Red Sparowes - At the Soundless Dawn

btw I heard some nice pieces at your link.

---

Hey all,

Unfortunately some of our gear was stolen after our show in Stockholm, Sweden. We realizes chances are slim but if anyone happens upon any of the following please rip the eyelids of the perpetrators and poor salt in their eyes, then let us know where we can collect our gear.

THE FOLLOWING WAS STOLEN FROM US:

2 fender silver face 1970 twin reverb amps (on the cases it says "Nomads of Prague")
1 early 70's birch, 8 inch, red, tama snare, 14 x 8
1 22 inch zildjian K ride cymbal
1 20 inch zildjian K ride
1 20 inch zildjian K crash
2 14 inch zildjian HH Hi Hats
1 footswitch for a mesa boogie Mark 4 amp
1 standard throw Sanyo projector lense (PLC9000N)
40 Extra Large Red Sparowes shirts
25 Red Sparowes "At the Soundless Dawn" cds

There were some other smaller items (2 dvd players, a screen for our projections, a Sony Boombox, a box of roughly 80 dvds), but these are of minimal value.

Please forward this, if we can even get one of these items back it will help out a ton. Thanks very much,

Red Sparowes.

That sucks about all their gear.

The titles are incredibly long, though:

Track 3: "Like The Howling Glory Of The Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous And The Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts And Clutching Our Innocent Awe."

Track 6: "And By Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent In Their Puddles, The Air Barren Of Song As The Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, The Locusts Noisily Thanked Us And Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing Our Greed Whole."

Did Fiona Apple join the band or something?

They are pretty good if you like this sort of thing. I'm going to see them next Thursday, should be a decent time.

Did the Isis guy leave?

both Red Sparowes and Isis are playing the same night: 05/30

Red Sparowes is in the Cactus Club in Bruges with EF (and me in the audience) :

and Isis is playing in Tourcoing (France) at the same time:

Does this mean Meyer isn't in both bands anymore? I'm going to know for sure on the 31st, since I'm going to see Isis in Brussels then, but in the meantime: ???

nevermind.

Also, some of you may have noticed that ISIS is touring soon after we leave. Unfortunately, because of their schedule, Cliff won't be with us, but we're taking two of our favorite people to fill in - Brendan Tobin (Made Out of Babies) and Steve Moore (Zombi).

totally missed this release, need to look it up

EF: great but shy, couple of new tracks that sounded a little too new (basic structures are there, but you could see them feeling around for ideas at times), very impressive when they played songs from their album.

Red Sparowes: flirting with the border between mesmerizingly amazing & yawningly boring, luckily they had great visuals that helped a lot during the parts between the good bits. A lot of songs I didn't recognize, maybe that explains it? (I think I know both their albums pretty well - I guess they were either new songs or very reworked versions)

tonite: Isis!

i envy you

I've been listening to this album again over the past couple of days. The two best tracks, in retrospect, are the two that top 10 minutes. The first of those has some of the scariest, most apocalyptic soundscaping ever recorded as an outro, after a great track, and the latter, the last track, is simply one of the most despairing, kinetic laments ever composed upon electric guitar. It's like the women of Greece tearing out their hair and beating their breasts in the old tragedies, except it's about the fate of modern man. Awesome stuff.
