In between ASAC shows, we wanted to make sure you knew about this great event. Do try to come up to Saratoga if you can - this is going to be a fantastic double bill, in a great venue. See you there! MV / EE & the Golden Road Wovoka The Arts Center 320 Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 518-584-4132 Saturday November 1, 2008 at 8:00PM $5 admission, all ages welcome Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see Vermont's MV / EE with The Golden Road. MV & EE is a group of musicians focused around Matt Valentine, sometimes referred to as MV, and his partner Erika Elder. Matt Valentine was in the neo-psychedelic group, The Tower Recordings. While the duo recorded under many different names, including MV & EE Medicine Show, The Bummer Road, and The Golden Road, most of the records center around both artists and feature a rotating cast of additional musicians. Their style is self-described as "lunar ragas", with many of the lyrics dealing with celestial imagery. They combine Indian raga style composition with Appalachian folk and post-psychedelic electrical experimentalism. They use Western and Eastern acoustic instruments amplified and augmented with effects such as reverb, delay, and flange. Read more about them at the ecstatic peace website http://www.ecstatic or visit their myspace page at http://www.myspace. Then come see them in Saratoga! Wovoka opens. According to Aquarius Records, Albany underground legend Wovoka is a mysterious purveyor of "gloriously sun-baked, drug drenched slabs of psychedelic free folk splendor." Using a variety of strategies such as "simple tribal drumming, chanted vocals, spidery psych-rock guitars, and long stretches of blissful Appalachia and buzzing drone-like raga," Wovoka has been known to mesmerize with their magical and rare live appearances. Wovoka's highly limited and beautiful records have become sought after by collectors around the globe. Their music has been described as "a totally tripped-out late afternoon drift through a skeletal world of folky twang and abstract rhythmic shuffle, super laid back and totally hypnotic." An essential two record vinyl set of reissues is due out soon on Time-Lag Records from Maine. Go to <http://www.myspace. for a sample! Eric Hardiman Albany Sonic Arts Collective www.albanysonicarts |
