Damo Suzuki and his band(s) ::: White Noise Spitz 29 May.

too many bands to really do justice to-Damo Suzuki rocks in both lineups (they were different) he plays with. jamming within a bigger band sound, Suzuki and co do 'MotherSky' in first set, the bass player reminding me of the synth guy in Suicide when last seen at the ICA. Suzuki is evocative of previous incarnations in Can, and also Jim Morrison’s psychic territory. in the second set, things got a little more minimal and funky, the second band providing a rhythm framework that Suzuki vocalises in, creating an intensely sensual space that i feel has great integrity. both bands locked with Suzuki in a way that helped this.

White Noise provided a set of more considered electronics. David Vorhause and Graham MacMahon jammed a set of sublime atmospheres, vocal samples and Hawtin style minimal techno before settling into a beautiful classical meets Oval kindof stasis to finish.
