Can't wait for this - Bark Haze were definitely one of the many highlights at ATP. Did you order them from somewhere in the UK sonic!?

Sorry - just noticed the price is in dollars, so that was a stupid question.

I talked to Gown and he told me they going to have a release soon with 2 live sets. I'm not sure if he was talking about this release or the ecstatic peace one.

The Bark Haze LP & CD Written by Important Records Thursday, 30 November 2006 artist: The Bark Haze
title:untitled
catalog #: IMPREC128
format: lpupc: 793447512822
release date: Feb 27, 2007

This limited edition lp was pressed in an edition of 500 with letterpressed covers done by Manifesto. These are completely different recordings than the Bark Haze compact disc also on Important Records.
The Bark Haze is primarily a guitar duo of GOWN (nom de plume of one Andrew
Macgregor) and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth etfuckingcetera). Auxiliary
members have been know to include Pete Nolan (Magik Markers, Virgin Eye
Blood Brothers, Cops et al). Their name came from a mis-hearing of the
radical early 70s R+B group the Bar-Kays and from that moment the concept of
mis-hearing and allegiance to presenting the mis-hearing as some open-ended
musical course became The Bark Haze's identity. So far all concerts have
taken place in Western Massachusetts and once in the confines of Cambridge,
MA's Twisted Village record emporium. They anxiously await their debut gig
in the UK at the Nightmare Before Christmas event curated by Moore. As the
heroic and potentially bonkers Carpenters refrained We've Only Just Begun.
Damn straight.

damn if Pete Nolan is on either or both of those Bark Haze recordings, that shit will destroy... Pete Nolan is one of my fav. young gun slinger percussionists out there along w/ Corsano (if you don't know what he has done then you are sorely losing out brother!), Tremaine (Hair Police, and Eyes & Arms of Smoke), Chippendale (Lightning Bolt)...

If that Death Unit recording is anything like their last 12" that would be pretty hep. the only complaint i had with that is that the propulsive percussive forces of Corsano/Tremaine weren't loud enough in the mix.

Important Records is just about hitting full stride it appears by putting out some essential shit on the latest scene along with Load, Eclipse, Time-Lag and Trouble Man Unlimited...

I was a bit underwhelmed by them at ATP. Gown's axe-wielding left a bad taste in my mouth...

I was being a sad Thurston-ite - Occasionally I caught sight of another guitarist on stage, out of the corner of my eye, but I tried not to let him distract me.

I found Gown's guitar way too fucking loud and his playing seemed a bit self conscious. His guitar tone sounded like shit, and not in a cool lo-fi way.

With Tokolosh's help my video of the set (which concentrates entirely on Thurston) will hopefully be being uploaded somewhere in the next few days. It's not going to make any "most downloaded" lists, but I don't think it's too bad considering it's the first time I've ever filmed a set.

i loved their set although the drums were quite quiet. it reminded me a lot of nyc ghosts & flowers which is my favourite album (well one of) and it really pushed my buttons.
