Aerosolized Mucus open for Screen Vinyl Image, Teething Veils, more on 7/18
First: Both shows last Sunday night went amazing; thanks to everyone who came out. During my showhopping I managed to catch Wilson Shook, Anduin, and part of Jasper TX. All were great. Wilson Shook was the most surprising: he's a meek saxophonist who played quietly in front of us with no amplification, making clicks, breathing noises and other stereotypically non-music sounds. I'm trying to talk my friend Adam into seeing him in Toledo.
The downside of playing two shows in one night is of course most people will miss at least one of them, and if you missed Aerosolized Mucus, good news! Although we said our Electric Possible show would be our last before Dana moves overseas, we lied, and are opening an otherwise non-noise event, Night of a Thousand Suns Fest at the Basement Speakeasy in Arlington, Virginia:
(The poster predates our being added to the bill.) This is super exciting. I've gushed before about Screen Vinyl Image and my love affair with their utterly unique electro-infused shoegaze sound and psychedelic visuals. If you live in the DC area and don't see this band, you are wasting your life. Then there's Teething Veils, solo project of Greg Svitil, formerly of The Antiques. A quieter act, Greg is an excellent songwriter with the rare skill of making the acoustic guitar/vocals formula fresh and making music that really sticks with you.
I admittedly know little about the other 7 bands, but Greg apparently picked them, so they will by no means let you down. Everyone who plays at the Basement Speakeasy has always been wonderful in my experience.
As for Aerosolized Mucus, we'll bring the psychedelic noise jams and lube everyone up for a great night. Most likely it'll be a quieter set for us, emphasizing our acoustic side (guitar, vocals, found percussion) with the electronics as more of an accent. This begins at 5pm Saturday, we're the opener and the only "noise band" that doesn't play songs, and you can learn the location by emailing basementspeakeasy@gmail.com - it's walking distance from Clarendon Metro on the orange line. Donations are taken for out-of-town bands so they can afford to get home. You should definitely go, not even for us - though you do love us - but because this whole fest will be so incredible.
