[image: High Mayhem] *Pillars and Tongues, Extramadura, and Black Iron Trio* *Presented in association with Meow Wolf and The Process* * * *Friday, June 8 at 8pm* *High Mayhem Studio, 2811 Siler Lane, Santa Fe* $10 single-day membership at the door * * Around this time last year<http://nofearofpop.net/2011/05/premiere-pillars-and-tongues-the-making-grac…> Chicago’s *Pillars and Tongues* enchanted us with their superb album *The Pass and Crossings* on Empty Cellar Records<http://www.endlessnest.com/store/index.php#ptpc>, a stunning blend of slow-burning neo folk and melancholic, blue-eyed and cloud-gazing yet earthbound psychedelia. The band has headed off on an extensive late spring/early summer tour through the States. To mark the occasion, Pillars and Tongues have just released a free digital single, a re-recorded and alternate version of “(Laid) Palms to Tell”, which had already been a standout on *The Pass and Crossings* and that will be featured on a limited tour release. The free digital single “(Laid) Palms to Tell” and two other tracks are available at http://pillarsandtongues.bandcamp.com/album/laid-palms-to-tell. *Extremadura* is Jeremy Barnes of Neutral Milk Hotel and A Hawk and A Hacksaw fame perfroms solo *Black Iron Trio* is the newest project formed by New Orleans percussionist, Milton Villarrubia, III.This trio features J.A. “Dino” Deane (Lapsteel dulcimer and electronics), Carlos Santistevan (acoustic upright bass), and Milton Villarrubia, III (drum kit with effects). Using improvisation as a vehicle for their pieces, the trio explores the dynamics of music by combining the completely acoustic upright bass with two low volume amplified instruments that are then processed through effects boxes. At times mellow and blue and other times thick and ferocious grinding rules the sonic sheets of sound, always with a focus on maintaining the dynamics of the music to allow the listener to always feel the intimacy of the upright bass. By combining ukelele, dulcimer, bass and drums in this environment, Black Iron Trio is creating a new form of electro-acoustic folk music at its best. Deane and Santistevan have played together in numerous projects including: Out of Context <http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/out-of-context>(w/ Deane as conductor), The Late Severa Wires<http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/late-severa-wires> , and Taiji Pole. Villarrubia and Santistevan have been playing music together since 1999 and have been cohorts in numerous projects that have ranged from fictitious avant-garde talk show house band to their raucous-teenage-duo iNK oN pAPER.<http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/ink-on-paper> [image: 1006674690-1.jpg (510×510)] * * *Ezza Rose, The Grannia Griffith Story, Gynormica, and Flamingo Pink!* *Monday, June 11 at 8pm* *High Mayhem Studio, 2811 Siler Lane, Santa Fe* $5 at the door; all ages * * This is going to be an incredible show case of local and touring talent! Come join us in Welcoming the Lovely and talented Ezza Rose and her band. Portland darling and southern California native Ezza comes to Santa Fe toting her well-received sophomore album “Jacob”. Ezza’s sophisticated mix of Americana roots, folk, and blues as well as her soulfelt lyrics and magnetic performances make her one of the most exciting new up and coming indie artists on tour this summer. ezzarose.bandcamp.com/ Also Appearing: The Grannia Griffith Story!
