holy fucking shit.
This is absolutely fucking GENIUS. these guys are brilliant. I just HAPPENED to click on the link to an album review on RJ's site (http://www.rowjimmy.com/archives/418) and I'm absolutely floored.
I didn't know what to expect... but i fucking love this.
they're so like...... misty. and psychedelic. and gentle.
they inhabit the first side of Meddle, before Echoes. They're just playing on the other side of the field. omg this is so cool.
I usually HAAAAAATE stuff like this... the minimalist folk solo artist kinda shit, but these guys are so inventive and unique... omg this is so amazing. wow. thank you RJ.
i'm a little more than halfway through the SICK amoeba music in-store interview/performance thing... "this time around"
this shit is so genius. god damn. i absolutely love this. it vibes like Tom Petty's "Highway Companion" album does... and I love that. It has this bleak, poetic atmosphere... but its not depressing. Its... mysterious.
its so cool watching them play these songs... during one of the earlier ones, maybe the first one on the video, "River" i think, it felt like.... it felt like they were caressing silence, and coaxing out this gentle, breezy music out of the air, out of nothingness, and then let it drift gently back into non-existance at the end. that was so cool. I have NEVER been as enthralled and enraptured by someone playing an eggshaker.
this is absolutely amazing. I'm buying their records tomorrow.
edit: they're playing Crickets now, and this is something i thought when i heard the first song on the video: I HATE his guitar tone!!!! I hate it!!! Its so weird, because I'm thinking "why would you EVER actually SEEK out a tone like that?"
BUT!
It is absolutely CRUCIAL to their music. Without that crazy treble tone, the music wouldn't have that mysterious hazy old-time feeling. So damn.
They're top notch for sure. I have some live shows, and a live DVD if you're interested.
Check out their "Love is Simple" album if your really want your face pan seared.

These guys have become a personal obsession of mine since aug hipped me to "Love Is Simple".
I reviewed that one here: http://www.rowjimmy.com/archives/109
I'm going to see them in August. Cannot wait.
oh shit thats sick
but yo its kinda weird, cuz these guys are SO just like the Grateful Dead, in a way. Like, they have the very beautiful, soft psychedelic music, but their shows are like, WACKED OUT. Like, really the only thing that got me to click the link was all of the shit I've read in every review or interview about the madness/whatever of Ed is a Portal, with the audience ending up all onstage 'n shit, and I watched a video last night where the bassist guy like, had his side of the room doing this crazy shouted rythmic thing, and then the guitarist had his side do something, and then they did like... i forget what they called it, but they all ended up screaming into the mics 'n shit, and then they started actually playing it, and they were all jumping up and down like crazy and getting way into it. it was nuts.
but these guys are so great. I think they're going to be HUGE. And their website is... interesting... the His/tory thing and the Akron World thing on the main page is tripped the fuck out in a big way.
so what happened with this other, 4th original member?
He left to go live in a temple.. buddhist, I think but I'm not certain.
Speaking of Akron/Family and Grateful Dead, have you noticed the lightning bolt?
(http://www.akronfamily.com/img/logogo_home.gif)
Have you heard them play "I Know You Rider".
They're also totally taper-friendly.

yes. i also owe thanks to august for hipping me to this album, which is too great for words.
have at it, gumbo!
I checked these guys out today, too, and I really dug the sound landscapes, if you will, that they created - I was listening to the stuff on myspace, all the while thinking they'd be a great band to trip to.

Haha, welcome to the cult...

Sick show. Really, every show of theirs I've ever heard has been great. But from the handful from this spring that I've heard and from seeing them during South By, I think they're on a major roll.
Just gave these guys a listen, and I am very impressed. Just ordered love is simple and set em wild, set em free
So, they actually jam?
You must listen to them live.

that DC show would be great if it wasn't 2 days before Darien Lake. however the 9/10 show in Baltimore might be relevant to my interests..
I think I'm gonna have to hit up that Cleveland show.

RJ is a portal.
It's dope that people "get" these guys.
Love is Simple is an album that will blow minds 50 years from now.
You guys don't have fall tour yet?
Slack.
Love is Simple is sick. currently in heavy rotation.
saw this on the wiki:
QuoteThe band also released a limited edition CD/DVD of the band's "The Great American Mess Tour 2006". The Live footage was shot at various locations while on tour.
anybody seen this and know if it's worth trying to track down?
Finally got around to listen to Love Is Simple and Set 'Em Wild Set 'Em Free last night and was floored but 'em. Last time I was this impressed by a studio album was when a friend gave me a copy of Dr. Dog - Easy Beat.
Akron/Family = Face Melt!
http://www.youtube.com/v/f6_0DoBrYk8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0
:-o
Free show at the Rock Hall 07/22. Will be my first.
Great clip.
Awesome! +k
I love the tie dyed flag backdrop. When I saw them at Mess with Texas during South-By there was nothing on the stage for them to hang it from, so they had 2 guys stand there and hold it up behind Dana for the whole show, and they would wave it dramatically at key moments. And for the last tune (Woody Guthrie's America) they all came to the front of the stage to sing and wrapped the flag around themselves.
been listening to Set Em Wild Set Em Free this weekend. and while it obviously isn't as good as Love is Simple as a whole, it certainly has it's moments. the high points are very high, the first 4 tracks especially. I've listened to River probably 10-15 times.. awesome music and even better lyrics. and the vocal harmonies at the end of The Alps are painfully good. these guys fucking kill!! yet another band I've been sleeping on. but they have a lot of great music ahead of them (I hope)
factoring in work, I'm gonna have a hard ass time making it to that D.C. show 2 days after the Gorge and 2 days before Darien. I just gotta get there...

Saw these guys for free at the Rock Hall of Fame last Wednesday. I loved it so very much so. A good amount that reminded me of early, put post-Syd, Pink Floyd.
It was also family night, so there was quite a number of groups of people walking briskly away with their ears covered.
And my gosh, there were hipsters galore.
That is Awesome ... :rawk:
+1 to Gumbo for starting this thread, may not have discovered them otherwise
listening to and loving Set Em Free

Hadn't seen those last couple of vids yet, thanks for posting RJ!
Seeing MBF performed live, before the new album was out yet and not knowing what the f was going on, was one of the most awesome and dumbfounding concert experiences of my life..
Here's another cool one.
They Will Appear is currently my favorite song :-)
Same here. :-)
This show
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=523439
has the only live version of it I've ever heard outside of the Daytrotter Session they did, and it's absolute fire.
Currently no seeders.
I just moved and temporarily don't have internets at home, but as soon as I get that set up I'll hop back on that if anybody still needs it.
I'm on that one as of...now.
Come and get it if you need it.
just hopped on.
thanks for the seed.
heard them for the 1st time today - got 3-26-09 in a snail mail trade.
cool stuff - will need to listen some more.
btw no set list on the db for that show. anyone have any info?

fucking ROCKED OUT with RJ and Igbo. tiny room, kinda shitty sound I thought but there's no way I'd have rather been in Chicago last night..
shook hands with Miles the bass player before the show. I told him I loved their music and he really seemed to appreciate that.

Really enjoyed the show, psych folk groove noise i guess. Could have been louder and noisier.

It really is crucial to steady your hand in such a "low light" situation such as that one. Hold the camera against a chair or a wall or something and you'll get better results. I would suggest your taping gear, but I'm not sure how much bumping that sort of thing, even ever so slightly, would affect the outcome of the recording.
No photo is worth touching the mic stand during a set.
I should say... I like these pictures.
They seem perfectly appropriate for the band.

Young underage hipsters, and 3 old dudes. Thoroughly enjoyed the 22oz PBR's
look at these fucking hipsters.
lol at the picture conversation, but this:

Agreed. Somehow it seems like we should all be heavily dosed at their shows.

