Lightning Bolt Rips Aurora Apart PHOTO CREDIT: Aaron Bressler What better way to kick off your week than getting your ears blown to bits with a bunch of emphatic noise? Lightning Bolt brought that and more to Aurora in Downcity on Mon, May 18 along with electro pop act Unicorn Hard- On, metal punks Extinction Machine and noisegaze act Cottaging. The roof was about to blow off the place, people shuffled in like a bunch of addicts looking for a fix and it was absolutely electrifying. Rhythmic ground zero was at Aurora and musical destruction was taking place. A crazy infectious band with a witty name (look at the definition), Cottaging kicked things off with the walls shaking. Loud and intense, this quartet brings the fury like few can with a hyper sense of distortion and sheer power. Imagine if Drive Like Jehu & My Bloody Valentine had a baby, then Cottaging would be its name. Fantastic riffs and screaming vocals gave the night an authoritative start; I’m very much looking forward to Cottaging’s next show and I’m sure everyone else that was at Aurora on Monday will as well. With Olneyville Sound System’s Dan St. Jacques being a mad man on the mic, Dropdead’s Bob Otis unleashing fury on guitar, Revival Brewing’s Sean Larkin and Lolita Black’s Kaleigh Crass forming a flawless rhythm section on bass and drums, Extinction Machine annihilated everything in sight. They fused sludge metal and hardcore punk together to form an arsenal that conquered the crowd. The walls continued shaking and the music got louder and louder. By the end of the show there was a huge mosh pit right near the stage. Extinction Machine next will open for Royal Thunder at The Parlour on June 27; go get your face blown off and feel the noise. This is when things took a unique turn and Aurora became a dance party. With one of the best names I’ve heard in years, Unicorn Hard-On brought the beats and synths to make a spectacular techno sound that had me hooked. You had people bobbin’ and weavin’, jukin’ and jivin’ and getting down with the grooves. I was astounded by Unicorn Hard-On, another local act in Providence I’m going to want to see again and again. After a while of drinking and schmoozing, Lightning Bolt came on stage and things got instantly wild. It was a night full of crowd surfing, a gigantic mosh pit and a performance so intense that drummer Brian Chippendale had to replace his snare drum within the first 10 minutes. Whenever Brian Gibson’s bass hit a heavy note people started jumping higher and higher as if they were trying to levitate to the ceiling. It was weird seeing them on stage, but the feeling was the same as when they would play in the middle of the floor, the pandemonium was contagious. Lightning Bolt was amazing and for something more, grab their brand new album Fantasy Empire and listen to one of the best albums of 2015.

Cinematic Funk Cult Combo CALIBRO 35 Announce Their 7Th Studio Album “MOMENTUM”
DAN DEACON MYSTIC FAMILIAR OVERVIEW Dan Deacon, composer and performer, returns with his new studio album, Mystic Familiar. Following 2015’s Gliss Riffer, Dan embarked on a whirlwind of collaborative projects, scoring eight fi lms, including Rat Film and Time Trial; collaborating with choreographer Justin Peck on dance piece The Times Are Racing; producing and co-writing with Ed Schrader’s Music Beat; and performing with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. While fulfi lling, these projects all lacked one instrument: Dan’s voice. During this time, solo writing became his personal oasis, taking on an exploratory new direction informed by his newly adopted therapeutic practices of self-compassion and mindfulness, daily prompts from Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, and meditation to access an inner well of creativity as discussed by David Lynch in Catching the Big Fish. TRACKLISTING The result is Mystic Familiar, 11 kaleidoscopic tracks of majestic synth-pop, and Dan Deacon’s 1. Become a Mountain fi rst record in which each song is built around a single thematic throughline. The titular 2. Hypnagogic character, the Mystic Familiar: a supernatural other being that we carry with us everywhere in 3. Sat By A Tree 4. Arp I: Wide Eyed our head, which only we can hear and with whom we live our lives in eternal conversation. 5. Arp II: Float Away 6.

