AD Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 i've seen them everywhere from the Embassy in London to the tents at Bonnaroo, and many points in between. Never a bad or boring show, IMHO. It's different for everyone I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wasn't it Tortoise who was Daniel Lanois' backing band on the Belladonna tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm not sure what tour it was, but they did indeed back him up for some shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wasn't it Tortoise who was Daniel Lanois' backing band on the Belladonna tour? That might have been one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed. I saw them at park west in CHicago - tortoise opened up for him and then they were his backing band. Absolutely incredible.

Blane Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 no, got shows on Thurs, Friday & Sat, plus 3 more the next week, which pretty much kills my show budget for the next while. Unfortunate 'cause I"m a huge fan of Paal Nilssen Love, he's an unbelieveable drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 To summarize.. (just sent this to some friends)Ken Vandermark's POWERHOUSE SOUNDhttp://www.kenvandermark.comThurs June 25 @ The Horseshoefeaturing:Ken Vandermark: reedsNate McBride: electric bass, effectsJeff Parker: guitar, electronics (from TORTOISE)John Herndon: drums (from TORTOISE)Excerpt from a recent press release:Ken Vandermark wrote all the compositions with the idea of building the music from the perspective of the bass instead of the more conventional approach of composition construction, "from the top down", as he puts it. "The three major influences I considered when putting the music together were the rhythmic ideas of James Brown, the dub ideas of Lee Perry and the collage ideas of Public Enemy."The new line up will continue to work from these original concepts developed at the band's start. However, with the obvious shifts in personnel and differences in instrumentation, POWERHOUSE SOUND is undoubtedly here to test any and all genre "qualifiers" used within the independent music industry today.$15 adv / $18 door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 You gotta be intrigued when they are citing James Brown, Lee Perry and Public Enemy as their main influences. Looks interesting; not sure yet if I can afford the $18 cover right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
