Vanishing Point 30 October 2012

Welcome to another VP. It's Tuesday night again.  This Saturday 3 November 2012 is a gig at the Land Of Promise Hotel in Adelaide dedicated to remembering the musical achievements of Renistair EJ (aka Ren). I acknowledge the passing of Ren and his absence in the artistic circles of Adelaide music. Of note is a project driven by Ren and Co called Gutter Jazz which consisted of a number of Adelaide musicians doing an improv set mostly around Ren's vocalisations.  The guys named here were also in other bands as well as those bands bracketed.  Ren (Bloodloss, Lubricated Goat), Pete Kenny (Slub), Michael Tohl (Twenty Second Sect), Wex Dabbler (Grong Grong), Chris Morley (Leather Messiah), AJ Morley (Leather Messiah), Mike Baraniec (Fiendish Cavendish) also appeared were Nathan Dale (Yog Sothoth) and Dorothy Pawlowski (Roadside Slasher).  Gutter Jazz did one live set but recorded four sessions between 2007 and 2008. Ren went on to form another similar project with Wex Dabbler and more magical Adelaide artists called Viva Vas Defrens.

To quote one who knows Adelaide, Bands and Experimental Music: Adelaide is Coopers Beer, Dope and Old Men.  That describes Gutter Jazz. Full Fucking Stop.  Land Of Promise Saturday 3 November 2012.

Vanishing Point 9 October 2012

Welcome to the first daylight savings edition (2012) of Vanishing Point.  I cant help but write about a gig i was (and played a bit in) on the weekend. Brett Parish (Adelaide Music Ambassador) ended a project (Startakit) with a live performance of an album that he conceptualised and produced as well as played all instruments on.  What blew me away is that he managed to pull together over a dozen musos to play the album on stage from track one to the end.  To my knowledge that has not been done in Adelaide, sure plenty of albums have been released with the one artist doing the air pushing, knob twiddling and product packaging but to put the entire thing on stage is another thing altogether.  Well done Brett.

Some good current and historical information about experimental music and film in central Victoria (Australia) is here.

A great compilation is Drone From The Underside Of The Earth out on Art As Catharsis.  Check out the bandcamp link for a download here.


(BAND/ARTIST, Track. Album)
1. OBJEKT4, Spirits Of Soil And Sea Pt1. Shades Of Night
2. SLEEPVILLE, Track 1. Cadavre Exquis
3. FFWUC, Track 3. Cadavre Exquis
4. DROWNING HORSE, Sorrow. Drone From The Underside Of The Earth
5. CORRUPTED, Paso Inferior Side 1&2
6. DARK PASSENGER, Black On Black Crime. Dark Decimals
7. BLACK WIDOW, Trujillo's Last Request. Arctic Blast

See Ya
