Night Watch
Sunday May 1st, 2016 with Dāv Fot
Stickmen!

Another Nightwatch, starting in the heavy/Space-Rock vein, detouring thru the post-rock minefield, taking a rest-stop in an uncharacteristically acoustic territory, hitting the jazz-rock touchstone, and then finishing with a feature on some live tunes from the Stickmen, King Crimson's current stick-players' erstwhile agglomeration.
Starting with an anticipatory shot of Hawkwind - the New LP, 'The Machine Stops', rolls into town next week! As well, we play some tracks by bands that haven't released full-length LPs in far too long: Mahogany Frog (4 Years), and Nomeansno (10 years!!).
L.S.D
Hawkwind - Electric Teepee
Sadness Runs Deep
Hawkwind - Electric Teepee
Lady Xoc and the Sheild Jaguar
Mahogany Frog - DO5 Canadian
Kill Everyone Now
Nomeansno - Why Do The Call Me Mr. Happy? Canadian
Had to go post-rock for a bit - I ran accross a couple of LPs that were favourites of mine from the late-80's/early-90's, including a David Thomas (Pere Ubu) solo LP, featuring Chris Cutler (Henry Cow et. al)!

Enthusiastic

Clearly Invisible
Simply Saucer - Half Human/Half Live Canadian

Simply Saucer - Saucerland Canadian
I know we doted on Simply Saucer last Nightwatch... but I wanted to play the Old version (recorded in Carleton Place Arena (!!) in 1978), and the redux-version from 2008, back-to-back! The newer version has lost none of the crazy psychedelic fire of the original...
Land of 1,000 Nights
Mahogany Rush - Strange Universe Canadian
Feel Thing Pts 1, 2 &3
If - Double Diamond
Titicaca (Glastonbury 1989)
Gong - Live Sheffield
Ten Commandments
Figgy Duff - After the Tempest Canadian
Marrakech
Ghost - Lamarabirabi
Hit a bit of Acoustic craziness... and then we whiplash back into electric-land with some music from the one-and-only LP from Univeria Zekt, a French band that was comprised of members from Magma, doing music that was 'more populist' than Magma's material.... but it's still challenging.

Finishing up with the some muse from the Stickmen. (From Wikipaedia): "Stick Men is a progressive rock band founded in 2007 by drummer Pat Mastelotto and Stickists Tony Levin and Michael Bernier. Since 2010, the lineup stabilized around Mastelotto, Levin and Markus Reuter. The band was formed as a vehicle for progressive rock music performed almost exclusively with Sticks and drums." Thanks to Bruce McEwen for hipping me to/supplying me with the tracks to bring to you!
