We (sisy & I) saw what has to be one of the most intense, refreshing, and all-around entertaining musical acts last week: faun fables, the anachronistic mini -theatrical musical endeavor of Dawn McCarthy (cinderella supertramp & yodelist extraordinaire), joined by Nils Frykdahl (of SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM fame). A couple years ago, faun fables signed onto DRAG CITY RECORDS (the same label that such luminaries as Will Oldham ("bonnie prince billy") get to call home. (By the way: if you haven't familiarized yourselves with bonnie prince billy's music yet, I urge you to do so immediately. He is a songwriter/singer getting labelled everything from "alt country" to "goth country", but in fact he is a brilliant contemporary folk musician unparalleled. You need bonnie prince billy.) Now that I've witnessed first-hand the breathtaking dynamics of faun fables, (and met outside the venue with Nils for a short chat), I am chomping at the bit to see SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM! In fact I just can't fryking wait. faun fables 4th album is called "The Transit Rider", and they are currently performing it on a small lucky stage near you. *I urge everyone here who's in Cali to go out of their way to see this, this weekend. It is like Tom Waits meets burlesque via Bertolt Brecht, crossed with Jethro Tull's acoustic bastard offspring in a production by Samuel Beckett's gypsy grandchild.* I don't want to pigeonhole this amazing group of performance artists/musicians by comparing them to anyone, really - - but I can't help and conjure the old school Tull-like sensibility of the wandering tramp lifestyle ("aqualung"), and the bucolic lyricism it invokes. "The Transit Rider" is a stunning display of mime, performance artistry, and musical theatrics w/a running theme of a lady on a train trying to go on a picnic, and dealing with the peculiar personification of the train's conductor (played with flair by Nils), and I swear it'll keep all of you here mesmerized to your seats. (We saw it on a tiny art-gallery stage; you couldn't fit more than 50 people in that space. We were all hypnotized by what faun fables managed to conjure before our eyes. I'll never forget it as long as I live.) faun fables just left Salt Lake and is currently in California, here are the remaining tour dates: (tickets are from $6 to $10) beginning TONIGHT in Oakland!Fri 5/26 Oakland, CA Oakland Metro 201 Broadway 510-763-1146 all ages time and tickets, tba Sat 5/27 Oakland, CA Oakland Metro 201 Broadway 510-763-1146 all ages time and tickets, tba Tue 5/30 Eureka, CASynapsis Performance Space 1930 A St all ages 8:00pm, Tickets: $10.00 Wed 5/31 Portland, OR Loveland 315 SE 2nd Avenue ph: 503/234-LOVE TBA w/the Danielson Famile! 9:00pm; Tickets: $10.00/$12.00 Thu 6/1 Spokane, WAThe Shop 924 S Perry Street 509-534-1647 all ages 8:00pm, Tickets: $6.00 Sat 6/3 Olympia, WA Capital Theater 206 East 5th Avenue 416 Washington Street SE #208 360-754-3635 8:00pm, Tickets: $8.00 all ages Mon 6/5 Seattle, WAThe Triple Door 216 Union Street 206-838-4309 7:30pm, Tickets: $10.00 ~ ~ ~ *GO SEE THIS PRODUCTION, BELIEVE ME, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID* faun fables official site |

Forgot about this board, should have posted this here as things sometimes get lost in Now Playing:
Thorn- So I found the Deadboy debut and an Agents of Oblivion CD my wife had laying around in a pile. Not sure if you have any AoO, it was one of Dax's bands between Acid Bath and Deadboy. Only problem is that they are both scratched to high hell. I'll clean them up, but no guarantee they'll burn. Gonna give it a try, though.

cool man. I've got the Agents of Oblivion CD - so you won't have to bother w/that one. "Endsmouth" is a great song! The remaining tracks are "Hit or Miss" for me, but luckily more hits than misses.
As for that scratched -up debut of Deadboy, hell yeah I'll give it a shot man. Been dying to hear that. Truly appreciate it, luke. *
* Anyone who burns something for me, automatically earns a tab of "thoRn kaRma points", which just means someday I'll return the favor.