I've been thinking this a lot lately, especially with shows from the last year or so. Limited, similar setlists but with boundless improvisational potential, noisy, feedbacky jams, the tribal thing, the Americana thing...
Here's another radio appearance I found, from KUCI in Irvine CA on 4-23-08

and these seem to be photos from the session

I listened to it earlier today -
Gravelly Mountains and Creatures are essentially the same as the current versions, River is played a bit slower and has a cool little jam at the end.
Lake Song is sort of the current version, with the NCMFM drums before and after, and a ridiculously noisy outro jam. No joke, I had to turn it down when the feedback got excruciating.
"There's A Riot On The Corner" is the same thing as "Untitled 1" from the Daytrotter Sessions - that is to say, it's an embryonic version of Everyone Is Guilty with no lyrics.
And "Something For The Neptunes" is sort of this little drum machine and noise jam.
Cool. Thanks for the link.
Speaking to Miles the other night, he let me know that they're fixing to send in their approval for archive.org!!
That's awesome^^

He must be part of the underage hipster crowd! Ha ha, ok, after having spent some time catching up on this thread, I like the videos posted earlier, the pics from this recent show you all went to are awesome, and I am digging everything I have heard on youtube. Plan on getting and listening to the albums listed previously, and at work so haven't dl'd any shows yet, but am listening to rj's recorded show right now:
http://www.archive.org/details/akak2009-08-11
Ok, I think that catches me all up! :-D
okay guys, I see that there are 3 A/F shows up on the LMA... which do you recommend DLing? (RJ's or just get all three? :wink:).... I saw that they had a nice chunk of dates in Austin this past March. Too bad I was unaware of them then. I'm sure they'll be back though.
I have purchased the Love is Simple album now based on recomendations.
Akron= AKA Ron McKernan?
Sorry, just jiving w/ lightning bolt and GD comparisons from the beginning of the thread; haven't read through yet.
people really shouldn't sleep on Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free. it's awesome.
Hey.
Never listened to these guys until just right now.
I like. At first listen, I'm reminded a bit of Boredoms.
Thanks for the recording RJ.

I listened to that yesterday, then Love is Simple, then went back to this, and listened to it a couple more times through. Really enjoyed it, only a couple tunes I wasn't really feeling, Gravelly Mtns of the Moon and MBF, otherwise, liked everything else.
ok, so i now am in the know...they are pretty good, Reminds me of minimalist Radiohead x Wilco x Rusted Root...I think i like Lake song the best so far...thanks for the recommedations.

I wouldn't compare them to any of those bands.
I wouldn't either but I couldn't let the crusted froot comp go without taking a shot.

I sent a couple tunes to a buddy and he came back with the Rusted Root comparison. I was kinda insulted.
Has anyone here heard Boredoms or think that is a valid comparison?
I still have obviously only heard a few Akron/Family songs, but this was my instant impression.
Both kind of have the tribal/hypnotic/repetitive/electronic infused sound.

Boredoms is some heavy shit, and much more on the punk tip than Akron/Family IMO.
Although while on the subject of psychedelic Japanese bands, maybe Acid Mother's Temple would be a better comparison.

Yeah, it was the closest thing I could think of that I knew. But even when that popped into my mind last night, I was thinking..."except better".
Anyhow, yesterday I was focused on the SEW, SEF, tonight I'm going to give the Love is Simple a few runs through as well.

I know exactly what you're going for. I think it would be more like the Boredoms crossed with Bob Dylan or Jeff Tweedy.
But yeah, the Boredoms is spot on.

I think Acid Mother's Temple doesn't sound as much like it as some Boredoms music. But, I do think if you like Akron/Family, you'll very easily like Acid Mother's Temple and the Boredoms.
I'm surprised nobody here has called them "the poor man's Animal Collective"...that's how I've seen others refer to them (I don't agree).

Wow, that's cool. So there are 2 degrees between A/F and :phish:?
speaking of not riding my bike to outside lands today where Akron/Family is playing, they played a show last night at the tiny Rickshaw Stop.
and it was great. they just keep killing it, every time i see them (4 and counting...).
they had a keyboard player and a guitarist from the opening band, called Howling Rain (whose set i missed) sit in starting in the middle of the noise jam that led into Ed Is A Portal, which was insane as usual. then they went into Everyone Is Guilty, which sounded great with the added musicians. they went into two lengthy jams, one of which was heavy as hell. don't know if anyone was taping, but it'd be a fun show to hear again.
NICE review of their show in Ithaca. And, it's up on the archive. http://www.archive.org/details/akronfamily2009-09-16.aud.flac16
QuoteReview: Akron/Family Enlightens Ithaca 09.16.09
Akron/Family — By Johnny Goff on September 18, 2009 at 2:18 pm
ITHACA, NY | This week Ithaca's Castaways hosted one of the most enlightened bands making waves in the indie and jam circuits. The 150 fans that packed the venue were treated to an hour and a half of schizophrenic, juxtaposed, genre-busting melodies from the Akron/Family.
Prior to hitting the stage that night, word was Akron/Family, a trio of guitar, bass, drums and a Carrot-Top chest of fun instruments, was known for their shows constantly building in energy. As the crowd would come to find out, Ithaca's show wasn't to be any different.
Following a 6 minute spacey, intimate "Meek Warrior", Akron/Family delved right into one of their newest and catchiest tracks "River" from their newest album Set 'em wild, Set me Free. Sure to keep anyone in attendance singing the song's chorus "You and I and a flame make three," in any grocery line, "River" really took off mid-song as Slaraffenland's Danish 4-horn section blared in with a New Orleans big band brand of boisterous brass and provided the night's first real jolt of what this band was capable of.
Also standing true to an apparent oath to the crescendo and decrescendo, Akron/Family and it's "Big Band" for the tour began to weave their harmonious yet dysfunctional path through peaks and valleys right into one of the favorite offerings of the evening, "Alps & The Orange Evergreen" also off Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free. Not particularly renowned for their voices, bassist Mile's Seaton smooth, lofty voice perfectly mirrored the Paul Simon-esque whimsical ballad recalling pastoral observations in Switzerland. Perhaps it was the more streamlined countenance of the once heavily bearded bassist, or maybe, just maybe, a compliment not previously bestowed from the array of recent write-ups the band has garnered.
From there, it was time to bring it down once again. If only, for a brief song "Gravely Mountains", and then segueing stubbornly into the "Lake Song" which briefly beckoned images of calm Trappist Monks before once again, getting slapped across the face with a driving drum beat from drummer Dana Janssen and Olinsky dropping some nasty psychedelic/punk rock chords. Wait a minute... Now the sound is swaying into slightly distorted and raw. Akron/Family's modus operandi was beginning to get clearer and clearer: Beauty and serenity are only truly appreciated when chaos is riding shotgun. Energized bedlam is best served hot with a cold plate of melodic pauses.
Akron/Family continued this approach during the 16-min "Lake Song" into what seemed like a "drums" jam, with either member of the trio pounding on some form of tightened rawhide. Not yet stopping for applause, Akron/Family was showing why they are considered 'a band that jams', despite the modest physical response from the stalwart crowd in attendance that night. After nearly 10 minutes of noisy interludes, trombone shouts and guitar distortion, Janssen began reigning in the rhythm with his high-hat and Seaton found a groove before again, dropping the mood down to basically what an orchestra sounds like when warming up.
While exploring those sonic peaks and valleys, Akron/Family also manages to succeed where other bands fail. Lyrically and vocally, as in "Lake Song," when the band ironically sings, "Just when you've finally forgotten you're alive, your light? That's exactly when they send you back. It comes together only to fall apart.
From "Lake Song/drums", Akron/Family began the real peak of their visit to Ithaca during a a 20-min jam "Ed is a Portal" (from the album Love is Simple) which consisted of Walt Whitman meeting Ginsberg, Antibalas meeting the Flaming Lips and some Avant Garde jazz meeting down home bluegrass. This, while being overlayed with a feverish guitar and drum lick and occasional hoots, hollers, tribal yips, horns, flutes, communal chants...even some Olinsky zany and happy barks of "Good Morning! Good Morning!" So pleasantly confused, the crowd finally began to move their feet during the exploration and the dance floor at Ithaca's Castaways was back to the pouncing it's used to. The jam here really cannot be understated. While crazy, sometimes non-sensical and unguided, this particular Akron exploration was sure as hell, the most fun of the night.
Also renowned for their crowd interaction, this tribal jam really slugged the sluggish crowd with everything it had. At one point, Olinsky dropped to his knees and hid under a sheet, still berating 'Bellvue-like' babblings. Many responded with their applause or head bobbing and Akron/Family, once again, pulled the carpet out and sent the jam into orbit with some lo-fi spaciness. As evidenced from the jam, Akron/Family is like seeing 15 different acts at Bonnaroo on one stage at one time.
Following the "Ed is a Portal"/ "The Immortals" jam, Akron/Family and their adopted "Big Band" (Danish group Slaraffenland) then began to tie a bow on the evening with a real funky helping of "Everyone is Guilty". Sure to be a great song to see at a festival, the song's driving happiness and Janssen's quick drumming really fueled the high-paced jam reminiscent of Fela Kuti and at times, Stevie Wonder. The 11-minute sprint seemed to fly by and as the song came to a saunter and the crowd began also, once again, slow their pace. As if, after just an hour, everyone in attendance were Pavlov's Dogs to Akron/Family's crescendo/decrescendo puppeteering of pace. For the final minutes of the Set closing "Everyone will Shine.", Akron lent a helping hand down the slide before the song he song calmly faded into the acapella final chorus of "The sun will shine And I won't hide. Sun will shine. I won't hide.Sun will shine And I, I won't hide." The trio wrapped it up with an encore of "Crickets". True to its name, it closed out the night in fitting fashion. Nice and easy.
Observing fans and curious attendees upon their exit and listening to chatter as the lone taper in attendance broke down, people were satisfied. They were happy. They were relaxed. A rare reprieve from the high-paced dub/reggae or jamband that frequents Ithaca, Akron/Family maintained a constant force throughout the evening in Ithaca. Not by strong-arming its fans into getting loaded and dancing their asses off, rather Akron/Family's force coming in forms of passive resistance, masked mind-control or multidimensional disorientation.
Akron/Family is currently about to wrap up their US tour in the Midwest with Jeffrey Lewis and Slaraffenland before embarking overseas for some European dates.

