Café Oto Listings – June 08

Welcome to our first monthly bulletin. Bellow is a list of events for June. All tickets can be brought via our website www.cafeoto.co.uk.

Hope to see you at Café Oto soon.

WED 4 JUN • 8PM • £6 - MEG BAIRD + SHARRON KRAUS
Over the years Meg has played as part of the Baird Sisters along with her sister Laura, as well as with the Philadelphia psych-folk collective, Espers. Her first solo album, Dear Companion was released in 2007. It features Baird's high, pure vocals and intricately picked guitar, the album conjures up the timeless and universal nature of the best folk music. The songs are deeply rooted in traditional song forms, from age-old British Isles ballads to Appalachian laments, as well as the 60s and 70s singer-songwriter era.

Sharron Kraus creates music rooted in the folk traditions of England and Appalachia. Her work is characterized by rich vocals, haunting banjo and fine acoustic guitar. Her live performances are stark, compelling, and delicate. As with her music, her performance continues the tradition of the balladeer bringing tales of terror, sadness and joy.

Ticket link - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/30505

THUR 5 JUN • 8PM • £5 - THE DUSA ORCHESTRA + THREE BEARDS
The Dusa Orchestra is Peter Lenzin (sax), Patrick Kessler (double bass), Enrico Lenzin (drums) and accordion virtuoso Goran Kovacevic. Presenting the art of genre-melting performance that has elements of Alpenmusic, Tango, Balkan, Jazz, Folk and Classical.

Ticket link - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/30591

FRI 6 JUN • 8PM • £5 – SUZY MANGION + ISNAJ DUI
Suzy's songs drift from style to style, but are always unified by her trademark haunting vocals and complex harmonies. Her recent solo album The Other Side Of The Mountain has allowed even more experimentation with her sound and songs, a harmonious noise of electronics old and new mixing with the bricolage of beats, banjos and beat-up

Since the debut release in March 2005, Isnaj Dui (real name Katie English) has been busy on the live circuit, provoking much interest from fellow experimental electronica artists for her unique blend of acoustic instruments and electronically manipulated effects. As a classically trained flautist, Katie uses concert and bass flutes alongside an effects and looping device as well as home made instruments including the electrodulcimer, a stringed instrument devised by Katie herself to create a unique and versatile sound.

Ticket link – http://www.wegottickets.com/event/29433

SAT 7 JUN • 8PM • £5 – THINGUMA*JIGSAW + DEAD RAT ORCHESTRA
Thinguma*jigSaw combine elements of Irish/British/American folk and avant garde music. Following their relocation from their native Norway to Ireland, the duo quickly built up an audience in the Irish underground music scene and have just released their debut album "Awakeinwhitechapel" on the Irish-based psych-folk label Deserted Village.

The Dead Rat Orchestra create beautiful music from sketches of guitar, violin and percussion.

Ticket link - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/30653

SUN 8 JUN • 8PM • £6 - NANCY ELIZABETH + JOHN FAIRHURST
Nancy is a Manchester based singer and instrumentalist who mixes folk and post rock influences to make enchanting and dynamic music. Nancy's first album was recorded in a 17 century cottage in rural Wales and a village hall on the outskirts of Manchester and features guitars, harp, dulcimers and harmonium amongst other instruments all alongside her unique voice and harmonies.

John Fairhurst plays English guitar folk with shades of Indian classicism. His debut album 'Joys Of Spring' was recorded in his shed, but is very much global in its scope. Different strokes recall Ravi Shankar, John Fahey and Burt Jansch, yet Fairhurst is taking his own distinctive strides.

Ticket link - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/30625

MON 9 JUN '08 • 8PM • £5 - FAMILY ELAN + CIAN NUGENT
"The Family Elan derive inspiration from devotional and folk music traditions as well as the tanbur playing of the Kurdish Sufi mystic Ostad Elahi and Âshyq songs of the Azerbaijani sâz master Edalat Nasibov, alongside the rawer, more percussive sounds of the Yayla musicians of the Eastern Black Sea region – who fashion reed instruments from young pine saplings - like Hasan Yïldïrïm (who plays the violin like a drum) and Hayri Dev. The music of the Rebetes of early twentieth century Greece is an obvious benchmark, alongside more recent European folk revivalists like the Hungarian band Muzsikás. Other signposts might include the bouzouki inventions of Anne Briggs and the musical tapestries of the Incredible String Band." – Locust Music

Cian Nugent is an exploratory guitarist from Dublin whose playing is rooted in pre-war blues, Appalachian string bands and Takoma tradition. Fayey is an obvious reference but Cain is no mere Fahey copyist. He uses the style as a starting point for his compositions and creates something highly personal within these limitations

