Carla
Bozulich's Evangelista, The Dead Science – Knitting Factory
$10/$12
 What
better way to celebrate Bastille Day than to witness one of the
worlds' foremost chanteuses? Carla
Bozulich is an uncommonly creative, intense, and prolific
musician who, despite the nearly unanimous enthusiastic admiration
of critics and musical peers, has never really achieved the notoriety
she deserves. With a powerful and dynamic voice that whispers and
wails in darkness like nobody on this side of Diamanda, Bozulich
is a stylist, gymnast, and performer without parallel. You may remember
her from early-1990s industrial group Ethyl Meatplow, mid-1990s
gothic Americana of Geraldine Fibbers, or her late-1990s ambitiously
ethereal collaboration with guitar hero Nels Cline, Scarnella. She
recorded her first solo album, a personal reinvention of Willie
Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger, featuring the red headed
stranger himself, a few years back. Her current album, Evangelista,
again showcasing the unmistakable and inventive work of Cline, as
well as members of Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed You Black Emperor!,
and others, continues in the experimental tradition of Scarnella
- but for my money is equally more coherent and varied (and I liked
Scarnella). You'll be shocked and amazed at how this natural wonder
and fine artist achieves her recorded feats in front of your face.
Utterly heartstopping.
Get there
early for the power of Seattle's Dead
Science - another fine example of hyper- musical post-modern
contemporary west coast darkness.
Tomorrow,
why Siren Festival sucks more than ever...
