I'll be heading up to Cleveland for this one.

New album is terrific.

[Bake 1]

What??? ....Steve posted some western states gigs, (usually those tour lists are a heartbreaker for us left coasters)...will definitely hit Du Nord.

[moecurlythanu]

Hopefully I'll make the Beachland gig.

What's a Buke & Gase?

[NogbadTheBad]

What's a Buke & Gase?

I was wondering the same thing.

[Steve F.]

From their booking agent's site:

BUKE AND GASE are Brooklyn-based two-piece Arone Dyer on the “buke” (a self-modified sixstring baritone ukulele) and Aron Sanchez on the “gas” (a guitar-bass hybrid of his own creation). Both of them play double duty mobilizing a small army of foot percussion. These instruments are then filtered through various pedals, amplifiers and other homemade inventions to create a surprisingly complex sound. Arone’s supermelodic vocal lines weave through the beautiful yet sometimes unwieldy musical matter, balancing light and dark, calamity and control.

Their musical multi-tasking makes for live performances that are both visually unexpected and sonically explosive. They self-released an EP titled +/- and in 2010 Brassland released their debut album Riposte. Stereogum's Brandon Stosuy says of the band, "You hear Beth Ditto for a second (one who races/fixes bikes and builds her own instruments, doesn't hang out at fashion shows), Kathleen Hannah in those Bikini Kill days, Throwing Muses, something else, etc., an overall joy."

There is a button on the thread edit bar which looks like some film that allows you to embed, alternatively you can use [ VIDEO ], [ /VIDEO ] (without the spaces), you use the full link rather than the abbreviated version we used to use in PE2.0

[markwoll]

Looks like hipster paradise.
Count me in.

[Steve F.]

thanks Ian!

[Luis Nasser]

Lincoln Hall? That's 3 blocks from my house. The bad news? I have a gig that night, opening for a band with all the members of Peter Gabriel's band, minus T-Levin. Isn't that a kick in the pouch? I love Ahleuchatistas. It's a great room too!

[Duncan Glenday]

(Videos)

Cool vids, Ian, thanks.

Seems I need to look into their music a bit more deeply. Need to look for a few camples...

[Steve F.]

p.s.

Ahleuchatistas do THIS:

[NogbadTheBad]

Not sure I'm keen on a drummr playing in just his underpants. Love the tracks.

[dang]

Looks like I'll be going to The Drake in February

[boilk]

Me, too. I realize it's only two dates, but the thread should be titled "...major US/Canadian Tour...". I almost skipped past the thread. Good news, for sure.

neil

[Steve F.]

I am sorry Neil - yes, it should have said Major North American Tour.

My bad.

[Hunnibee]

They are coming to Portland... yay!
