This month:
Merzbow - Great!
Los Siquicos Litoralenos / Skull Mask / Rubber O Cement - Funnest, best line up show I've been to in a long time.
Senyawa - Super intense folk rawness from Indonesia
Black Spiritual /Dead Neanderthals - Dead Neanderthals set a high bar for the evening with a heavy set of droning free jazz, then Black Spirituals blew everything away, the best, deepest and most sensitive jazz/noise thing I've seen in years and something that every fan of Lee & Thurston's improv records needs to see or hear.
Thurston Moore and Sick Llama - Sick as fuck duo set from two musicians who should continue to play together.
Big Shug and Jeru the Damaja - Was awesome to see these guys playing the hits; however, Jeru was reeeaaally milking the crowd participation stuff and bumming out chunks of the audience with his frequently sexist and homophobic stage banter. On the Big Shug is a soulful dude and one of the few rappers who can actually sing.
