Califone house show, Sat Aug 24
by High Mayhem Newsletter 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

*What: *Califone *When:* Saturday August 24th 8pm *Where:* A living room in Santa Fe, NM Only ticketed guests will be admitted. Tickets are extremely limited and can only be obtained here: * http://www.undertowtickets.com/product/califone-living-room-show-santa-fe-n… * Join the Facebook event: *https://www.facebook.com/events/157701457752349/* In an underground music landscape where 140 characters equals "journalism" and lone MP3s propel bands to momentary internet stardom, bands are here today and gone tomorrow. Califone is a band that defies this blueprint. Their albums are full of layers and textures, offering endless depth, entire universes to lose yourself in – and beyond the thick spectrum of sound, they do something even more important: They write great songs. Califone is a band that will stand the test of time. After the breakup of his former band Red Red Meat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Red_Meat>, frontman Tim Rutili <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Rutili> formed Califone as a solo project. Rutili's solo effort soon became a full-fledged musical project with a regular and rotating list of contributors, including many former members of Red Red Meat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Red_Meat> and some members of other Chicago bands. According to Rutili, Califone started as a home project: "The statement of intent would have been 'easy listening' compared to what we were doing with Red Red Meat. This was supposed to be making little pop songs out of found pieces. It was supposed to be just a little home project, and it slowly grew from there. Now it seems like just about anything goes."

Puppet Mayhem at High Mayhem on July 17
by High Mayhem Newsletter 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

*Puppet Mayhem with Miniature Curiosa (Pittsburgh) & Flying Wall Studios (ex-Pittsburgh)* *July 17, 2013 at 8pm* *High Mayhem Emerging Arts studio, 2811 Siler Lane, Santa Fe NM* *Tickets are suggested $10 donation at the door (no one turned away) * A puppet extravaganza that will change your perception of what a Puppet show is/can be. *Miniature Curiosa* from Philadelphia joins High Mayhem’s own Flying Wall Studios (aka Puppet Meat Market) Clown, archivist, and amateur scientist Albert Billows has built a time machine. Mr. Billows requests the presence of an audience on July 17th at High Mayhem to witness its maiden voyage, *Tonight a Clown Will Time Travel*. Please be warned there will be danger, balloon animals, and heartbreak. Pittsburg-based puppet company Miniature Curiosa presents this immersive puppet spectacle for one night only in Santa Fe as part of their North American tour. Integrating live-projection technology, the Victorian pastime of Toy Theater, repurposed overhead projectors and a canopy filled with LEDs, Tonight a Clown Will Travel Time is not to be missed! *Tonight a Clown Will Time Travel* is not intended for young audiences. [image: tonightaclown_promo_tour_santa_fe] <http://www.highmayhem.org> *Flying Wall Studios* Sabrina and Damon Griffith, co-founders of Flying Wall Studios (formerly Puppet Meat Market) began combining years worth of puppet making and production skills in 2002. Since then, they have made and sold thousands of puppets as gifts and collectors items, many of which have travelled internationally. Since their first showing at the Beehive Coffehouse in Pittsburgh Pa, their work has been seen in craft fairs in New York, art markets and galleries in Santa Fe NM, The DeYoung Museum in Sanfrancisco, and in homes throughout the country and abroad. Creating puppets as a form of playfulness, FWS seeks to engage its viewers in their own creativity. Often there is only a title or single name given to a piece. This is to encourage the viewer to create a relationship with the puppets, creating the puppet’s world and intertwining it with their own. This is why the artists encourage viewers to play with the puppets on display rather than simply look upon them as an untouchable work of art. Every person and every puppet is unique. The combination of personalities, real and created, makes for endless stories and play, thus personalizing each individual’s experience.

People stopped buying drinks; the bartenders put their elbows on the counter, engrossed. It was remarkable… Ms. Olsen has found her sound – her voice, alone and untreated and slow, conjoined with the specific resonance of her guitar – and she’s able to replicate a private discovery in front of a crowd. That’s a lot.” - The New York Times “11 tracks of rough-hewn folk, shimmering and ribboned with dirt-packed veins, sung by a voice that curls and dips and dissolves like a black smoke plume.” - Pitchfork (2012 Albums of the Year: Honorable Mention) http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17154-half-way-home/ http://angelolsen.com http://youtu.be/OTnuKVqRmdY * * *Villages* Villages is the solo recording project of Asheville, NC resident Ross Gentry. http://villages1.bandcamp.com/ *The Catahoula Curse* -Alex Neville: guitars/vocals (The Proxemics) -Milton Villarrubia: Drums/electronics/vocals (Ink on Paper) Southern Gothic Ameritronica Founded 2013 in Santa Fe NM http://www.highmayhem.org http://www.facebook.com/highmayhem https://soundcloud.com/highmayhem

Founding members, Roland Ostheim (vocals, guitars, electronics) and Michael Smith (drums, electronics, saw, vocals) present 12 new tracks in their diverse catalog of songs. The new album continues on expanding the bands sound further in dynamics and sonic experiences. The bones of the album were recorded at High Mayhem Studios in the fall of 2011 and early 2012, and finished in the bands own studio and rehearsal space, Ruthless Sweetheart Studio in winter 2012. We Drew Lightning is also very excited to announce a new addition to the band, Aaron Jenks (keyboards), who recorded on 4 of the tracks on GLITCH, and adds a whole new dimension to the We Drew Lightning live sound! Other musicians also appearing on the album are Carlos Santistevan, Lily Taylor, and Joan Yatsevitch. The album is available on CD’s, download cards, and online (bandcamp, cd baby, itunes). http://www.wedrewlightning.com/ [image: 4PAN1T] *Author & Punisher* Author & Punisher is an industrial doom and drone metal, one man band utilizingprimarily custom fabricated machines/controllers and speakers. He has performed and shown these machines in festivals and exhibitions in the United States and abroad extensively, releasing his third album, yet first sculpture/art based album entitled “Drone Machines” in 2010 on Heart & Crossbone Recordsout of Tel-Aviv. His new record, focused primarily on the newer Dub Machines, entitled “Ursus Americanus”, was released April 24th, 2012 onSeventh Rule Recordings and was listed as one of Decibel Magazine’s top 40 metal albums of 2012. His new LP “Women & Children” will be released in April of 2013. Drone/Dub Machines are custom made machines fabricated from raw materials and utilizing open source circuitry. The devices draw heavily on aspects of industrial automation, robotics and mechanical tools and devices, focusing on the eroticism of interaction with machine. The machines require significant force from the performer,aligning he or she with the plodding drone and doom influenced sounds that are created. Alongside fabricating machines and composing sound for performance, Tristan works at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research ( http://ncmir.ucsd.edu) as a mechanical engineer and the Center for Research and Computing in the Arts (http://crca.ucsd.edu) at the University of California, San Diego as a researcher in sound interface design. * * http://www.tristanshone.com/bio-resume-contact/ * * [image: IncubateFestNetherlands] http://www.highmayhem.org http://www.facebook.com/highmayhem https://soundcloud.com/highmayhem