Good lookin' out though.
Caveat emptor y'all, this really is sort of just for the completists..
At the show it was labeled on the merch chalkboard as "New Jamz", and it's just that. If you're expecting Love is Simple II, don't.
I'm down for whatevah
This shit is great, imo...
But, yeah, it's not "Love Is Simple".

"Psychedelic, Folk Rock" sorta scrapes the surface of what they do.
They are on the archive.
The albums are really strong too, especially "Love Is Simple".
don't be afraid you're already dead love is simple akron family (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBy1NUHi1I8#)
umm.... weird folk. Sort of. Kinda like acoustic Dead, with like... i'm not sure. Pastoral. Serene. inventive. But folk based. I donno, they're hard to explain.
THe main thing that I've had exposure to is this extended interview thing they did in some music store or something where they played a bunch of songs, so my perspective is probably not entirely representative.

Damn!
Do us a favor and share those FLACs please...
For sure, soon as I'm able.

http://pitchfork.com/news/40676-akronfamily-announce-new-album/ (http://pitchfork.com/news/40676-akronfamily-announce-new-album/)
Quote from: pitchforkPsych-rock space cases Akron/Family have a new album coming out, and they've given it a mouthful of a title: S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. Dead Oceans will release the LP February 8 in the U.S. and March 14 in the UK, and that's the cover above.
According to a press release, the album was apparently "written in a cabin built into the side of Mount Meakan, an active volcano in Akan National Park, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan" and recorded it in an abandoned train station in Detroit, which sounds like a pretty good place to get killed. Producer Chris Koltay (No Age, Liars, Deerhunter) is quoted as saying, "This album will transcend the internet."

Totally. I heard a couple things in that mp3 that they played @ the Black Cat.
I cannot wait for the record & tour.
Label rep stuffed this in my Inbox just now:
QuoteFinally, after over a month of unanswered emails and text messages, blown deadlines, and pleas to finish and turn in their new album, last week, a large brown cardboard box showed up at the Dead Oceans doorstep. It had "SHINJU TNT" scrawled across the bottom of the box in black magic marker, and the return address read only "AK, Detroit."
Opening it revealed a sincere but poorly made diorama of futurist swirling spaces filled with toy astronauts and dinosaurs, four blown out song fragments on a TDK CDR in a ziplock bag, three pictures, a track list written in crayon, and a typewritten note from Akron/Family. A post-it on the bag declared that the band refused to send the full album to anyone but the vinyl pressing plant, for fear of leaking and possible lost revenues.
From the note and a short video that arrived days later, we've pieced together that the album was written in a cabin built into the side of Mount Meakan, an active volcano in Akan National Park, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. It was recorded in an abandoned train station in Detroit with the blackest white dude we all know, Chris Koltay (Liars, Women, Deerhunter, Holy Fuck, No Age). Chris, on tour after finishing the record, commented: "This album will transcend the Internet."
Akron/Family spent the end of 2009 and half of 2010 exploring the future of sound through Bent Acid Punk Diamond fuzz and Underground Japanese noise cassettes, lower case micro tone poems and emotional Cagean field recordings, rebuilding electronic drums from the '70s and playing them with sticks they carved themselves. Upon miraculous resuscitation of the original AKAK hard drive, the album layers thousands of minute imperceptible samples of their first recordings with fuzzed-out representations of their present beings to induce pleasant emotional feeling states and many momentary transcendent inspirations.
This album is titled S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. We have no idea what that means. Below is a photo of the note found in the brown box delivery with the song list, video, and an mp3 of the song fragments retrieved from the TDK CDR, relics of a new tomorrow and a brighter Akron/Family filled future. These are the beginnings, hell or high water you'll find S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT in stores in the U.S. on February 8, and March 14 in the U.K.
Awesome.
That reminds me, I never did download that Totem improv thing. . .

You should.
btw, according to a tweet (http://twitpic.com/36zyxk) this morning, this is the train station where they recorded the album:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Michigan_Central_Train_Station_Exterior_2010.jpg/800px-Michigan_Central_Train_Station_Exterior_2010.jpg)
That's Michigan Central Station in Detroit. It's abandoned and an unlikely place to record but, who knows?
Check out this shot: flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/shanegorski/2332120968/#)
those pics are pretty nice. doesn't look like a place with great acoustics, but it does look inspiring.

