Inlets – 4/29

Sine Qua Non — Mon, 03 May 2010 19:41:17 +0000

Inlets and Yellow Ostrich ensorcelled. Yes, that’s a word. And there’s really no other word fit to describe the power of Thursday night’s intimate show at Gates of Heaven.

Yellow Ostrich, jettisoning the state to become an aspiring Brooklyn denizen, delighted us with looping melodies and woozy guitar backdrops, culminating in “Whale” and a cover of The Replacements’ “Androgynous” that had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. Inlets pulled the crowd in closer with a come-hither in the form of subtle guitar flourishes of Sebastian Krueger (himself already a Brooklyn by way of Madison resident) complimented by understated drumming and harmonic work from his 3 band members. It was a cozy, cool and comforting.

Body Language – 4/25

Sine Qua Non — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:10:33 +0000

Body Language played an insanely fun, no holes barred show to a “small but enthusiastic crowd” last Sunday at the Project Lodge. “Sorta like an AA meeting” but emotionally (and w.r.t. libations…..) it was decidedly not. As one attendee remarked: “Body Language playing to 15 people was the most fun I’ve had at a show in Madison this year.”

Check out the shots from the show, courtesy of Jess Dennis, and keep your eyes peeled for their next Madison date if you know what’s good for ya.

Sine Qua Non — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:21:47 +0000

Body Language annexes the Project Lodge this Sunday for some groove-pumping party ignition. As a foretaste of the jamz feast to come, check out their remix of Marina & the Diamonds, the SXSW video on their Myspace, and the songs embedded below.

“Huffy Ten Speed” – reminiscent of Spiderman of the Rings era Dan Deacon

“Sandwiches” – lending credence to The Isthmus’ description of this quartet as “Passion Pit on Quaaludes”

Get there early to catch PatrickAwesome and Fun Cartel too!

*This is the makeup date for their canceled March 26th show*

Don’t fear the future. These are Powers have come to conjure the new musical golden age you’ve been waiting for - one of insistence, intensity, and light.

And yes, you can dance to it.

These Are Powers are known for the dissonance of their early recordings, a cacophony of rhythms and industrial/electronic experiments that recalled Throbbing Gristle one moment,DNA the next. Once rule-breakers, the band is now rewriting those rules with a newfound focus: behold All Aboard Future. Exotic, abstract, hand-crafted sounds underscore each of these nine songs. Some wail from Pat Noecker’s prepared bass; others stem from the idiosyncratic vocal and guitar style of Anna Barie. The two trade off vocal duties, and in the process dissonant sounds become melodies held together and torn apart in fits by Bill Salas’ electro-acoustic beats. At first listen, much of Salas’ rhythmic contribution sounds as if it could be pre-programmed, but these abstract rhythms are all performed live, interspersing nods to Timbaland with an appreciation for a car crash’s metal-on-metal grind.

Ferocious and unhinged, when These Are Powers perform live, it is a kind of spiritual journey, a futuristic fire dance hailing from Chicago and Brooklyn. The bass smolders, topping its low-end sub-rumble with a high-end flutter; abstract beats emanate from the electro-acoustic stand-up drum kit. And piercing through is Anna Barie’s guitar while she and Noecker call and respond. Barie blasts through a litany of expressive guitar sounds and full-throated yelps and howls with a confrontational, explosive energy that often finds her entangled with audience members, leaping through the air, or sprawled on the floor in front of the stage.
