Kyle Baker from Soundcrawl is borrowing Theatre Intangible H.Q. (that is, Noa Noa) tonight for a viewing party of highlights from the New Dischord Festival. As I blogged about here, New Dischord is a multi-day experimental arts festival in Chattanooga, TN. Kyle videotaped portions of the fest, and tonight, he’ll present the highlights in my living room. He’ll also be sharing some juicy details about Soundcrawl 2013.
Things go down at 7pm and should be over by 8:30 at the latest. Yes, I know the Game of Thrones finale is at 8. That’s what HBOGo is for.
Truly amazing news, folks! First off, if you haven’t been keeping up with our coverage of the Fort Houston saga, start here and here. The Nashville Scene has a great piece covering the essentials here.
Fort Houston went before the Board of Appeals yesterday over the prospect of getting a parking variance. This would basically allow them to host classes at their NoHo facility, even though they lack the required number of parking spaces as dictacted by city codes. Because their landlord originally resisted the variance, Fort Houston’s prospects were looking dire.
I’m happy to learn that the city granted Fort Houston the parking variance! This means that Fort Houston will soon resume classes like Greg Pond’s much-heralded 3D Printing and Arduino workshops.
Sean Maloney over at the Nashville Scene blog Country Life has the scoop. Check out his full article here.
Stephen Molyneux, founder of No Kings Records, member of Horsehair Everywhere and Theatre Intangible participant, is performing tonight at Noa Noa in support of his new album “Called to Leave.” Unlike Molyneux’s recent experimental releases, this one is a collection of songs.
This world traveler, professional gardener, poet, amateur ethnomusicologist, and No Kings co-founder has, at long last, collected his best song pieces (which move in and out of traditional American folk motifs) into a heart-shaking and catchy album. From murder ballad to chord organ interlude, themes of water and work, these atmospheric one-mic recordings of Stephen’s magnetic voice vibrating the floorboards of his Nashville home overflow with emotion and will have you hitting that rewind button over and over. The best. Edition of 100 pro-dubbed chrome, imprinted tapes, risograph artwork. For your convenience, you can stream the whole thing here.
Also performing is one of my favorite Nashville artists, Renee-Louise Carafice. In the 2011 Nashville Scene Rock n’ Roll Poll, I selected her as my favorite discovery of the year. This will be Renee-Louise’s first show with a full band in Nashville. Square People Jazz Maturity’s Tommy Stangroom will be on the drums.
Last but not least is Churchyard, the new garage rock band composed of Alice Buchanan, Rebecca Cholewa, Meghan D’Amico and Rachel Warrick.
Check out videos of Stephen and Renee at the end of this post.
GetLoFi’s 6th annual Experimental Garage Sale is happening Sunday, June 9th in Chicago, Illinois. I attended in 2011, and it was a blast! Check out our coverage in Theatre Intangible podcast 76: Experimental Garage Sale.