I have not! I was supposed to see them last year in Denver (Quixotes), but had to go back to MN that weekend for my brother's engagement party. My roommate last year is really into them, so she passed some of their music onto me. Really excited for it!
So I mentioned in the Right Now I'm Listening To thread yesterday, the new album "leaked", and on listening to it I was pretty convinced it was a prank or a decoy or something.
So then here's this:

Good cheer to all and best wishes for these happy holidays. Wishing everyone a creative and prosperous new year!
Can't wait to see all you good looking, happy, and healthy people out there on the road this year.We are so excited about our new record, our upcoming tours, and our first ever trip to the moon!
See more below:
Friends, family, and loved ones are going to be hosting listening parties for Shinju TNT all around the US the weekend of Jan 8th. Please come out and join/hang/listen.
If one is in your town, please help spread the word on facebook or twitter, and if there is not one in your town, don't get bummed, get proactive in this new year---->set one up. We still need places in Florida and Maine, and Missoula and Tahoe!
All you need is a stereo, a public place where people can join you, and a copy of the record that we will send you. Even a boombox in a parking deck is cool with us. But everyone has to burn the cd at the end and take a picture of it on fire so there are no leaks. We'll host all the photos : )
If you want to set one up, email us here: shinjutnt@gmail.com

Fletcher has finished the record and it sounds great. He is giving it away for free here: fletcherkaufman.com
And we highly recommend you check it out. Seth and Miles play a little on it and mostly Fletcher is just a gifter outsider music maker.

This is true. There were 3 versions that were labeled 1 through 3 of 6 that were basically noise freakout remixes of the album, then around a week ago there was a leaked version (after the listening party weekend) that was closer to the real thing but sounded really bad and mis-produced and kind of demo-ish.
The real thing sounds really good!
Oh, and...

I think I'll be attending the show here. They're playing a pretty small club, 340 capacity.

Looks like they're really mixing it up with the older material on this tour! That's exciting.
These guys blew my mind last night :beerbang:
Almost missed it as the bartender told me it had been sold out for awhile, went back at showtime and the girl working the door hooked me up with 3 tickets. :mrgreen:
Opening band, Delicate Steve weren't half bad either but in no way prepared me for the mindf#%k that was Akron.
almost forgot that i'm seeing these guys thursday. :crazy:

It was about 11 when they went on here in Boston.
And the opening acts were not worth seeing, imo.
They tweeted before the Detroit show the other night that they had a special guest lined up for that night.
Apparently it was Ryan Vanderhoof (makes sense - he lives in Ann Arbor and played slide guitar on the new album) and they played a set full of really old songs.
Jesus Christ I hope someone taped that show...

nice. that's a good way to roll sometimes. the Montreal show and the NY show I listened to leaned pretty heavily on the new album. you should definitely dig into their back catalog now, starting with Love Is Simple.

I took a bunch of acid too :police:
noo, you?? :lol:
shit is bonkers.
so, that was pretty amazing. i'm not that versed in all their music, but i managed to jot some of the songs.
when they weren't playing 'songs,' they were making shit tons of noise. screaming, rolling around stage, picking each other up, etc...in general just a freak out :crazy:
unfortunately, i did not see any tapers. sucks too because lincoln hall has great sound. hopefully i just missed em.
here's what i 'knew' in order for the most part with some holes however probably:
2/24/2011 Lincoln Hall - Chicago, IL
River
Island
A AAA O A Way
So it Goes
Say What You Want To
Silly Bears
We All Will

The past two times I have tripped in my apartment I put on their last album while I was peaking. Shit is perfect for psychedelic excursions.

thanks for bringin' em to my attention. I will now have to sit back and listen to their albums then revisit the show so I understand what exactly went down. It was nuts, but I decided not to write a review cause I knew even less than MBW. It would of gone something like "there were dudes on the stage.....then the insanity broke lose." :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

pretty glad i went too. speaking of acid, i thought to myself early on during the show, 'man, these guys have done way too much acid.'
later, it then dawned on me that, 'man, these guys have done just the right amount of acid.'

Yeah it bad. Basically when I first injured it years ago I didn't have health insurance so it just healed itself gonna take me to the doc and hopefully and probably not correctly. right now I can't put any pressure on it but Trip's gonna take me to the doc and hopefully its just ice and painkillers.

so this show starts at 9:00 tonight, but there are not one, but two opening acts :?
one is a house dj, no thanks.
i wonder what time these guys will actually go on...
This weekend in Montreal I think they went on at 11:30 or 12:00.
ooooffff.
It was about 11 when they went on here in Boston.
And the opening acts were not worth seeing, imo.
how was that show? - was thinking of going but was too wiped out from just arriving home from CO. If they started at 11 I wouldn't have made it anyway.

sup yall, had to chime in about the show here in Minneapolis on Friday, 2/25...Great mix of new and old. Couldn't/didn't really keep track of the list in a big single set (venue related?) but def heard Gravelly Mountains, Islands, River, Another Sky, Canopy and all other manner of geography. Shame, didn't see a mic...Self-indulgent but never exclusive, fearlessly creative, felt really good. Friend, if you were still on the fence, GO SEE THIS. :smoke:

How'd you guys get hooked up with such a dope pad for these shows? Must have had a friend in the city?
All credit goes to Igbo.
Saturday we had the Bieber suite.
That's the way to do a show, straight pimpin'!

I liked Philly better just because of the vibe of being in a bar and 20 feet from the stage. Bowery was a real nice spot for sure though. I need to relisten but I think the middle section of NYC (the only part they really mixed up between the two) may have been better with Raise The Sparks in there...
Raise the Sparks was awesome but I LOVED the Gravelly jam @ Philly.
Also, this:

If our quality of crowd was in that quantity of people, Philly would have exploded with the pressure of the awesome.
Which brings up another thing.
Our view for NYC was prime and the sound was good but... being up close at Philly was primo. It definitely colored my experience such that I couldn't really compare fairly until I sat down and listened to the Philly show today.
Also, my tape smokes.
the We All Will opener in NY was a nice touch, especially after just stumbling upon that Christchurch youtube.

Big ups to Hicks for giving me a free Akron/Family ticket for tonight's show (he went to the coast :|). Meeting up with J.Phisman in a few hours....Not sure if I will even make it to see them though, JP told me there were 4 (!) openers.....I'll take 5 bands for a Sunday Hardcore matinee, but 8:00 ticket means Akron is not coming on at least until 11 or midnight.... :|

woah.. I missed that...
Gonna spin it @ 45 after Blood On the Tracks is done.
Reallyu good show last night.....They did not come on until 12:30 so I only stayed for 45 minutes, but it was dope. Saw three other bands, Delicate Steve also had some really cool parts, I dug it. Good times for sure. I liked this better than the last Akron show I saw, better venue, killer sound. We were dead center in the balcony with 4 speakers about 8-10 feet from our faces, it was sick. Thanks again Hicks!
Also worth noting is that while Delicate Steve played last night, Seasick Steve is playing on Wednesday at the same venue! They gave me a free ticket last night (even though I will be in NYC)...

Going to the Denver show tonight if I can knock a paper and study guide out! Doesn't seem like it should be a problem if they're on the stage later in the night :beerbang:
Don't worry about them coming on late. They even give Prince a run for his money. Saturday night they came on at 12:30. I bet it's earlier on a weeknight, but still....whatever the time, they're worth the wait....
This could go along with today I hate thread, but I'm actually the dumbest person alive. Got there too late and will call was closed. I partially blame it on my friend... But i still can't believe the rookie move I just pulled. :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:

Interesting description on this torrent... I like it.
Quotetrying to track an akron / family show is like trying to eat soup with a fork
so apologies if i haven't got this exactly right (and any help with identifying track 13 very gratefully received)
though it may be more a matter of opinion than fact
where one song ends and another begins is an entirely subjective call
what is without question is that live they are a wild and unpredictable ride
joyous, chaotic, genius, hypnotic, peaceful, cacophonous, trippy
and all those things in each song
a lot of bands talk about the audience being 'part of the show'
but at an akron / family outing it's indisputable
this is a band that demands your attention and your participation
but very much NOT in the manner of courtney cox dancing on stage with bruce springsteen...
see them if you get a chance
whether you love it or hate it, you'll never forget it
enjoy

That is insane.
Been obsessed with these guys as well as Megafaun the last month or so. Never been a huge fan of folk-type stuff, but both bands really grabbed my attention.
I listened to 'The Cosmic Birth' today - totally misjudged it the first time. I liked it much more this time around than I did the first time. Not that I didn't like it the first time, but it had me rockin' today. I was blasting it loud on the way to Texas.
Love this song:

I'm 99% sure that's the same price I paid to see 'em in Toronto in Feb but could be different in the NY market.
Shit... I'm seeing these guys this week.

nice. any tapers around?
I did not tape nor did anyone else, I'm afraid.
I was too busy rocking the fuck out.
Energy was really high. Those dudes put on a serial show. Talked with Miles after the show, he remembered that I liked the Blockley show over the Bowery last fall and asked heat I thought of last night. I told him it was killer.