Ticket link - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/31759

THUR 12 JUN • 8PM • £6 - 'A Series of Fortunate Events…' Present EDDIE PREVOST and ANTON LUKOSZEVIEZE. Series curated by David Ryan and Olivier Rodriguez
'A series of Fortunate Events…' brings together two brilliant improvisers with longstanding involvement in the contemporary international scene. Eddie Prévost has been involved in numerous small group contexts as well as being the driving force behind seminal improvising group AMM; Prévost is one of a core of radical innovators who have laid the foundations for European free improvisation. Anton Lukoszevieze has a formidable reputation as a champion of avant-garde and experimental music, and is the director of new music ensemble Apartment House. Respectively these musicians have been affected by elements of the avant-garde, composition, and indeterminacy; but above all, they are each engaged with an attention to sound and the unfolding of sonic particularity in time and space.


TUE 17 JUN • 8PM • £3 – Free Improvisation Platform Curated by Adam Bohman: Greg Morgan-Sax and Gave Williams-Drums + Pianos Ghikas-Violin etc and Zachary Von Weizsacker-Cello etc + Chefa Alonso-Soprano Sax and Tony Marsh-Drums

TUE 24 JUN '08 • 8PM • £6 - COBA , FINN PETERS, YEE-KING + SPECIAL GUESTS
Coba is a Japanese accordionist who has won several international accordion competitions, he has released CDs in Europe and Japan. After Bjork saw coba perform in London in the late 90's, she immediately asked coba to join her band for a world tour. Since then, he has become one of the most renowned Japanese artists and has spent 15 years regularly touring Europe. Coba has dramatically transformed the traditional image of the accordion into a new form. Tonight he will be improvising with Finn Peters and Yee-King

Ticket link - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/32069

FRI 27 JUN • 8PM • £5 – Shiu-Yeung Hui from Maher Shalal Hash Baz

JANDEK
Jandek touches down in London for only the second time, following up the incredible solo performance from three years ago with a dynamite trio featuring the representative from Corwood Industries, Matt Heyner on bass and Pete Nolan playing drums. Sure to be one of the most furious configurations yet tested under the Jandek banner; expect high-intensity rockers, relentless white-outs and of course the rep’s irrepressible vocal delivery that has darkened his large shadow across the constellation of experimental and outsider music. Matt Heyner and Pete Nolan are no also-rans in those worlds, either, what with Heyner’s rich background as leader of free-form-freaks No Neck Blues Band and member of Cold Bleak Heat, Test and of course previous Jandek outings. Nolan has hit revered heights as sticksman with out-rock noise duo Magik Markers and has also released some essential acid-guitar work under his Spectre Folk mantle. The performance takes place at The Nave; the deconsecrated St Paul's church in Islington, that now operates as a Steiner school and unique arts venue.

Burning, ecstatic rhythms and kinetic drones. NYC double bass freak and NNCK guru Matt Heyner joins them for this performance.

SPECTRE FIRE TRIO
Spectre Fire Trio is the union of drummer Pete Nolan (Magik Markers, GHQ, Spectre Folk), Manchester tenor sax player Ray Dickaty (Solar Fire Trio, Spiritualized) and free-jazz supremo John Edwards on double bass. A sweaty prospect - come prepared.

Oren Ambarchi
http://www.orenambarchi.com/
Oren Ambarchi is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with longstanding
interests in transcending conventional instrumental approaches. His work
focuses mainly on the exploration of the guitar, "re-routing the instrument
into a zone of alien abstraction where it’s no longer easily identifiable as
itself. Instead, it’s a laboratory for extended sonic investigation". (The
Wire, UK). Ambarchi's work on harmonics and resonance has led him to define
serene spaces of fluid, shifting sound that is both fragile and extremely
physical.

He has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists such as Martin Ng
(Australia), Sunn 0)) (USA), Christian Fennesz (Austria), Otomo Yoshihide
(Japan), Pimmon (Australia), Keiji Haino (Japan), John Zorn (USA), Rizili
(Greece), Voice Crack (Switzerland), Sachiko M (Japan), Keith Rowe (UK), Phill
Niblock (USA), Gunter Muller (Switzerland), Evan Parker (UK), Robbie Avenaim
(Australia), Toshimaru Nakamura (Japan), Dave Grohl (USA), Damo Suzuki (Japan),
Chris Townend (Australia) and many more.

Ambarchi is involved in many collaborative projects including the song-based
duo Sun with Chris Townend (releases on Staubgold, Preservation, Textile &
Important records), Burial Chamber Trio together with Greg Anderson of Sunn
0))) & Atilla Csihar of Mayhem (with a recent LP release on Southern Lord & an
upcoming 10" release) and Grave Temple with Csihar and Stephen O'Malley of
Khanate & Sunn 0))).
