 | I first heard these guys performing on a subway platform in new york city, and I must confess that I had thought music of this sort had been lost forever in that space warp of time that was the late sixties and early seventies. |
Perhaps there was a fringe element that consisted of myself and a handful of others during the decade of the eighties, but this was post milenium, 2006, and here they were...
These are a duo that creates music through clever use of technology. There are echoes of early pink floyd, tangerine dream, and perhaps a smattering of gratefull dead just to season the recipe that cooks and simmers in the minds of these two musicians. The next time I saw them was at the Bitter End on Bleecker street, and all I can say is that they did not dissapoint. Perhaps the best comment I can share is from a friend who was present at the Bitter End as they started the first song in their set "that's all coming from just one guy?" to which I responded "Yea, the bass player hasn't started playing yet"....
So having heard these guys play on subway platforms and at that wonderful place on Bleeker street that is the bitter end, I was not about to miss their final performance of their 2006 tour at Mo'Pitkins, another great place that also has the virtue of serving some wonderful food. Just go there and have the cuban reuben, don't ask, just go and try it. Anyway, I digress to odd and sundry places and have yet to come to the point, THESE GUYS ROCK! They are the authentic, real deal, and their use of technology is both fresh and and the same time remeniscent of days gone by. But I won't burden you with any further use of words to explain what can only be heard, I'll just give you this link to their site, and post these pictures I took while at Mo'Pitkins...
And now, The pix....
Note: since this blog does not permit more than one photo per post, I am including a link to the pictures on my server-http://amssound.com/heth-jed.html
Enjoy!...Next posting I will be returning to the ongoing saga of the endless tale of woe....
Be afraid, it's OK...
