we get review...sort of
Sunday 8/11. Now that was a good day for music. Started out with Noise Pancakes at ArtSF. Free Agitation was a lot like Big Nurse. Exactly alike? Mostly (entirely?) the same people doing pretty much the same thing, though I guess rocking maybe a little less. Psychy noisy near-rock. Kinda good. Missed Xambuca while moving my car around. Social Junk were another quasi-rock noise band. Earned some points by kicking things off with some serious power chord strumming rock after a short intro. Kept the energy up throughout the set. Cool. Scott Arford had a recording of little toy guitars playing dueling banjos. He got this going on his laptop and processed it into walls of noise. Fun. Chris Brown did some skittery Max MSP shit, doing a little bit of contact mic metal processing. I liked it. The whole show was increasingly good. Nice way to start out a Sunday.
Over in Oakland, nobody was BBQing anything when I got to Terminal. I did. Pod Blotz was first. Best set I've ever seen her/them do. Stripped down solo version. No costume. Very musical and interesting. Nice shit from Gerritt as well. You know what he sounds like. I pumped my fist in the smoky air. I wasn't captivated enough by Flaspar or the repeat sets by Social Junk or Free Agitation (I think maybe it was Big Nurse this time) to really watch them.

BIG NURSE “Alive II: No Youth Movement Left” (High Density Headache)
Tennessee’s Big Nurse ripped through the West Coast a couple weeks ago playing the sort of mass-mind 6-piece communal art-punk that it seems like most folks out here have given up on (in favor of solo/small projects or song-based stuff). The 3 drummers, 2 guitarist, 1 bass crew shredded one endless, pounding, deafening car crash of glorious noise for 12 minutes, then threw their shit on the floor and were done. Perfect. This tape, however, ain’t really like that. “Alive II” finds BN experimenting with every nook/cranny of their arsenal, resulting in a strange collage of blown out rock wanderings, sparse practice-taped vagueness, and overt noise wastelands. The live unity/cohesion vision has been ditched in favor of endless homeless amplified teenage puke. Which, suffice to say, has a different charm all its own. Maybe not essential listening, but definitely an authentic slab of unedited weirdo southern psych-trash, appropriate for many fucked/desperate occasions.
from blastitude....And speaking of incredibly old, why the hell did it take me like two years to listen to this Big Nurse single, "Who Wants To Kill The President?" b/w "Electrocute Your Cock"? The A side is a wrenching dubbed-out mental howl of a protest song, the singer asking the title question over and over, continually sending it through a meat-grinder of trippy effects while the rest of the instruments just wrong the fuck out in some kind of unknown rhythmic truth. The B side, as many of you have already surmised, is a Vom cover. In it, the band turns what was actually a pretty straight-ahead song into a feedback-laden cubist disaster that somehow never stops moving forward. Released on their own High Density Headache record label, check their blog for discog info and wistful imagery of weird youth gone rad......

HAT CITY INTUITIVE / LA OTRACINA / BIG NURSE
the world will end yesterday SPLIT CDr
[colour sound recordings, 2006]
This CD-R is limited to 107 copies and is sold out.
HAT CITY INTUITIVE have been kicking around the underground of lost musics since 1991, releasing their first LP "Happiness Is A One Trick Pony/Crying Is Shaped Like A Seahorse" on Matt Valentine's Superlux label in 1995, the "They Must be Clapping For...Me" CD on Crank Automotive in 2000, and more recently two self-isued full lengths "Narrow Miss On The Chamber Pot" and "/....//../..// (grey goose & a whole lotta hydro)". Featuring a large rotating cast of musicians spread across various North Easters states, this collective explores the various methods pioneered by AMM, ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO, AMON DUUL, etc, into a flux of cult-laden psychedelic-skronk, multi-directional noise, free-rock, and revolutionary jazz. The three slices of time they've devoted to this compilation sound like what would happen if Ayler performed at one of Kesey's Acid Tests...blasted!
LA OTRACINA is the psychedelic/prog vision of freak-drummer Adam Kriney and since 2003 his collective has explored everything from the most complex-Crimson-esque arrangements, to complete psychedelic-free-improv ala FUSHITSUSHA and GURU GURU, and the cast of members/collaborators has included everthing from stoner/acid-rockers to jazz/fusion headz to some of NYC's finest/fiercest free-improvisors. The single track found on this compilation is a massive slab of drone-layered/warped-freakout/acid-trip/sound collage action, comprised of various live recordings taken from their 2006 "Elliptical Envelopment" tour as the duo of Adam Kriney and Matt Lavallee.
BIG NURSE are a destroying hardcore/noise unit based out of Nashville/Murfreesboro, TN whose menacing riffs and relentlessly pounding drums are full of devastation ala the crustiest hardcore punk, mixed with a nod to blown-out anti-rock, and layers of overloaded BLACK movement! Their two tracks on this compilation explore both the seeking-improvisational confused/chaos momentum of free-music's liberation as well as a tightness of song explosions on top of it, blazing out and away!
