Steve Shelley is known by many and most as the drummer for the not-too-recently "disbanded" Sonic Youth. Shelley, along with his mates Brian Case, Damon Carruesco and Jonathan van Herik, make up the gritty Chicago rock troupe, Disappears. The band's new album, Pre Language, is out now via Kranky, and Shelley himself will be live in the EVR studio on Thursday to chat with Infinite Eargasm's DJ Hallogallo.

I went to the gig in Hasselt yesterday. It was an excellent show, had a great time. It was really great seeing Steve playing. Also finally grabbed the LP-version of Pre Language :)

I am going to see them 2 weeks today in Toronto. Should be good. I know nothing about them.

Is there a listing of all releases?

Super thanks stu!

Zo 08 jul `12 Disappears
@ Effenaar, Eindhoven, in the small hall

Saw 'em last night, they rocked.

Not to be an ass, but do you have a longer report as to why they rocked? I know you're here to make friends etc, so writing a little more on their live qualities would help knowing who you are a little more.

You're too often monosyllabic, that's all.

Nah, I'm terrible with words and describing stuff. All I can say is that they played music, and they played it well. Those guys did what they had to do, and Steve kicked my face in once again. There you go guy.

Yeh, I get it. I don't talk much.

Cool. I get you're a boring bastard then.

Yes, very much so.

2 disappears shows confirmed:

Sat 7/7/2012 NL UTRECHT - EKKO
Sun 7/8/2012 NL EINDHOVEN - EFFENAAR

There's an article/interview on one of those free music mags you pick up in record shops. I have it at home somewhere.

Read Pitchfork if you want a pompously overblown, scientific, dissertational account, bordering on gross pretentiousness, of gigs. :rolleyes:

Quote in Dutch:
De Peter J Taylor Big Band bestaat uit een hele stoet lokale gitaristen, onder onder leiding van de Engelsman Peter J Tailor (o.a. Action Beat), die Glen Branca en Sonic Youth achtige gitaar improvisaties spelen. We zoeken dus volop gitaristen en drummers die dit graag eens willen beleven. Aanmelden kan bij info@effenaar.nl.

Crappy Google translation of that quote:
The Peter J Taylor Big Band consists of a procession of local guitarists, among headed by Englishman Peter J Tailor (eg Action Beat), which Glen Branca and Sonic Youth-like guitar improvisation play. We are looking for plenty of guitarists and drummers who wanted to live like this. You can register at info@effenaar.nl .


Looks like a real fun night, I wish I was there to tape it. Oh hey, I will :D

Should I start a single thread for this?


(edit: just remembered that I filmed Action Beat in Paris and put it on youtube in superduper shitty quality. Hell of a fun show that was to watch from above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxL6aosGwpw&feature=plcp )
