Paradoxal Pterodactyl

Electric violin virtuoso Dixon (Dixon's Violin) astonished all with his superlative performance at the regional Burning Man event Interfuse this past weekend, hosted by the sound camp Eyelicker.  Recorded for posterity by Davelybob, it is a supreme honor to share the experience with our audience, with Dixon's ever-gracious permission.  The man is a gift to us from the universe.

Next time you should be there.

The intersection of Cherokee Street and Oregon Avenue was the epicenter of a massive rumbling freakout on Saturday as APOP Records roped off the street outside to unleash some of St. Louis's craziest acts on the general public. Catholic Guilt's stunning set centered around their particular interpretation of some old Ngozi Family tunes (look it up). Dingus is very pleased with the recordings he got- is it live or is it paradoxal?

all that other shit = fictitious.  blowing kisses to bill on his birthday.

unreleased PHONED NIL TRIO!    a Paradoxal Pterodactyl EXCLUSIVE!

"Phoned Nil Trio is the harsh noise/free improv group consisting of Peter J Woods (xALLxFORxTHISX, FTAM), Neil Gravander (Lucky Bone, ex-Fahri) and Dan Schierl (Dan of Earth, ex-Aluminum Knot Eye). The sounds are spastic and totally awkward, combining harsh static blasts with synth pulses, tape hiss, arbitrary vocal samples, and long silences in a way that barely holds itself together. Sounds awkwardly cut in and out, slowly reaching a point of equilibrium only to have it ruined by the next jarring idea, leaving the audience constantly in a state of intriguing confusion. Live, the group matches its bizarre sounds with a strange theatricality, including the band brewing a free pot of coffee for the audience at every show during the performance (the percolator often doubling as a musical instrument as well).”

also, a heads up- Peter J. Woods returns to St. Louis with Lucky Bone in tow on August 8th, playing with friend of the show The Night Grinder, at LNAC.  Do it.