Seems like a shorter than normal setlist, must have been some serious jams.

I think they they are getting better at blending their noise, rock, folk, & jamming into a coherent live sound.
When you see a '>' in the setlist there is actually a jam and a transition (the transition into So It Goes being the most direct and abrupt) and these make up a fair bit of the music being made onstage.

Would have loved to have gone, but I spent entirely too much money the previous week on a far less energetic, innovative, and awesome band.
Tis the season to be thrifty.
Next time they come around, I'm there.

Agreed. Heard better, but heard worse. The tracking's a little wacky too, but I'm not complaining. Especially if people who aren't even familiar with their songs are getting out and taping them.
As usual, there's some fun banter in there too.
BTW, this is great and I can't wait til someone gives me a reason to use it:

Been on a YUGE Akron kick as of late.
I've listened to 'The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju' literally at least 3 times over the weekend.
I can't get enough of these guys. They're just so good!

Akron/Family
The Drunken Unicorn
Atlanta, GA
January 14th, 2012
I had been anticipating this show for quite some time. I also took the liberty of not listening to any of the current tour, so I could enter into the show with fresh ears so to speak. I had peeked at a few of the setlists and seen some diversity in terms of how they rotated the opening songs. The Drunken Unicorn is a shit-hole, and it was my first visit as an Atlanta native to this venue. I'd go back depending on the band, but more on that later. After some dinner, my girlfriend and I headed over to the venue, and we got in just after doors opened. The opening band, The Bad Weather California, was pretty good in my opinion. I'd describe them as modern psychedelic surf rock. I dug it.
A quick gear change, and then it's game time.
Akron takes the stage, and the crowd breaks into a birthday chant for Dana. Very cool. The band continues to tune up, and get the sound right before beginning the set. This would be a pattern for the whole show. Whoever was running the soundboard was giving out a seminar about amateur hour 101. The whole show I could see their vocal monitors were fucked. It hurt the harmonies in some parts of the show. Overall though, it was a fucking phenomenal show. The energy of these guys is so refreshing. The segues were amazing too, and the improvisation can only be defined as speed jazz. I sat with my jaw on the floor for most of the show. Everything was quite impressive.
Setlist:
Noise intro ->
Gravelly Mountains Of The Moon ->
River ->
Island ->
Island narration/jam ->
A AAA O A Way >
So It Goes ->
Another Sky >
No Space in this Realm >
Everyone is Guilty >
Silly Bear
Encore:
drums -> Fuji II > Light Emerges
Overall, one of the better shows I've seen in a while even with sound problems. I highly recommend catching these guys.

Blew the place apart. More thoughts when i find my brain.
so, the show was serial from the start, the opening just about knocked everyone on their ass, and continued from there.
i gotta run out today, and dont have time to track my recording out, and i was hoping to get some help from natronzero, rj, whoever else wouldnt mind helping me track this out. it is fairly standard setlist wise, but i want to make sure i/we get it right.
here is a whole file mp3. if anyone wants to throw their version of timings at me i would appreciate it.

Sound is great.
Right off the bat, I'm really digging that the intro is different than what I saw in Atlanta. I might even label it as an intro jam into Gravelly
I have to go to lunch. Here's what I've got up to the encore:

Yeah, your recording sounds really nice, and this show is HOT.
I really dig the little minor-key variation they do on the "prove me real" line of Gravelly. I don't think I've ever heard (or at least noticed) them do that before. It sounds kind of planned though.
Rj's setlist looks spot-on, and I would call the encore something like:
(81:20) Fuji II >
(86:19) Light Emerges

Sounds mint!
great show last night. really enjoyed Bad Weather California. had a ton of fun with akron/family. Beachland Ballroom is a relatively small place, with a standard stage... but both bands played in the middle of the floor this night. first time i had seen this since Cornmeals amps quit working and they encored in the center of the floor. but anyways, people surrounding the band 360degrees, seemed like a somewhat professional/band approved three piece rotating video setup, and one still photographer. look forward to good visual things to come. the "dance" they taught us was interesting and fun, and the guitarist kind of purposefully kicked me twice during some point in the middle of the set (not 100% sure on all song titles).
warning: amateur phone pictures commencing.

double drums + mini gong -> Everyone is Guilty
great time was had, there was I think two extended "freak out" moments where they were all on their keyboards/computers, that I just didn't think worked.
however, the Star Spangled Banner guitar solo / mic in the mouth solo from the bass player, was classic.
Woah great pictures. What an awesome "stage" setup to see those guys on.
Looks like a hell of a good time! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm usually pretty good at paying attention to Beachland's emails, but I guess I missed the one announcing this show. I don't believe I've been there since we caught that Mike show a couple (few?) years ago.

Sun Araw is playing the Blockley tomorrow, so 4 dudes (2 sax, trumpet, guitar) sat in from post-crowd Another Sky thru Silly Bears. Also the drummer and sax player from Bad Weather California for the Another Sky freak out.

sat down to watch this with my cup of coffee but did not notice the 25 second video time :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
looking forward to the others as I'm still not completely convinced on these guys...
What was the set?
What a tease!!!
lol sorry I was pressed for time and wasn't even sure what I was doing so I went with that one. I did get a solid 10 minute clip of Everyone Is Guilty plus a few others, I'll get those up soon. Another Sky had a lot of extra oompf with all those dudes on stage, I did a clip of that I think.
set was basically the same as all the others minus the second part of Gravelly and of course the Ed Is a Portal>Light Emerges encore.
Bad Weather California played a fun set plus a local Philadelphia band Dangerous Ponies or something.

According to a tweet from Dead Oceans (ak/ak's label) it was members of Sun Ra Arkestra and West Philly Orchestra that sat in last night. (Sun Araw is a one-man electronic type act.)

I know I've read bad things about that place recently. I think nyctaper was hating on it on ts.com... Hopefully ine of those guys was there.
I saw two sets clamped to the support beams up close.
We left twice to go back to the bar during the openers.
No air in that place and just PACKED in their with hipsters and mouthbreathers.
Ak went on after 12.

Lotta guitar issues last night.
During River, it cut out before the intricate line starts and during Everyone is Guilty.
No guitar for about two minutes and he switched to a much louder one.
i have to admit i'm not a huge fan of the live arrangement of 'light emerges.'
not that i want or expect it to sound just like the album, but the album version is just so full of life and triumphant, and the live is.......not.
the 'laying out on summer nights' through the end is still incredible live, however.
Can someone point me in the direction of a "must hear" show or string of songs? Mostly I feel like I am hearing a lot of percussion and.....noise.

