingly fun, even if you don't win. I was hoping to snag all of the Intrinsic Action cds (I am missing a few) or the whole cd section of the C.I.P. catalogue -wow. But no, the only thing I won was the chance to see BLOODYMINDED play SHOCKPIT!!!! How unexpected! Very nice rarity to whip out now and again, though I think it is more fun to see people scream and plead for the song than to hear it actually be played. It's certainly not in my top 10 or 20 songs BLOODYMINDED plays, but is probably in the top 46. Progressions and changes in BLOODYMINDED setlists are endlessly interesting. On many levels I feel grateful that BLOODYMINDED no longer plays "Pro-Ana" and "Pro-Mia", but at least includes "Bound to Die" for ED to sing on. It's awesome watching his face contort and turn red as he screams. BLOODYMINDED will never cease to amaze me.
