Stereopathic on Hypem

Laura Gibson very kindly risked carsickness and the bleary-eyed, sleepless rigors of living in a tour vehicle while en route to a several-show stint at SXSW to answer some questions we posed to her in anticipation of her upcoming show here this Friday. Laura, touring in support of her much-beloved by Stereopathic record, Beasts of Seasons, alights upon Moscow alongside Seattle’s Pablo Trucker and Troubletown (also known as Jenna Conrad). An elegant and deliberate record, Beasts of Seasons piqued our curiosity not just about Laura’s songwriting and recording processes, but also about the Read more

Low Red Land, from San Francisco, make music that echoes their geographic history. They met in New York, played in Boston and then moved to the City By The Bay. They play music that’s reminiscent of post-hardcore with shadings of folk. It’s a dichotomy they embrace; they play sets both electric and acoustic. It’s fantastic when a band that can rock as hard as a Fugazi, Jawbox or Rival Schools can also be content to sit down with an acoustic guitar, banjo, accordion and vocal harmonies. Their new album, Dog’s Hymns, while leaning more towards the rock ‘n roll, finds a balance between these two sides of the band. They effortlessly mix throat-tearing protest songs and softer personal songs. This is a band totally at home with being two very different things. And in the end, they pull it all into one big, unified whole.
Go see them in Moscow, on April 1st, at the Nuart.
Nate is a land and music surveyor. He lives in Moscow with his wife and two children. He is not from Moscow, but he likes it here and wants there to be more music of the live variety.

The Stereopathic Song
Filed Under Featured | Leave a Comment
After the huge success the new intro to the show had amongst users (1 of our 12 listeners loved it!), we’ve decided to make the song publicly available. It’s FREE!* Enjoy!
The song is DRM free and ready-made to be incorporated into your morning “Wake Up” playlist, aid recovery from your fortnightly existential crises, or be mashed up with The Kingston Trio and Duran, Duran.
*Market research revealed that only the unsought-after demo of “35-45 year olds with extreme early-onset-dementia” would actually “pay money for that crap.”

Mike will be performing live on Stereopathic Sessions today (our weekly radio show at www.kuoi.com). You won’t want to miss Mike, he’s great! You can hear some of his music here. (I personally suggest “Action Heroes In Glass Jars”)

The Burgeoning Stereopathic Lineup
Filed Under Featured, Updates | 3 Comments
We’re rolling with the punches. Particularly the absurdly typical late winter slap in the face we’ve just received here in Moscow. A moderate dusting of snow. Which means it’s still a good time of year to be inside. We suggest doing a little surfing on the Information Super-Web, or listening to the radio, or catching a live (indoor) show. Some specific ideas include:
Jared ‘Robert’ Dunn and his band play alternative country tunes with a strong Western flavor (which I hereby appropriate inappropriately and refine here to mean both the North and South West). Sounds like Merle Haggard got in a fight with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, it came up a draw (Haggard’s age, Tweedy’s migraines), they shook hands, and wrote a song about it. Good for what ails you.

Brady Allen just laid down an impressive set on our own Stereopathic Sessions (12:00 PM-2:30 PM PDT on KUOI FM, Moscow, 89.3, or here http://kuoi.com/index.html). His Myspace page below hosts a couple of those songs. Brady’s music sounds like G-Love dropping in for open-mic night with a folkie friend of yours on an evening in July.

From what we’ve heard of him Bart’s music ranges from Old School Folk to Blues to Beck-ish experimentation. He knows his way around his recording equipment in addition to being a multi-instrumentalist.

We already mentioned the radio show (Stereopathic Sessions at 12:00 PM-2:30 PM PDT on KUOI FM, Moscow, 89.3, or here http://kuoi.com/index.html). Check it out. People say it’s fun. Who? Just, you know, people.
Live music? Where people plug in instruments and sound systems and lay their souls bare for your amusement? This Saturday, March 29 from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm Bart Budwig proposes to do just this for a room full of people at Arts Place Gallery Concert Space (205 S. Washington). The aforementioned Brady Allen also appears, along with the oft-buzzed about folk duo The Wolffs (come up with your own variation on joke about how you shouldn’t get too close . . . or feed the animals . . . or how they really need to reconsider not dubbing themselves ‘Mama Wolff and the Feral Children’) .
That’s what we’ve got right now. Check back for updates, as well as (we’re hoping) audio and video from the show. Enjoy the weather. It won’t last forever.
