their mountains so lofty, their treetops so tall
Over the last year, some of the music I've enjoyed hearing the most is weird, delicate folk from Finland (visit the Fonal website for a taste, they've got loads of MP3s if you sniff around a bit). So when I learned that Clay Ruby (of Madison psych-folk outfit Davenport) had organized a US tour for some of the new crop of the Finnish psychedelic scene, I was pretty excited.
The show was Monday night, and it featured Lau Nau (who have put out a release on Chicago's own Locust label), Kuupuu, and Jan Anderzén (ringleader of Kemialliset Ystävät), who was playing with Spencer and James of the Skaters.
I ended up putting most of these people up at the Blood Dorm that night, and the Skaters stayed with me until this morning. It was nice to spend some downtime with them, just lying around with them watching obscuro 80s horror (Xtro, New York Ripper), but the real highlight of the visit was the Skaters / Number None jam that happened yesterday. We got some recordings of the session; maybe some of it will come to light one day. Labels: number_none, personal |
