THE KENEALLIST 2007 09 21

2007 09 21: The Keneallist 2007 09 21

A message from Mike:

Alva's & Baked Potato coming up,

plus some fun new stuff

Good lord, great goshamighty. And how are you? I guess I haven't had anything to say to you folks since all the touring started in August, which is nuts. And I don't have much time now unfortunately, but we've got to get this thing out to you tonight, so here goes -- first, two SoCal shows coming right up in San Pedro and Studio City (see below). NOW, HERE'S WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON:

August tour wrap-up --

Great to hook up with Beller and Minnemann at the Outreach Festival. We killed it power trio style, then joined forces with Franz Hackl on trumpet and Adam Holzman on keys for what was billed as "Heavy Metal Miles," but was really just us playing the hell out of the stuff as best as we could. Glorious side effect -- Beller telling me that he finally "got" Miles. Beautiful to hear him and Marco doing what they do on these fantastic tunes, and a privilege to collaborate with Adam H. who had such a storied history playing these pieces with MD himself. And we didn't just stick to the '70s tunes - we tackled "Mademoiselle Mabry" which was a total joy. There is real energy afoot to get the five-piece band on the road in Europe playng the Miles stuff, but there's equal energy devoted to getting the power trio formation out there too -- both configurations turned assorted heads in the right direction.

School of Rock All-Stars: rather bittersweet as a number of the students on our brief tour were making their last stands as All-Stars prior to graduating from the program. Not enough people came out to these gigs but the playing was magnificent. And a couple of weeks ago I got together with some of the All-Stars once again to collaborate with Jon Anderson at a Farm Sanctuary fund-raising event in Beverly Hills, a gloriously successful evening which planted some fascinating seeds for the future (and no, I didn't tell Jon about "Faithful Axe" -- yet.)

The first Offside Open festival in Geldern, Germany: my first all-solo gig in Europe got off to a nerve-wracking start when I entered the stage with Co de Kloet's introduction ringing in my ear: "and as Steve Vai used to say, ladies and gentlemen, the AMAZING Mike Keneally..." This is not necessarily what one needs to hear when preparing to attempt to entertain a large field filled with mostly non-fans who have no idea what to expect, other than now they expect something AMAZING, and my choice was to tread lightly and carefully into the beginning of the set until I caught my bearings. But over the course of the next 80 minutes or so I found my comfort level and ascended to an acceptable level of onstage craziness, and the audience responded in a lovely fashion. Got some stunning reviews too, which is a happy bonus. And wow, what a beautiful setting for the festival -- I love me some trees -- and what a marvelous inaugural outing for what's sure to become a fantastic yearly event.

Coming up! Things in Budapest and Sweden which I will describe in more detail soon -- and a thing which I can now officially reveal -- that myself, Bryan Beller and drummer Gene Hoglan (also of Strapping Young Lad) will be joining mastermind Brendon Small on the road as the real live DETHKLOK of Metalocalypse fame -- yep, we are bringing the metal from the TV screen to the stage. Beautiful madness. This is happening late October into November -- don't have an itinerary yet, but stay tuned. My voice can also be heard on several upcoming episodes of Season 2 of Metalocalypse, which airs Sunday night on the Cartoon Network -- don't know when the episodes I'm on are airing so you'll have to watch them all.

And I will be a guest on Rundgren Radio at 7pm Central Time, September 25. Go here for details: myspace.com/rundgrenradio. And call in and ask me things!

WM RECORDINGS (2)

Hi everyone,
There's a lot going on at wmrecordings.com:

Two new release are online now:

Century of Aeroplanes - A simple process [WM069] - http://www.wmrecordings.com/releases/wm069.htm

A collection of 6 compositions, each of which is based around a simple melodic fragment. These fragments are then altered by various processes (i.e. adding notes, transposing, shifting the beat placement). The compositions end when the process has run its course.

Various Artists - A tribute to Chenard Walcker volume 1 [WM070] - http://www.wmrecordings.com/releases/wm070.htm

Chenard Walcker, a friend of the online music world, is slowly recovering from a diabetic coma. His brother reports that he is not physically suffering. He fell into the coma in September 2006, and is now working on speech development and object differentiation. So many of us have benefited from and enjoy Chenard's work. This is our chance to repay our sweet friend and to send him our love with a tribute release on WM Recordings.

And even more news:

The complete WM Recordings catalog is NOW available on Last.fm! 
A total of 70 free albums and 7 commercial releases can be streamed, tagged, added to playlists etc. 
Of course all free releases can be downloaded as well.

http://www.last.fm/label/WM+Recordings

And last, but not least:
Check out our latest commercial release on Amiestreet.com: RioJafari & The Delicious Allstars - Banausenbrause

Get this funky German hiphop album for a ridiculously low price now: http://amiestreet.com/artist/7347

That'll keep you busy for a while, won't it?!

best wishes,

THE SIMPSONS

CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC

• crosstown traffic: richie III
      (2004, cd, spain, hall of fame records hof-024-cd)
  
  • Mallorca band Crosstown Traffic knows its classics. The band already had an entry on United Mutations as they participated to one of the "Unmatched" Zappa tribute compilations.
    "Richie III" is the bands' first album (at least on HOF) and it has some obvious early seventies influences. You can also tell that the band has listened to Zappa and the Mothers !! (Check out 'What's That Noise?')
    My favourite track is called 'Song For Today'. Ian Anderson could have been singing it (included flute and all).
    Great album. Out on Hall Of Fame.
    
  • www.halloffame.es 

• crosstown traffic: croak
      (2005, cd, spain, hall of fame records hof-027-cd)
  
  • "Croak", the band's second release on Hall Of Fame records, continues where Richie III left off.
    Excellent progressive rock music.
    
    Compared to "Richie III", "Croak" is softer. More melodic, with a nice psychedelic edge.
    
  • I'll be playing these again.

JOS STEEN

• jos steen: black brown stone
      (2007, cdr, belgium, private release - sojneets 29)
  
  • December 2006, Zjakki Willems invited Jimmy Carl Black, Steven de Bruyn and Jos Steen into 'Studio Toots' of Radio One in Brussels. Part of the recordings of this Black Brown Stone trio were broadcast every monday of February during Zjakki's "Cucamonga" radio show.

    The complete recordings can be found on Jos Steen's "Black Bown Stone", a private CDR release.
    
    This is great stuff...

     

• jos steen: electricity : music for tape & turntable
      (2007, cdr, belgium, private release - sojneets 31)
  
  • "Electricity" is quite something else! The subtitle gives it all away: "Music for Tape & Turntable".
    This is Jos Steen's latest piece of work and it gives an idea of the more experimental work that he is doing.
    
    This is not the easiest material to listen to.
