There’s a great lineup at Betty’s this Saturday, featuring Philippe Petit, XAMBUCA, Robert Bond, and trans*.

French sound artist Phillippe Petit, not to be confused with the high-wire artist of the same name, creates music with bizarre instruments like the Electric Psalterion, Hackbrett Cymbalum, and Yuri Landman’s Caterpillar Drum Guitar. He also employs turntables, synthesizers, and unconventional percussive objects. He’s worked with artists such as Lydia Lunch, Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle), and Murcof.

Asheville’s XAMBUCA is Chandra Shukla’s sound art project. Chandra has worked with artists such as Genesis P-Orridge and Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster).

Robert Bond is a Nashville percussionist, electronic artist, producer and composer. He was featured on Theatre Intangible episode 105. For this show, he’ll be performing a very special solo set.

trans* is a Murfreesboro sound artist utilizing minimalist, vocal-heavy harsh noise.

Phillipe Petit will not likely pass through Nashville again for a very long time, so don’t miss your chance to see some of the best sound artists around!

More info on the Facebook event page.

Saturday at Noa Noa, we’re throwing a good old-fashioned rock show with four of the best up-and-coming bands in town. The bill features Sudonistas, Shy Guy, Twiggs, and Whose Loofah? (Becca Hill from Spacemen Saturday Night). UPDATE: 05-31-2014. Twiggs had to cancel. Beef Oven joined the bill.

This is great stuff. Big deals in the making. Listen to the samples to see if it’s your thing.

This will be the second-to-last show at Noa Noa for the foreseeable future. The last will be for Regdar and the Fighters on June 21st. We’re putting house shows on hold in order to focus on personal projects, peace/quiet, and domestic bliss.

Shy Guy, Sudonistas, Twiggs, Whose Loofah?
Saturday, May 31st, 2014, doors at 8:30 p.m., show at 9 p.m., $5

Tonight at Zeitgeist Indeterminacies: Ingrid Laubrock and Tom Rainey 05-22-2014

There’s a can’t-miss show tonight at Zeitgeist, and it’s absolutely free: Brooklyn jazz duo Ingrid Laubrock and Tom Rainey.

The Facebook event page has the details:

Originally from Germany, Ingrid Laubrock has been living in the UK since 1989 and is now residing in Brooklyn. She performed and recorded with: Anthony Braxton, Dave Douglas, Kenny Wheeler, Tim Berne, Mark Helias, Michael Formanek, Mary Halvorson, Tyshawn Sorey, Evan Parker, Steve Beresford, John Edwards, Veryan Weston, Luc Ex, Django Bates’ Human Chain, Evan Parker, The Continuum Ensemble and others.

Her current groups are Sleepthief, the new octet, the NY based quartet Anti-House and and the collaboration Paradoxical Frog with pianist Kris Davis and drummer Tyshawn Sorey. She is also part of the Tom Rainey Trio, Mary Halvorson’s Septet, Kris’ Davis Quintet, Catatumbo, Haste and Luc Ex’ Sol 6 and Sol 12.

Put the name of Tom Rainey in that big file titled “Drummers Who Deserve as Much Acclaim as the Bandleaders They Play With.” And in the case of Rainey, that’s saying a lot, because he tends to keep good company on-stage and in the recording studio. He has been the drummer of choice for a range of renowned creative artists from the relatively straight-ahead to the uncompromisingly avant, including Kenny Werner, Jane Ira Bloom, Fred Hersch, Mark Helias, Brad Shepik, Tony Malaby, Angelica Sanchez, Nels Cline, Andrea Parkins, Tim Berne, and David Torn. Rainey’s voluminous recording credits and the artistic caliber of the musicians he’s supported would easily place him on the A-list of drummers closely identified with the New York City modern creative jazz scene roughly from the late ’80s onward, including Gerry Hemingway, Joey Baron, Bobby Previte, John Hollenbeck, Kenny Wollesen, and Jim Black.

Laubrock and Rainey are also participating in a free artist talk at noon at the Nashville Public Library.

Watch the video below to see what you’re in for.  The performance goes down at 7 p.m. at Zeitgeist Gallery in Wedgewood/Houston.
