whiteymuseum Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Cincinnati Records Proudly Presents Sunday April 8th GREG ASHLEY's MEDICINE FUCK DREAM Former members of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, members of The Gris Gris/The Mirrors 9PM // $10 at the door Casbah 306 King St W, Hamilton 905-521-4441 Greg Ashley, the mastermind behind The Gris Gris and The Mirrors, is going solo for the first time since the 2003 masterpiece Medicine Fuck Dream. The result is his most ambitious, textured, beautiful and dark record to date: Painted Garden. While being more warm and intimate than last year's Gris Gris wonder For The Season, it still reflects the same vision behind the band's greatness. Partially written in a burnt out ghetto in Oakland, partially written in his remote cabin in Kosse, TX, Painted Garden was completely produced and written by Ashley (except for half of one song, which was co-written by an Oakland chanteuse) and 80% completely played by him as well. This record is an example of a true vision realized, and puts Ashley right up there with the great musical minds of the day. "And with the release of Painted Garden, Ashley proves that in an era of greedy, speedy sonic consumption, his slow-building albums offer a rewarding transcendence outta this metropolis." -- Jennifer Maerz, SF WEEKLY cover story MYSPACE BIRDMAN RECORDS BUDDYHEAD BLOG LISTEN TO MUSIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