Wow, I'm totally the opposite.
When ST II first came out, that was the only song on the album I thought was pretty disappointing, and a little corny. It took hearing live versions, and then especially seeing it live, for that song to really click with me. And now I love it.

yes, very much the opposite. i dig the 'corny' lyrics too though. they are blissed out hippie dudes who dig nature, and when i let go of my own ego, thats what i am too. (whoa)
and the music? damn. it some of the best shit to hit my ears in a long time. its a journey. i believe this is why they encore with it. i just wish it were a bit more true to the 'original.'

Well, percussion and noise are definitely big elements of their live shows. So I don't think that's going to be completely avoidable if that's what's turning you off.
3/3/2010 (http://www.nyctaper.com/?p=2596) has a lot of early versions of newer songs, plus some older ones, and has a lot of little jams that don't really exist on any other recording. I find it a little more exploratory and musical than a lot of shows that came afterwards, after they had sort of solidified their current show pattern.
2/21/2007 (http://www.archive.org/details/akak2007-02-21) is a nice earlier show, different incarnation of the band, and features some tunes they may never play again (RIP Running, Returning :cry:). Sounds like a really intimate show too.
10-3-2008 (http://www.archive.org/details/akak2008-10-03.flac16) is a personal favorite of mine, just a fucking monster, but there's admittedly a shitload of noise and percussion especially after They Will Appear and at the end of the show.
They've done some really interesting live-in-the-studio sets that might fit the bill. I posted a few of those a while back, but I'm sure the links are dead by now. I'll see if I can find those and put em up here.
ETA: I think just about any well-recorded version of River could convert most anybody.
ETA II: Links fixed.

MITB sound like a bunch of juvenile douchebags.
Pretty much.
And their sound is painful.
eta some tweets:
@ryanpitchfork: The boys in @akronfamily winning this MITB drama with total grace and humility. Who sucks mule dicks now?
@akronfamily: Seriously, the fact that @pitchforkmedia has posted a video of M.I.T.B. at 924 gilman circa '97 makes it easier to take
@doggoneblog: No one is knocking Tarantino for his artistic reverent homage to past films. cc @akronfamily @pitchforkmedia

I thought it was interesting. They had a few tunes that caught my attention. But I'd also say they were one dimensional with their sound.
Too surf-y.
I liked them but they were definitely too treble-y
Checked out Love is Simple and it hooked me. The only other thing I'd listened to of theirs was S/T II, which I didn't like as much at first listen, but I might have to revisit it. Listening to MBW's pull of the Chicago show now, I need to see these guys live. [/blog]

We didn't catch them in DC so I went ahead and bought their records.
I like the records.
New one is coming soon:

they were quite meh-y. lead singer dude didnt shut up the whole night too.
the shift of energy/sound coming off the stage as soon as akron walked on was incredible.
also, they are from denver.

::joins the fray::
sweet shirt, murf.
I haven't read this thread in a few days, but I saw where T had posted a pic with his new heady threads on their FB page, and I noticed all the drama and shit. Was the band
Man is the Bastard (or whatever they're called) the first ones to say something about Akron "ripping off" their logo? I thought I read somewhere on their FB that they had posted something abrasive and vulgar, and AF deleted it. I've never even heard of 'Man is the Bastard' until today when I read that stupid shit.
I'm sure everyone feels the same, but this is all a little ridiculous and has gone way too far.
This post, among others, really made me :?
Quote
you guys should burn every one of your stupid, faggoty band's t-shirts. FUCK you.
All the death threats, homophobic slurs, etc over a fucking skull logo? Morons.
I'll admit, it
might have a good idea to to just acknowledge that it's the same logo, but it's still not at all necessary and although they didn't acknowledge it, imo they did nothing wrong here. Even though the skulls were identical, a skull is a pretty common thing to use as a logo.
It's just a matter of time until Bobby raises hell about them sometimes using the lightning bolt that's similar to the GD bolt. They need to cut that shit out, or at least ask the people if they can rip their shit off. :roll:

Funny you mention this. When I saw that bolt, I always assumed that it was used much as Miles describes the use of the MITB skull. It's an homage and also a code to fans of GD the ak/ak is one of us. I like that.

I really like Akron/Family, I'd say they are within my top 3 favorite bands I've been introduced to within the last couple years -- Thanks to you guys.
But to say their level of musicianship, especially regarding improvisation is at a higher level than Phish (even now) is just silly to me.
Their studio albums are what really get me, especially
Love is Simple. I saw them live, enjoyed it greatly and will def try to see them again when they come through. However, I was much more impressed with their songwriting approaches, use of FX/looping, vocal harmonies, unique instrumentation, and ability to create such a big sound with such few people than I was their improvisational skills.

That's my point. What improvisational skills? They play the songs straight forward. Your inability to admit that another band does something better than Phish proves my point. Phish sucks at improvising. Akron improvises a lot more than Phish these days. And they improvise better than Phish. And you can't even admit that. It's always "phish is the best band in the world" or something of that ilk. It's okay to say you like how Phish sounds more than Akron, I get that. But don't confuse your love of Phish with skill set. Cause its not even close anymore.
Please stop talking about Phish in this thread.

No prob. :-)
Someone that knows the person who taped it made a comment on one of Ak's FB posts that her friend was about to put this up.
Maybe she could put you in touch?
This says the guy's name is Joshua Smith: http://ia600800.us.archive.org/18/items/akak2012-01-15.akronfamilymercylounge1-15-2012/akak2012-01-15.akronfamilymercylounge1-15-2012_meta.xml (http://ia600800.us.archive.org/18/items/akak2012-01-15.akronfamilymercylounge1-15-2012/akak2012-01-15.akronfamilymercylounge1-15-2012_meta.xml)
ETA: Just noticed that last bit is not just dead air. They do Love and Space starting at [94:15].

It sounds good to me. I like the other stuff I have from them, too.
Also, the record geek in me wants to collect everything from from ak/ak's label.
Officially ordered.

FWIW, Insound has it for $14.98.
They always have a 15% sale going on right now. (febstorewide15)

Also, it's only $12 at http://www.midheaven.com/

The mantra of Love and Space came in very useful today. Well, that and "fuck you"...both at different times...but still...gotta love a good mantra. Thanks akron family.
I sometimes find it useful to use the guided meditation of Island.

QuoteHello friends!
We have been hiding out for months now in volcanic caves in the middle of snow storms, pecan ranches along west Texas border towns, borrowing kids rehearsal spaces in Athens Georgia, and writing on top of our friends guitar shop in Montreal.
It's amazing how time has passed so quickly dreaming up a new vision record for 2013 and we are almost there.
In order to finish funding the record we decided to create a special, hand made, hand stamped (by us!) limited edition double cd. This is an edition of 1,000 and when it's gone, it's gone. It's available HERE
In a way, it is a nice snapshot of the last year. One half is a live recording from the Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta from early 2012. A wavy wild showcase from the tail end of our Shinju touring. vibez introduce shards of songs both recent and old, exploding from Happy Birthday and disintegrating into songs old and new. It was a wild and youthful show and we are excited to share it with you.
The flip side is from the end of 2012. A direct injection of experimentation, electro fantasy improv worlds - hanging, waiting, floating, standing, sitting, breathing, folding into itself similarly but from a different planet then the live shows. Good and bad sounds emerge from the field of all possibility to swallow each other and move on in differing simultaneties bright, bold and washed out. Snapshots of alternative band selves living only in that moment the new age soundtrack version of the bmbz. A new potentiality. A new summer that is known only from winter. A new unsettled possibility. A frozen future landscape. A completely thawed jungle distance seen from a top a mountain in a blinding hot rain. Confusion and happiness.
Anyways, you start to get the point. This handmade is served up in raw opposition and joyful cognitive dissonance. A rock band planet forced to piece together remaining technologies from decades past to create a new working language to feed the upcoming centuries.
Winter is coming. Summer is coming. Thanks all! Look forward to seeing u on the road in 2013.
sold out? wtf. must be a glitch.

