Robedoor, Warm Climate, and Alpine Decline at Pehrspace, 2/11/11

Robedoor

Jagged shards of light
Slicing declaratively
Through the drone's shadow.

Warm Climate

"Exhilaration!"
Was all I could process as
My jaw hit the ground.

Alpine Decline

An emo streak a
Mile wide down the center of
Their snow-laden path.

Chelsea Wolfe at Vacation Vinyl, 2/11/11

The lacy visage
Analogous for spider-
Web-intricate sounds.

Matthewdavid and Red Mir at Mondo Palazoid, 1/15/11

Red Mir

A dead symphony

An orchestra of ghosts in

Climactic seance

Matthewdavid

Intimacy 'twixt

A man and his creation.

He never saw us.

Graf Orlock at Vacation Vinyl, 1/14/11

A sonic junkyard.

Them: carrion feasting on

Pop culture's dark meat.

UNORTHODOX POST: Complicated Dance Steps Label Showcase

Hey laureates! I started a record label called Complicated Dance Steps and we have a label showcase TOMORROW NIGHT at Vacation Vinyl in Silverlake. We have 3 bands playing, and since you probably haven't had the chance to fall in love with them yet, I have a few teaser haikus to get you excited for Friday night:

Son Fish

Shrouded enigma,

Kaoscillator wizard

Commands his machines

Sneaky Snake

Theirs is the voice of

The forest when trees fall in

Morning light, alone

Tenstairs

The subtlest and most

Dignified use of trombone

Layering we know.

I hope to see you Friday, and if you have any questions about the releases, please email! :) Happy holidaze from Concert Haikus!

OFF! at Vacation Vinyl, 12/14/10

Lest we forget, they're

The architects and experts

And still do it best.

Robedoor, Warm Climate, RGB and Cristopher Cichocki at Pehrspace, 12/6/10

RGB

Like earth-tone lazers

Slicing through a forest fog

In strategic spots

Warm Climate

Though casual and,

Yes, a little sloppy, their

Spirit was flawless

Cristopher Cichocki

A showcase of the

Extremes of human A/V

Manipulation

Robedoor

Playful and bold, their

Fresh material heaved with

Curiosity

Jens Lekman at Skybar, 12/4/10

His sunbeam of a

Voice could only combat the

Night's dark vibe so well.

Liars at Thesex, 12/3/10

Perhaps it was the

Venue, but their performance

Felt legendary.

Roger Waters performing The Wall at The Staples Center, 11/30/10

In the realm of forms,

Pure liberal beauty and zeal

Looks and sounds like this.
