volcano! @ the luminaire
i got 2 results from the night when i really think about it.
the lesser was this it was my first time to The Luminaire and what a wicked little venue it is. just been refurbished, top sound, good set up that allows for uber easy viewing... and there is not security guard to be seen (so i can snap away to my hearts content).
the main result that i got was seeing volcano! (yes you need the lower case 'v' and the exclamation mark) perform live what i think is going to be one of the best albums of the year, beautiful seizure.
their music is described as being a drummer who plays out of time, loud and soft. a guy on samples making all sorts of crazy sounds. and a singer who sings 'fafafafa' while playing guitar. now while this does all sounds a little mish mashed, it all fits together perfectly to produce a really full, but eclectic sound.
sam scranton the drummer is amazing. not only is he a spot on drummer but he uses all sorts of bizarre items to make sounds - ranging from children's toys, pots and pans, nuts and even a bike bell.