I've never ripped vinyl before but, I have noticed that some rips on torrent sites list the program used in the info section. Sorry, not much help as it is a research point.
Hmmm. I've seen people use Garage Band too, but wasn't sure if there was a preferred method.
I've only messed around with Audacity and the whatever the Sony software is that came with my turntable. Audacity was easier to use by far, and after a little practice the sound wasn't bad.

well so i finally got to side D of Shinju TNT. ive come to the conclusion that i will i guess be listening to both speeds(obviously) each time i spin this record. Both 45/33 are awesome.

I couldn't muster the $$ for a painting as it won't play on my turntable and I've already blown my allowance on records that will.

Dear Friends,
Due to some unforeseen complications with the manufacturing of the ATL <2> ELP Disks, we'll regrettably not be able to ship them until this Friday December 21st.
We feel awful about the delay and want to try to make it up to you, so what we'd like to do is invite you to be our guest at one show of your choice sometime in the next year (or thereabouts.. sometimes it takes us a while to get to everyone's town.. we know :)
....
By buying this kind of limited run release from us you are directly supporting our music making. We can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
Thank you, so very much, and we look forward to singing to you in person before we know it.
With Love,
Akron/Family.
I had totally forgotten when that was supposed to ship anyway!
^^^That's awesome. No way they should have to do that but they obviously appreciate their fans. I had the same complications email come from MMW and they didn't give me shit. They attributed it to the Beatles box set problems and it has set back a few vinyl pressings.
Oh, shit.
I just got that email, too.
CANNOT WAIT FOR ANOTHER TOUR!
we win!
I'm pretty sure this is a new one to circulation:

Ditto. Just was there in my mail slot last night.
That's what I mean, I'm still waiting on my copy, I presume it might not have shipped because I ordered later.
ELP is pretty cool on first spin. Time will tell as far as relistening value, but so far I dig it.
ATL...
Great show obviously, but 2 second gaps between songs on a live release, the exact same recording of which is available on Archive for free (with 2 extra songs), is sloppy and irritating.
Oh well, at least we get a free show out of it...
that doesn't sound like the same recording on archive to me.
the one on archive kinda sucks, and i think this sounds pretty good.

The taper is the same, so I'm assuming it's the same recording and they cleaned it up. Though I admit I haven't listened to the one on Archive in a while.

No doubt.
Got through disc I of ATL 2 ELP. Meh. To be honest, I'd rather just given $20 to make another kick ass album on vinyl. Hopefully disc II is much better.

QuoteFrom Seth Olinsky:
The album started with visions of large monumental sounds inspired by Heizer and Turrell; American works on a grand scale, monuments, dirty hands and an epic American masculinity. Dust, Stone, Sky, Earth.
These broad, bold strokes would come to pass but not quite as expected.
A Sci Fi aesthetic narrative emerged. Tackling distant pasts and future humanism, the pain and idiocy of our contemporary culture. How to deal with it open heartedly? The boredom, the sadness and speed. The plots within plots of Dune mirrored in many layers of sound. Creating 3D sonic atmospheres that our songs and singers inhabit.
Our story, a story, all stories. Told in verses, in underground language, in sub frequencies. Not audible, only felt, intuited, imagined in some deepest psychic space that you are yet to know. A strange story. Of the future, of yourself. Of everyone. We are all we are, only this and yet we move forward. Along some line to somewhere. And who knows?
QuoteFrom Miles Seaton:
As with other Akron/Family records the Idiomatic perspective shifts restlessly. From Shamanic hypno-mantras to Noise-damaged Soul anthems to North african street frenzy, from Droning Microtonal Balladry to modular synthesizer destruction to Lynchian Doo-Wop and back again. The sound is propulsive and driven by it's physicality, and a disciplined acknowledgement of Lineage. Akron/Family is here, with drums and guitars like divining rods calling on Sonny Sharrock and Link Wray, on Elvin Jones and John Bonham, on Jimmy Garrison and Aston Barrett. But when we sing we are calling on ourselves, on the deep river of inspiration that connects the whole. We are singing Old Stories. The narrative thread is one of the Desert, that ancient ocean floor, long dried to reveal a barren expanse of scorched fossils. Of Life and Death and Time, of a vision of a people, weary and traumatized - driven from their nobility and sense of purpose to the brink of total nihilism under the lash of information overload. Intelligence giving way to remix culture, nothing to do but blindly live as customers, stumbling, content drunk through the digital bazaar. A bunch of fucking Payers. All of us. The hot wind is blowing hard on us and what is there todo but turn our face to it and sing?
QuoteThere's also a two-page letter from Swans' Michael Gira, who put out early Akron/Family releases on his Young God label. It features hand-written notes he took while listening to Sub Verses. One taste: "Grizzled Beach Boys, fully bearded and flea infested willfully surrendering to the lysergic gas attack. Hold your shriveled ego and watch it unfold like a purple meat-flower in your grubby hand."
"Grizzled Beach Boys, fully bearded and flea infested willfully surrendering to the lysergic gas attack. Hold your shriveled ego and watch it unfold like a purple meat-flower in your grubby hand"
that's fucking brilliant.

I find Torontonians want to be entertained as if they were at home in their living room watching a TV. Montrealers want a unique experience and will help the artist create it. I've lived in both cities and have seen hundreds of shows in each, often catching an artist doing a show in one of the cities and then hitting the next night in the other, and Montreal nearly always seems to host the better show/performance/audience.

Yeah, I have. Was really drunk though. I think they were co-billed with a band called Plants and Animals. I actually had a hotel room just down the hall from them. They didn't want to party with us. Thought we were too crazy (or dangerous) I think.

I find Torontonians want to be entertained as if they were at home in their living room watching a TV. Montrealers want a unique experience and will help the artist create it. I've lived in both cities and have seen hundreds of shows in each, often catching an artist doing a show in one of the cities and then hitting the next night in the other, and Montreal nearly always seems to host the better show/performance/audience.
::better watch what I say before Matt comes in a smacks me::
A bit off topic but have you seen the Besnard Lakes, SF? I was thinking about possibly going to Montreal around my birthday to see them.
Yeah, I have. Was really drunk though. I think they were co-billed with a band called Plants and Animals. I actually had a hotel room just down the hall from them. They didn't want to party with us. Thought we were too crazy (or dangerous) I think.
Ha! Yeah, I don't see them going hard.

Either way...

It's funny - I don't even bother trying to see bands during SXSW for the most part. It sucks that bad downtown during SXSW week. What looks like 6 "shows" by AK/FAM is really six 40 minute sets you may or may not be able to get inside to see.
ugh is it April 30th yet?

i hope rj gets in on the pre-order in time to get the 10"
I really liked it. Love the new direction. Way more tribal and psychedelic than TNT (which I still really dig - spun it last weekend), but at the same time still brings that hard hitting Akron RAWK to it as well. I'm def super excited about seeing how this translates to the live setting.

Fuck that, cancel that other order!!!
Gave the new album a run through earlier today and really the only thing that stuck out to me was how it sounded like Animal Collective. Especially the vocal deliveries, harmonies and reverbs used on them.
I dug the production of it, but the songs didn't do to much for me. I'll definitely have to give it another spin though, wasn't exactly in the mood for that darkness this mornign......

I waited and waited and finally got paid and spent the money.
Now I'm working on cancelling an order because waiting was the right answer.

I think All Tiny Creatures is on the bill for your show. I have one of their records and I dig it.
that song rule, it's the one i want to hear the most on the physical media when it gets here. My favorite lyrics on the album too.
Also, T, if you can't tape, you can't tape. Go and get up front and have an awesome time.

