This week on What's This Called? with special guest host DJ Ferris for Saturday, May 24th 2008 from Noon to 1 PM Pacific Time (that's 8-9 PM for listeners in Glasgow, Scotland!) on KPSU, a one time live reuniting of Olympia, Washington's experimental folk punk ensemble That Stupid Love Experience!
STREAMING AUDIO REUNION RIGHT HERE! Or for those closer by who want to listen on the radio like we did in 1998: 1450 AM in the Portland OR/Vancouver WA metro area 98.1 FM on the Portland State University campus That Stupid Love Experience was an experimental indie folk pop group formed in the late '90s from members of two Olympia bands - That Stupid Club (an experimental grunge/noise rock group) and The Kelsie Love Experience (a folk pop group centered around pre-teen and then teenage prodigy vocalist Kelsie Love). The group name, just like it's members, came from half of each separate band. While certainly an all-in-fun agenda prevailed, this was Kelsie's first real "rock" band, and later she would go on to change her name to Olivia and become vocalist for the popular NW all-female Black Sabbath tribute group Black Bettie. It's been ten years since That Stupid Love Experience has played together and in recent years any sort of reunion seemed completely impossible as band members Kelsie (now Olivia) and her father Matt Love had a falling out. Time thankfully is a wonderful healer, and recently when former vocalist/moog player Ricardo Wang had made plans to book Matt for a solo set on his KPSU show it came out that Olivia might sit in. Soon Ricardo was dusting off his trusty moog, and making calls with the new invention of cellular phones to other former band members. To avoid a conflict of interest, Ricardo enlisted the help of KPSU's most noted interviewer DJ Ferris to take over the radio host duties. Times (and names) have changed, and three quarters of this particular line-up is now married to new people, with weird things happening in their lives like careers and children. However, TSLE still knows how to mix covers from the likes of Beat Happening and Joy Division with original songs about schizophrenics and creepy deadhead misogynists. This performance is dedicated to Matt Love's good friend and musical cohort Joe Sibley who took his own life about a year ago. |
