Chris Landry's Take on the Flywheel Show

The Flywheel, Easthampton
February 8th, 2007

Kendra
Mirror/Dash
Demons
Sightings

Opening for the show was our very own Kendra. Switching back and forth between instruments, Kate Hanlon and Danny Kamps seamlessly merged together a number of their songs to make the set one continuous movement. Kendra is one of those bands whose technical abilities and chameleonic shifting does not overshadow the emotional tones behind their songs. Whatever instruments they may be manning, you can see that they are not just experimenting with them, but playing through them by their own means. We love you two and hope to see you happy someday with someone who truly understands you. He will never understand you like I do.

Following “some band from Keene called ‘Kendra’” was Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon playing under the moniker Mirror/Dash. What I’m guessing was a mostly improvisational set from these two opened with Kim on drums and Thurston on guitar; Kim would later switch to guitar and vocals. Tim Gurczak, local compact-disc merchant, stockbroker, “store worker” and bosom-buddy-consort-friend of the studio, said of Mirror/Dash, “You know, I have a feeling that that was kind of what it was like being back in the Village in the early-80’s” (Editor’s Note: We at Brilliant Corners have looked into the matter and there is no such person as Tim Gurczak according to Wikipedia.)

Next on the list was a side-project of Wolf Eyes’ Nate Young called Demons. The two sat at a card-table covered with synths and drum-machines while a film played behind them. The hypnotizing mix of the two mediums was kind of like video installations created for Subotnick and Risset’s early electronic compositions. Demons wasn’t concussive in the way that Wolf Eyes can be, but it was just as brilliant in its unsettling ways.

The final act was Sightings, a Load Records band now centered in New York City. I’m running out of adjectives, so here: http://images.worldofstock.com/slides/PEM1026.jpg
