  • The Fiery Furnaces: Gallowsbird Bark Seth Kim-Cohen Rough Trade
    The Fiery Furnaces: Gallowsbird Bark Seth Kim-Cohen Rough Trade An unpublished review of the Fiery Furnaces debut, 2003. ¤ ¤¤ Maybe Pierre Bourdieu is right. Maybe the “field of cultural production” is nothing but a game board and each producer, promoter, buyer and seller is a piece on the board. We each fulfill our roles. The board doesn’t change much over time. Nor do the relative roles of the pieces. The game always needs someone at the top and someone at the bottom, but it also needs someone filling the various roles in between. If Bourdieu is right, we might see the Fiery Furnaces as the contemporary occupiers of the space once held by Joseph Byrd’s the United States of America. In 1968 the United States of America grated against the outer extremities of rock music, integrating sources as diverse as 19th century folk forms, Sousa-esque brass arrangements and experimental analog electronics (Gordon Marron is credited with playing ring modulator) into an au courant blend of pastoral psychedelia, blues, and proto-acid guitar leads. With their debut, Gallowsbird’s Bark, the Fiery Furnaces chafe against the current state of the art, interpolating 19th century folk forms, dada lyrics, and splice and dice arrangements into an au courant mix of earnest sonics, postmodern cool and post-acid guitar leads. So there we have it: neatly bundled and tied in a fancy French bow. 1 But Bourdieu’s system fails to account for a few alternatives to this neat bundle. The Fiery Furnaces are Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger: brother and sister (like the White Stripes?), duo (like the White Stripes, the Kills, and Quasi), and from New York City (like you name it).

  • CAP UCLA Presents 'Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films'
    Media Alert Contact: Jessica Wolf 310.825.7789 [email protected] CAP UCLA Presents ‘Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films’ at Royce Hall Fri, Oct. 24 Rare footage meets compositions performed live by Tom Verlaine, Martin Rev, Dean Wareham, Eleanor Friedberger and Bradford Cox Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA presents the west coast exclusive performance of “Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films” Friday, October 24 at 8 p.m. in Royce Hall. The sound- plus-celluloid stage experience celebrates the 20th Anniversary of The Andy Warhol Museum and features new compositions performed live by Tom Verlaine, Martin Rev, Dean Wareham, Eleanor Friedberger and Bradford Cox. Tickets ($19-$59) are now available cap.ucla.edu, Ticketmaster or the UCLA Central Ticket Office (310.825.2101). “Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films” was co-commissioned by The Andy Warhol Museum, CAP UCLA and BAM for the 2014 Next Wave Festival. “Exposed” is comprised of 15 short Warhol films, never before publically exhibited, accompanied by live music. The films chosen are a combination of portraits and actualités featuring superstars and luminaries such as Taylor Mead, Mary Woronov, Edie Sedgwick, Mario Montez, John Giorno, Marcel Duchamp, Marisol, Donovan, and Andy Warhol himself. This project honors the unwavering relevancy of the art and life of Andy Warhol by re-contextualizing his work in ways that resonate in contemporary culture. Five songwriter-composers representing a musical trajectory from the 1970s until today perform original scores to these rare Warhol selections. The composers and performers, selected by guest musical curator Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna), who also performs, include punk icons Tom Verlaine (Television) and Martin Rev (Suicide), Eleanor Friedberger (The Fiery Furnaces), and Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound).

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's influence (loud and sloppy garage-blues) was still felt throughout the country, as proven by the Immortal Lee County Killers in Alabama with The Essential Fuck-Up Blues (2001); the Black Keys in Ohio with The Big Come Up (2002); and by the Kills in Florida, playing the version popularized by the White Stripes on No Wow (2005). The Fiery Furnaces (4), formed by Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger, siblings from Chicago who relocated to New York, exhibited a versatile and multi-faceted style on Gallowsbird's Bark (2003). Anti- crooning vocals and spiked guitar riffs as well as wildly unstable dynamics evoked the Rolling Stones at their most drunken/deranged, or Captain Beefheart's Magic Band fronted by Janis Joplin. At the same time the exuberant neglect of their arrangements was reminiscent of Pere Ubu. Blueberry Boat (2004) stretched out into longer and more ambitious songs, collages of genres and tours de force of arrangement (including electronic keyboards) that were meant to create a new form of musical theater. That form came to life on Rehearsing My Choir (2005), a work structured as a dialogue between an older woman and a younger one over a substratum of eccentric and cacophonous sounds.

  • Indie Mixtape Subscribers Get 10% Off This Piece of Punk Rock History by Entering the Code RAMONES10 at Check-Out
    :: View email as a web page :: Earlier this month, the Pitchfork Music Festival was officially canceled, an inevitable development in the midst of a rapidly deteriorating summer tour schedule. Right now, it seems trivial to mourn such relatively minor things. And yet, we must admit we are sad to miss The Fiery Furnaces. The Chicago-based brother-sister duo — who put out their debut album, Gallowbird’s Bark, in 2003 and went on hiatus in 2011 — announced in February that Pitchfork Fest would be their grand return to the indie-rock world. Other shows, while not announced, were assumed (at least by us) to be in the works. Perhaps those shows will still happen at that unforeseen date when gathering with a few hundred strangers inside a dark, tightly packed nightclub no longer is fodder for nightmares. But for now, their comeback seems like it has, at best, been put on hold, if not derailed completely. And that bums us out, because 2020 could really use a band this brilliantly bizarre and bizarrely brilliant. Read more about the band's lost comeback here . -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century Since their inception, The Flaming Lips have blended styles of alternative, psychedelic, experimental, electronic, and post punk to create a truly unique sound. Combined with their sensory-stimulating, fully interactive live show, the band has generated a singular aesthetic over the past four decades. Now, you can embody that aesthetic with the limited edition PLEASURES x Flaming Lips collection inspired by the band's iconic graphic artwork.
