NAME & HENRY KAISER

• name: s/t
      (1981, 12"EP, usa, private release)
  
  • Here's another Henry Kaiser / Captain Beefheart related release.
    From 1981.
    Rick Snyder adds:
    "NAME is composed of six youthful musicians--they appear to be in their late teens and early twenties  --who grew up together near Disneyland, moved to Berkeley and; formed a band. Meeting local guitarist Henry Kaiser at one of his gigs, they asked him to fill in for an ailing member. The relationship  solidified and now Kaiser is one of three electric guitarists in the group. Erling Wold and Judilh Stadtman play the other Guitars,  (Wold doubling on keyboards).  Lynn Murdock and Rick Crawford  play electric bass. Mark Crawford  plays drums, and Everett Shock  adds declamatory vocals and  screeching sax lines.
    This EP is also engineered and co-produced by PHIL BROWN (who would later perform the same duties for CAPTAIN BEEFHEART on his "ICE CREAM FOR CROW" LP!)."

THE RESIDENTS

• the residents: animal lover instrumental
      (2007, cd, usa, ralphamerica)
  
  • "Animal Lover Instrumental" is out. It's another Ralpharmerica release, and it's a limited edition of 1000 numbered copies.
    Resafinados are probably listening to this album right now. If you're not a Residents Freak, and only know them from some of their better known albums, you might consider giving "Animal Lover Instrumental" a try. Repetitive, child-like melodies, combined with haunting gong sounds and guitar lines.
  • I like it a lot.

NETJAJEV SOCIETY SYSTEM

• netjajev society system: s/t
      (2008, cdr-promo, sweden, ??)
  
  • Every once in a while, bizarre things happen at the UM headquarters. I would classify this little Netjajav Society System promo as one of them.
    The Netjajev Sound System (or artist Magnus Lundberg) will have an album out next April. According to what I hear on this promo disc, it will be an hardcore / noise / punk album.
    It's not really my cup of tea, but that might just be me...

AKA MOON

'De Singer' is a fine jazz club and I've seen quite a few bands performing there. Last Friday, however, the venue was almost too small for Aka Moon. The place was loaded.
This was the first time that I saw Aka Moon live, and I loved it. I do know a couple of their albums, and these are amazing, but what these guys do on stage is unbelievable.
Top. 

And it's all a matter of taste, as I saw at least 5 people in the audience that own the entire Zappa catalogue... 

I've added an Aka Moon entry to UM, if only to add their discography and some data on various live shows...

• aka moon: amazir
      (2006, cd, ??, cypres records cypres open 01)
  
  • Aka Moon's latest album is called "Amazir", and it's a perfect introduction to Aka Moon.
    Probably best described as an avant-garde jazz trio, Aka Moon is so much more. It's a perfect mixture of different styles, and yet immediately recognisable. It's Aka Moon.
    Check them out.

THE KENEALLIST 2008 01 24

2008 01 24

A message from Mike:

Opening for Robin Trower in San Diego Feb. 5!

Hey all -- now that the Belly Up show is over we can tell you about another show which weren't supposed to announce until that one was done: another performance by the MK/Lunn/Minnemann trio in San Diego, this one opening for Robin Trower at 4th and B. If you are me, you remember listening to Bridge of Sighs quite a bit in your room in the house on Pebble Beach Drive in Santee in the early '70s, so this is a fun gig indeed. We'll see how the Trower fans take to our madness. Maybe I better hook up the Univibe pedal.

From Mike's previous Keneallist message:

JAPANESE ACTION IN EARLY FEBRUARY

I'm very thrilled to finally be returning to Japan after a very long time away. Thanks again Hiroshi Ota for making this trip possible. Look nearby for details about the gig, the in-store and the radio program (which you can hear online).

COMING SOON

WesFest 3, at least one other gig which we can announce shortly, and other "amazing" "information" for you. The recording session with the guys from Umphrey's McGee went fantastically a few days ago, and I'd be jamming with them at the Troubador tonight were it not for a pesky virus I picked up from the damn air. Everyone say, get better by Sunday Mike! Say it!

I love you, three times,

mk

DANIEL ROHR

Daniel Rohr is back, and he will be explaining "Faust".

When one talks about a contract with the devil, rock music immediately comes to ones mind. Bands like AC/DC and the Stones sing about the highway to hell, or about sympathy for the horned one.

Two actors and a 5-piece band will be talking about Faust's Mephisto and Gretchen, and they will do so, using rock songs as 'I can't get no satisfaction', 'Knocking on heaven's door', and even Zappa's 'Cheepnis'.

THE HUMBLE GRUMBLE DISCOGRAPHY

• humble grumble: dreamwavepatterns
      (2000, cd, bel, private release)
  

  • from the website:
    'Humble Grumbe started off in 1996 with the folk and jazz musicicans of Dearest Companion, a belgian flip-folk group. The early music had more in common with folk-rock than jazz, but was always flavored with an excentric touch of humor. The early work of Humble Grumble was mainly composed by Gabor Humble and Tom Theuns, who already played rather manic performances in the region of Ghent at the time.'
    "Dreamwavepatterns" is Humble Grumble's first album, and it's a pleasant mixture of folk and jazz, including funny vocalworks by Gabor Humble...

     

• humble grumble: rockstar
      (2004, cd, bel, private release)
  
  • "Rockstar", Humble Grumble's second album, is more rock-orientated. The guitar is heavier, and up front. It makes a nice mix with the strings.
    I like it.
    Due to the mixture of different musical styles, and the humorous lyrics, Humble Grumble is said to sound Zappa-esque. Well... this is not entirely untrue...

• humble grumble: 30 years kolinda
      (2006, cd, nl, pan records)
  
  • A bit over a year ago, Humble Grumble released "30 Years Kolinda". Kolinda is an Hungarian folk group, lead by Peter Dabasi. On this album, Kolinda's folk tunes get the Humble Grumble treatment.
    This is an excellent album. It might not be as funny as the two previous albums, but it has beautiful, quirky melodies and nice improvisations. There's even a throat singer on track three !!
