Brandon Burke Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 Not sure how many of you care but the Sun City Girls are playing at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco tonight. I hesitate to describe them because you never really know what you're going to get from show to show (or record to record, for that matter). Suffice it to say, you might think of their music as a hybrid of psychedelia and ethnomusicological/ethnic records. Like...say...Folkways or Nonesuch Explorer Series recordings as interpereted by guys who grew up on Captain Beefheart and Sun Ra. I'm especially digging guitarist Rick Bishop's new CD Improvika right now (issued under the name "Sir Richard Bishop"). He put another one out on Revenat a few years back. Let me know if you're going and I'll buy the first round... -- Brandon Quote
WD45 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 I wish I could be there! Bishop's stuff on the Wooden Guitar comp was super, and I gave a listen to Improvika in the record store the other day. Quote
John B Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) There is a well written review of last night's(?) LA show over at I Hate Music Edited October 29, 2004 by John B Quote
