Miss Rayon * european Tour spring 2018

Miss Rayon !

The members of Miss Rayon live in Portland, Oregon, but the sounds they make come from somewhere else. Maps are gonna be pretty much useless if you endeavor to find the source of the trio’s squirrely, sidewinding racket, but you might try searching somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, at the very bottom of a pitch-black pocket of the ocean where New York no wave and UK
post-punk meet and mate and make very strange babies.

Eric Sabatino, who started Miss Rayon as a solo songwriting project, will cop to the provenance of his band’s sound: he says Sonic Youth, Magazine and Siousxie and the Banshees were very much on his mind when he recorded Miss Rayon’s three-song demo, which features vocal contributions from Tender Age’s Elaina Tardif. You can hear those influences echoing through the recording, but
even on these first dispatches from Miss Rayon’s dark territory, there is something weird and new happening. It’s a dance party on the verge of collapse. A dream threatening to break into waking life. A song that somehow turns into a ghost.

Soon after recording Miss Rayon’s demo, Sabatino ditched the solo routine to team up with bassist Jenny Logan and drummer Hannah Blilie. Logan plays in Deathlist, Summer Cannibals and Sunbathe, while Blilie is best known for her work with The Gossip. It probably doesn’t need to be said, but let’s say it: this might be Portland’s premiere rhythm section. As good as Sabatino’s aforementioned demo recordings are, they’re mere blueprints for the newly minted trio’s future monuments.

Monuments to what, though? It’s hard to say. Miss Rayon’s songs are slippery creations. Just listen and let them work their way into you. There is dread and beauty in them, jagged edges and dark grooves, insomniac thoughts and visions born in deep sleep. It is music for nights filled with smoke and flickering lights. Monuments, then, to whatever your mind gets up to when it declines invitations
from reason and logic.

The band will soon release a two-song seven inch, after which they will begin working on a full length album. Until then, you’ll have to find them on tour. A west coast trek is in the works, and there are plans for trips abroad. Stay tuned. Miss Rayon is:

Eric Sabatino (Vexations, Cat Hoch, Appendixes) – guitar, vocals
Jenny Logan (Deathlist, Summer Cannibals, Sunbathe) – bass, vocals
Hannah Blilie (The Gossip, Shoplifting, Vexations) – drums

coming up! Umm * european tour 2018

New thing here.

Umm

A new project from Stefanie Drootin (The Good Life, Big Harp) and Chris Senseney (Big Harp), Umm finds the couple drawing inward, draping vintage harmonies and shards of fuzz over grounded, primitive rhythms and simple, aching pop melodies. Like the Everly Brothers and Suicide smoking cigarettes in bed and listening to the Breeders, but dual-gendered and neither naive nor pretentious. (Chris and Stef’s other project Big Harp has earned acclaim for releases on Saddle Creek, Fat Possum and Majestic Litter, ranging from literate folk to kaleidoscopic thrash-pop, as well as being lauded for their energetic live shows in the US and Europe.)

Al Burian. Früher mal Chicago, dann mal Rom und nun im Moment jetzt wohl Berliner, bietet euch ungeniert Einblick in die Abgründe eines Aussenseiters in Portland. Sämtliche Niederlagen, sein neues, gerade im Ventil Verlag erschienenes Buch, beschreibt absurd witzig und im unverwechselbaren Al Burian Stil den Aufstieg Portlands zur hippen Szenestadt aus den Augen eines Unterlegenen: „Ich muß zugeben meine Arbeitsmoral ist echt mies. Vielleicht bin ich sogar der schlechteste Arbeiter auf dem ganzen Planeten. Irgendjemand muss es sein, warum also nicht ich?“.

Launisch, verschroben und immer kurz vor der nächsten Krise hält sich Burian immer gerade so über Wasser, treibt am Rande der Hipsterszene Portlands durch die Café´s und Kneipen, Strassen und Wohnviertel, Parks und Partys und rechnet schonungslos ab mit sich, Portland und seinem Leben.

Al Burian, Musiker bei Milemarker, Challenger, Auxes und Big Eater, Soloartist, Kolumnist beim Vice Magazin und Punk Planet, wahnwitziger Verfasser und Herausgeber von Burn Collector, Alles Irrer, drunk Comedian, politischer Verlierer und Stand Up Cartoonist aus Berlin/Chicago gibt sich einen Ruck und dreht im Dezember 2013 komplett für euch durch. Tragikkomische Kurzgeschichten vom Scheitern am täglichen Geschehen. Lustig absurde Alltagsszenarien zusammengestellt vom Enfant Terrible der nordamerikanischen Punk Szene. Alles in einem großartig unterhaltsamen Programm aus Lesung, Comedy und Satire. Einer absurden Dramaturgie folgend, die Entsetzen und etliche Verwirrung garantiert. Vorhang auf …
