Gregorian groove
Setting the ominous scene
Vibrationally
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Tectonic music
The breath of a moving earth,
Climaxes in waves.

The Radio Department at the El Rey, 2/16/11
I can't fault them for
The drum tracks when they insist
On sounding so sweet.

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.
Jagged shards of light

Warm Climate

Was all I could process as

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

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.

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:
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

His sunbeam of a
Voice could only combat the
Night's dark vibe so well.
