Can't wait for this - Bark Haze were definitely one of the many highlights at ATP. Did you order them from somewhere in the UK sonic!?

I talked to Gown and he told me they going to have a release soon with 2 live sets. I'm not sure if he was talking about this release or the ecstatic peace one.

The Bark Haze LP & CD Written by Important Records Thursday, 30 November 2006 artist: The Bark Haze title:untitled catalog #: IMPREC128 format: lpupc: 793447512822 release date: Feb 27, 2007 This limited edition lp was pressed in an edition of 500 with letterpressed covers done by Manifesto. These are completely different recordings than the Bark Haze compact disc also on Important Records. The Bark Haze is primarily a guitar duo of GOWN (nom de plume of one Andrew Macgregor) and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth etfuckingcetera). Auxiliary members have been know to include Pete Nolan (Magik Markers, Virgin Eye Blood Brothers, Cops et al). Their name came from a mis-hearing of the radical early 70s R+B group the Bar-Kays and from that moment the concept of mis-hearing and allegiance to presenting the mis-hearing as some open-ended musical course became The Bark Haze's identity. So far all concerts have taken place in Western Massachusetts and once in the confines of Cambridge, MA's Twisted Village record emporium. They anxiously await their debut gig in the UK at the Nightmare Before Christmas event curated by Moore. As the heroic and potentially bonkers Carpenters refrained We've Only Just Begun. Damn straight. artist: The Bark Haze title:untitled catalog #: IMPREC127 format: cd release date: Feb 27, 2007 This exclusive CD release is entirely different from the LP release on Important which is also untitled.

damn if Pete Nolan is on either or both of those Bark Haze recordings, that shit will destroy... Pete Nolan is one of my fav. young gun slinger percussionists out there along w/ Corsano (if you don't know what he has done then you are sorely losing out brother!), Tremaine (Hair Police, and Eyes & Arms of Smoke), Chippendale (Lightning Bolt)...
If that Death Unit recording is anything like their last 12" that would be pretty hep. the only complaint i had with that is that the propulsive percussive forces of Corsano/Tremaine weren't loud enough in the mix. Important Records is just about hitting full stride it appears by putting out some essential shit on the latest scene along with Load, Eclipse, Time-Lag and Trouble Man Unlimited... |

I was a bit underwhelmed by them at ATP. Gown's axe-wielding left a bad taste in my mouth...

I was being a sad Thurston-ite - Occasionally I caught sight of another guitarist on stage, out of the corner of my eye, but I tried not to let him distract me.

I found Gown's guitar way too fucking loud and his playing seemed a bit self conscious. His guitar tone sounded like shit, and not in a cool lo-fi way.

With Tokolosh's help my video of the set (which concentrates entirely on Thurston) will hopefully be being uploaded somewhere in the next few days. It's not going to make any "most downloaded" lists, but I don't think it's too bad considering it's the first time I've ever filmed a set.

i loved their set although the drums were quite quiet. it reminded me a lot of nyc ghosts & flowers which is my favourite album (well one of) and it really pushed my buttons.
