The Proxemics opening for No Joy @ Corazon
by High Mayhem Newsletter 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

[image: High Mayhem] High Mayhem Emerging Arts http://highmayhem.org/ *T-Cubed & Corazón Present NO JOY w/ The Proxemics* * * *Wednesday, April 27 at 9pm* Corazon 401 S. Guadalupe Street Santa Fe, NM $5 Advance / $7 at the door * * *The Proxemics* Founded in early 2009, The Proxemics are an autonomous music project with a revolving cast of musicians led by lynch pin and frontman Alex Neville (The brilliant Dullards, A. Barnhouse, Audible Whispering 1/2 Quartet). They are currently working as a quartet featuring Neville (Guitar, Mandolin, Bass, Samples, Vocals), Yozo Suzuki (Guitar), Roland Ostheim (Bass) and Michael Smith (Drums) and reside on the High Mayhem label. The Proxemics are a stripped down assembly, sometimes appearing as a garage-based, dirty wall of sound, sometimes as deconstructed balladeers offering you their hearts on their sleeves. Neville unites crunchy, angular alt-rock with a singer-songwriter sensibility while never letting go of his experimental roots. Mimicking the definition of their moniker, The Proxemics are at times both distant and intimate, treating their audience to an emotional tug-of-war. The songs appear effortless on the surface, but upon deeper investigation they become a complex system of asymmetrical forms with sonic threads and noise, weaving songs into a larger, continuous theme. The shifting members of The Proxemics are all long-time members of the High Mayhem Emerging Arts Collective, also based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico, which has helped shape the City Different’s unique underground scene for the last ten years. *No Joy* http://www.myspace.com/nojoy And, don't forget... *Nakatani Gong Orchestra, Captain Ahab, & Yellow Crystal Star* Thursday, April 28 at 9pm at High Mayhem Studio, suggested $10 at the door

[image: High Mayhem] High Mayhem Emerging Arts http://highmayhem.org/ *TARTUFI and The Proxemics* *Sunday, April 17 at 2:30pm* High Mayhem Studio 2811 Siler Lane Santa Fe, NM Suggested $10 donation at the door *TARTUFI* Formed in 2001, San Francisco’s TARTUFI released three albums as a power-pop trio, Westward Onward (Thread Records- 2002), So We Are Alive<http://cdbaby.com/cd/tartufi> (Thread Records – 2004), and Trouble <http://cdbaby.com/cd/tartufi2> (Acuarela – 2005), and garnered heaps of press and “Best of…”s before members Lynne Angel and Brian Gorman decided switch gears and head in a new direction. In 2006, having just played a South by Southwest showcase and with an album at #75 on CMJ charts, the now duo had much to prove and an eager desire to fulfill their like-minded sonic vision. Ditching their previous material and hitting the studio armed with bigger amplifiers and modified loop stations; Angel and Gorman began developing their new sound. In 3 months time, the reinvented band had written and recorded Us Upon Buildings Upon Us<http://cdbaby.com/cd/tartufi3> (2006- Thread Records) with the help of Tim Green (Joanna Newsom, Melvins, Monotonix) in the engineer’s seat. Having shed many of the band’s previous pop sensibilities, UUBUU’s rich, epic and complex sound surprised many critics and fans alike. The album propelled Tartufi farther onto the national stage. Tartufi made three laps around the U.S. in support of UUBUU. Audiences nationwide were left awestruck as the duo was able to reproduce the complexities of the album using live looping as opposed to with the aid of a laptop or Midi time clocks. Critics around the country picked UUBUU as one of the best albums of the year. In 2007, after more than 120 shows, Tartufi was voted Best Indie Band in the Bay by The San Francisco Bay Guardian. The Proxemics Founded in early 2009, The Proxemics are an autonomous music project with a revolving cast of musicians led by lynch pin and frontman Alex Neville (The brilliant Dullards, A.
