If you're familiar with my musical tastes, you'll know that one of my all-time favourite bands is Royal Trux; when I heard that Neil Michael Hagerty, one-half of the acclaimed duo was coming to town I naturally had to go. ALso on the bill, Alexander Moskos' latest project, Drainolith, and locals Eraserheads.
I saw Eraserheads a little while ago performing in the Mugshots Courtyard. Their projections worked a little better with an actual projection screen.
Here's Omar!
The whole lot!
More Alex!
And so on!
Everything electronic worked out pretty well this time, as well!
I've seen Alex Moskos perform many times, but I can't recall if it's ever been with the same band: He's served in Goa, Unireverse, backing Damo Suzuki at the Avant-Garde, Thammes, AIDS Wolf .... He also teamed with headliner Hagerty recently in Dan'l Boone (Hagerty also produced Drainolith's latest).
And here's Mr. Shapiro, half of rhythm-section-for-hire The Trippy Twins.
Hairy action!
It was an evening of minimalist drumkits.
Rhythm section action!
Although the headliner was billed as Neil Michael Hagerty, it was really the latest permutation of The Howling Hex on stage (Hagerty gave out the band's anme after every tune). He was joined by spoken word maven Lexie Mountain and percussionist Eric Van Leuven. Here's Neil, seen just a few minutes earlier playing the House of Targ's Metallica game with grave intent.
Tiny drum kit action!
Lexie explains the intricacies of cat-folding.
Neil sings!
Lexie shakes!
Eric hits!
Singalong action!
Extra Lexie!
Harmonica action!
A mighty fine night.
