joan of arc tonight!-john
Tonight is one of those new fangled early shows I have been hearing about at the Mohawk and it looks pretty amazing. With music starting at 9pm, you can show up to work tomorrow morning with no one getting suspicious because you won’t fall asleep next to the coffee machine. Instead you will whiz thru your last day of the week humming the off kilter melodies of Joan of Arc!
I have had never had the pleasure of seeing this incarnation of a Kinsella Brother related project and am very much looking forward to it because Joan of Arc’s the Gap was my first exposure to that sort of music. At a time when I eagerly consumed any media that could remotely be traced back to the genre ‘emo’ (have mercy) that record’s minimal instrumentation, sonically bizarre studio trickery and lyrics about minutia such as cat hair on pants pretty much blew my mind. That gave me a taste of the brothers Kinsella and has since made me a life long fan of Make Believe, Owen, Cap’n Jazz and on and on and on. Needless to say – this show will be great.
Supporting acts are top notch on this bill as well. Yellow Fever is a duo now but still play great pop songs about girls and boys. Their lazy style is sweeping the day dreaming nation so check em out on the home turf tonight!
The illustrious Single Frame open up at 9pm so get there early because this is the first show that they are playing with their new member Ross Ethridge who will be DJing! Single Frame has always utilized interesting and non-traditional instrumentation from televisions, to electronic effect-ridden drums, I am extremely eager to see how a live DJ falls into the mix.