Lightning Bolt: Tour Italiano Dei Lightning Bolt Per L’Uscita Del Nuovo Album “Fantasy Empire”
Lightning Bolt: Tour italiano dei Lightning Bolt per l’uscita del nuovo album “Fantasy Empire” 05/10/2015 “Fantasy Empire is the best they've done it in a long time, and the new sheen makes everything seem magic again” Pitchfork “Death techno played by humans”, così sono stati definiti i Lightning Bolt all’uscita del loro primo album, nel lontano 1999. Da quel momento in poi il noise non è più stato lo stesso. Durante questi due decenni i Lightning Bolt hanno rivoluzionato il rock underground in maniera incommensurabile: il duo ha rotto la barriera tra palco e pubblico, impostando il loro show in mezzo alla folla, le loro esibizioni hanno aperto la strada a tecniche utilizzate da Dan Deacon e centinaia di altri artisti ed il loro sound ha dato vita ad un nuovo tipo di rumore. L’American Noise di Providence violentò i cuori di tutti negli anni 2000 ed oggi, nel 2015, il rumore bianco torna più feroce che mai con l’ultimo album della coppia Brian Chippendale - Brian Gibson: Fantasy Empire. Dopo tre anni di fermo, i due rumoristi tornano con un capolavoro di casa Thrill Jockey. Per la prima volta abbandonano la tanto affezionata Load Records, etichetta underground di riferimento non solo per la scena di Providence ma per tutto il noise di ultima generazione. Questo album denota molti primati, in particolare l'utilizzo di attrezzatura hi-fi per la registrazione dal rinomato studio Machines With Magnes. A differenza degli altri album, Fantasy Empire suona come se il batterista Brian Chippendale e il bassista Brian Gibson stessero suonando ad un metro di distanza; ciò dipende dal lavoro effettuato dallo studio per amplificare l’intensità del suono.

The New Yorker
Kindle Edition, 2015 © The New Yorker COMMENT UNCLEAR DANGERS BY AMY DAVIDSON In the past few weeks, a certain map has been causing a lot of discussion online and, particularly, in Texas. It shows seven states in the Southwest color-coded as red and “hostile” (Texas, Utah), or blue and “permissive” (California, Colorado, Nevada), or designated “uncertain” but leaning toward hostile (New Mexico) or toward friendly (Arizona). The map also features a circle zeroing in on Texas and acronyms associated with the military. To numerous observers, its meaning is clear: it is a plan for a U.S. military takeover of Texas and beyond, or, perhaps, a rehearsal for civil war and the enforcement of martial law. Resistance is anticipated in some areas, such as the part of Southern California marked as an “insurgent pocket.” The Pentagon quickly explained that the map was actually a prop in a large-scale but routine training exercise called Jade Helm 15, scheduled to take place this summer. Blue and red are standard colors on war-game maps and unconnected to, say, voting patterns. But the theorists were unpersuaded, and the code name seemed to excite them further. (Jade—a reference to China?) Some pointed to several Walmart stores that had abruptly closed and might now, they said, be used as internment camps run by FEMA . (Walmart says it isn’t so—sometimes stores just close.) The matter might have been dismissed as another one of those things that happen on the Internet if Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, had not sprung into action.

Alt-Nation: Lightning Bolt’
Alt-Nation: Lightning Bolt’s Latest and Other Electrifying Shows Lightning Bolt – Fantasy Empire (Thrill Jockey) The first time I experienced the rush of Lightning Bolt live was sometime in the late ’90s. I was talking to someone when Lightning Bolt, without any fanfare, launched a full-on assault. I could barely see through the crowd that was going apeshit huddled around the band playing on the floor, per usual. I had to get closer. Their intensity was like a tractor beam sucking you into the fire of the pit with the adrenaline rush of a rock show. They get saddled with the noise rock tag, which is understandable to a certain extent. But their tunes had this element of experimental jazz where they pound and carve up squalls of feedback to push the song into another dimension. Lightning Bolt will be forever linked to the legendary Fort Thunder — an abandoned warehouse in Eagle Square started by drummer Brian Chippendale and his college roommate. Fort Thunder really harkened the rise of the whole Providence noise rock and Olneyville warehouse scene that is still going today. Fort Thunder grew to host national and local shows as an under-the-radar word-of-mouth thing till the city stepped in and shut it down. But nobody has been able to stop Lighting Bolt. They continue to roll like a freight train into their 21st year as a band. This month Lightning Bolt will release Fantasy Empire, their first full-length album since 2009’s Earthly Delights, although they did release an EP titled Oblivion Hunter in 2012.
