Dairyland dark wave

Everyone needs to get out of the house—no, work doesn't count—every now and again. I personally plan to do some R&R creepin' at Synchro Studio (512-B Yale SE) this evening. What could lure a dyed-in-the-wool recluse like me out and about? Samantha Glass. I've been a fan of Madison, Wis.-based synth hunk Beau Devereaux's work for a month of Sundays, and tonight he brings Burque "synthetic melodies remind[ing] one that moonlight can illuminate space in as striking a manner as any old mass of incandescent gas." Devereaux is touring with stellar Milwaukeean one-woman minimal synth/cold wave act Stacian. Highway dream-pop duo Dripping Rainbow and the inimitable Alan George Ledergerber rep our enchanted local scene. Peep related A/V below. Synchro Studio • Samantha Glass • Stacian • Dripping Rainbow • Alan George Ledergerber • Wed May 15 • 9 pm • $7 • ALL-AGES!

How could the Alibi get Burt’s listings wrong? Well, it was my fault. In my NyQuil induced day-coma, I managed to miss the fact that the listing was wrong for both the 10th and 11th and that the 12th, a freaking-awesome special show, was completely missing. Here’s the real deal, kids:

Thursday 09 • The Original Weekly Dance Party with JOSH BURG (Plus $1.00 PBR until midnight!)

Friday 10 • MAN HURLS HEDGEHOG • WILLY J AND THE STORYTELLERS • FART HOUSE

Saturday 11 • VERTIGO VENUS • THE HOWLIN’ WOLVES • TEXYLVANIA • DJ XIBABALOA

Sunday 12 • GASHCAT • GHOSTFOOT • THE ALCHEMIST

Wednesday 15 • ABQ's True Skool Underground Hip Hop • AKIL THE MC (JURASSIC 5) ARIANO • THOUGHTS ARIZEN

Yesterday, Glitterdick drummer Suzi alerted music fans on the web that the band had neither seen nor heard from singer Kendoll Killjoy (a.k.a. Kendal Fortson) for over a month following the Albuquerque-based band’s return from their West Coast tour. We’re pleased to report that Suzi has just received contact from Kendoll, and he is fine. He just wasn’t checking his email. Suzi writes:

CALL OFF THE SEARCH. I just got an email from Kendal. He is apparently "bummin around on the road," and finally checked his email. Thank you to everyone who put the word out, and we are all truly sorry for the unnecessary panic. Please pass the message on.

• This whole MIA issue is just a pain in the ass. (woodshed) [ Mon Apr 22 2013 2:09 PM ]
  

Mobb Deep

There’s been a resurgence of ’90s-famous acts, many of whom continued creating sonic art long after their 15 minutes of fame. Corrosion of Conformity’s fourth album, Deliverance, was in regular rotation in my headbanging collection as a youngster. I didn’t discover Mobb Deep until much later, but I’m a fan of their early work. Read all about where you can witness performances by the aforementioned acts and Danzig, as well as Texan singer-songwriter Hayes Carll in this week’s Music to Your Ears. Scope related A/V below.

Saying that Alibi columnist Derek Caterwaul sees a lot of live music would be a major understatement. If he isn’t DJing on KUNM or sorting through his massive archive of obscure A/V and ephemera, it’s a pretty safe bet he’s at a show. In this month’s installment of MAXIMUMCATERWAUL, he shares a quick and dirty overview of 10 shows he caught in March. ... right here in our quirky, beloved burg. Peep related A/V below.

Depending on your aural upbringing and age, the term "grunge" may conjure up wildly divergent things. Read all about Alibi Copy Editor/Staff Writer Mark Lopez's romance with the Seattle sound in Seattle Wall of Sound: A paean to grunge. For me, Nirvana's Bleach was revelatory; Lopez prefers In Utero. Exploring difference is fun, no? In honor of this myriad genre, I compiled an hour-long grunge-tastic playlist for our dear readers, featuring tracks by: Flipper, L7, Babes in Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, Hole, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Tad, Wool, Melvins, Sleep Capsule, Coffin Break, Soundgarden, Killdozer, Pixies, The Breeders and Green River. Stream it below. Less-than-fresh coiffures, well-worn flannel and Dr. Martens are optional.