Wowzers. A whole new level tonight.
I gotta get to philly.
So the show last night was pretty incredible.
It was balls out the whole night.
The only slow part was Sometimes I, and even that was real intense.
Miles' vocals were real strong all night.
They ran though almost all of Sub Verses, minus one song, and threw in Light Emerges mid set.
I have an even greater appreciation for the new tunes now no doubt.
M. Geddes Gengras sat in the whole set, and added some more textures, and played bass on the encore while Miles played rhythm.
I did not care for his opening set. Just him on his snyths making beatless sounds.
All Tiny Creatures were ok. Sounded like a beefed up Breakfast Club soundtrack.
I ran into 2 college friends I hadn't seen in years that was extra cool.
Anywho, here is the setlist as I see it, a crappy pic, and a link to dl the whole show if you care to check my work on the setlist....and listen to the show before it goes up on archive.

I've got tickets for this Saturday but will be late, probably around 11:30pm.....when have they been going on? 2 sets or one big one?
The new material sounds great live and Light Emerges is still the best song from the past couple years (from any band).
Kick ass, T-dog. I do love Light emerges, too. Look forward to rocking this on the plane when i head back to MS to get some mosquito bites! :beers:

he stopped there for a sec.
there was a full stop before drums, but i kept it as >, cause like, the silence was part of the seg, you know, man?

:itches arm, wants new 10":
I decided to spend my coin on the vinyl as I needed to replace the warped copy of Set em Wild and of course Sub Verses, which I spun today and it sounds phenomenal.
This time round was way better than the last time I caught them at the Horseshoe I thought. Less percussion jams and distorted shrill screeching, more straight forward rock and concise playing. Similar setlist to what was played in Chicago and leaning heavily on the new album. They played Light Emerges in the encore slot and stretched it out a bit. I love how laid back these guys are, Seth pretty much moved around the crowd without anyone even approaching the guy. He set all their gear up and did the sound check himself.
Opening band Absolutely Free were pretty great too. I tried to grab their LP but the Akron dude had no clue how much they wanted for it. I stopped back at the merch table 2 other times including after the show and still no dice. Oh well, they lost out on a sale.
I think I waited too long to preorder. Noticed a 307 in the middle of my order number. :oops:
Could mean nothing, but regardless I'm worried now.
real nice recording of the Montreal show:

He ordered from insound, iirc, rather than via the band/label.
Just got my shipping notice. Still doesn't tell me if I made it time for the 10" :crazy:
Friday's showtime is 6pm?? luckily there's 2 openers but even then we're going to be hard pressed to make it in time, have to drop the kids off at my parents and that's all the way on the other side of town

I would have loved a 6:00 pm start, I had to get up at 6:30 am to catch my flight. Then a birthday party as soon as I flew into town on 4 hrs sleep. :tte:

I was surprisingly alert for my daughter's party. Still buzzing from the AK show I guess.

That would be unclear.
But he's onstage for the whole show and he brings a lot to the sound (which I like.)
the new stuff rips, and agreed the new guy helped fill out the sound, but would have liked maybe one throwback song in there

Ouch
I am sitting in my hotel in Durham, North Carolina. It's still raining.
Tonight was another killer show.
Same setlist. Different set.
Had a lot of fun. Chatted at length with Phil Cook of Megafaun. Met his kid, too. He told me stories of when they toured with Akron/Family and played a frat house gig til 5am. He also mentioned that they'd covered Icculus together.
Other things to report:
Miles is looking to record a solo record.
Seth is trying to do a fall Cy Dune tour, maybe Joe Westerlund (Megafaun) on drums and he's looking at Richmond.
More to report if you care or I remember it.
Listening to Saturday's "Light Emerges".
Damn.
I think I have a bad battery. First two nights my rig shut down during Akron/Family's set. I lost a couple minutes of music each time.
Tonight I did not have that problem.
:clap: :clap:
thats all awesome stuff to hear.
Fucking pumped. Tonight. :wtu:
Going to see em in salt lake in late may...cannot wait! Also, thanks for our roaming reporters on tour, y'all.

Pretty cool performance, and it happened about 5 minutes from my house...
QuoteAkron/Family pulled up in their van in a North Austin shopping mall parking lot and unloaded their gear. Running power from the van's cigarette lighter into a single Fender amp, the boys plugged in and ripped through a version of "Sand Talk," a cut off their brand new record Sub Verses, which is out now on Dead Oceans.

Tomorrow Night!
:crazy:
that was fucking cool.
So in the end, I didn't go to show but I have a funny story. Gave my tickets up to these two french strippers I know. Figured they might like to get down to some family sounds, they also brought one of their friends as I had purchased three tickets. I tell them it will be a "psychedelic show", so they decide to eat a bunch of mushrooms. Keep in mind, they have never heard band. The following conversation ensued later on that evening.
- so you make it to the show?
yeah
- and.....you guys had a good time?
good time? what the hell was that?
- what do you mean?
well, that wasn't fucking music....it was like all noises and shit!
- did you guys trip?
well, duh!
- so were you too high?
no, but I still don't understand what I saw and I don't want to waste another second of my life trying. Don't ask me to see a show with you EVER! You know, you're into some real fucked up shit buddy!
- uh, OK.
i give that story a C-
maybe c+ with the curve. :-P

Fuck yeah.
Friday show was awesome.
Identical setlist to Asheville/Durham/Atlanta, plus a really fun and goofy Ed to finish the encore.
I honestly didn't expect When I Was Young to be such a show stopper live. Holy crap...
I'm loving the arena-rockness of the little individual solos they're each doing (MGG after Way Up, Seth's freakout shred before Boredom, Drumz after Boredom, and Miles' bass freakout thing before Samurai).
Just like the last time I saw them at Red 7, the only thing that sucked about the show was the venue. There were some technical issues with the sound at points (hey, it happens), but the worst thing was that it's a club with indoor and outdoor stages, and they had booked an incredibly obnoxious and LOUD rap-rock band on the outdoor stage and any time someone opened the door between the two areas (often) or Ak played a quiet part, they'd be nearly drowned out by douche-rap bullshit. Shitty, greedy booking, and really disrespectful IMO.
The guys were really cool and really focused though, and even cracked a couple of good natured jokes about the situation (Miles before the encore "We'd like to thank Turquiose Jeep for showing up tonight and helping us out with some backup vocals...(laughs)...I'm just so happy right now!").
Anyway, show ruled, and Red 7 still sux.

I'm down, been putting off grabbing that for awhile now.
I dunno, Pie.
If <bmbz> doesn't do it for you, they might not be your cup.
It's most fans undisputed top album of theirs.
It does change a bit. Some of the latter bits include Phil Cook on piano.
See, I really enjoyed the show I saw. I'm gonna power through the whole album before passing judgement, but the wife wasn't having it. Gonna have to be another time.

these old guys out trying to get laid were at a club, like where douchey people go to dance and buy $30 martini's.
amid other club bangers being spun by the DJ was Everyone is Guilty.

Uh oh, you got <bmbz>'d!
So basically the story is this:
A couple months prior to when S/T II:The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT was released, the band and some friends started leaking dramatically remixed versions of the album. I think they did it partially as a noise experiment, partially as a comment on the nature of releasing material in the digital age, and mostly to freak out the squares. I believe there are a couple of pages in this very thread of several of us freaking out as the whole thing developed.
<bmbz> is basically a compilation of some of the cooler mixes from that. Kind of a prank that became a product.
If I remember correctly, the first side is the most abrasive part of it, and there are some pretty cool, more spacy remixes later in the album. It's been a while since I've listened to it though. My lady also got pretty irritated when I first played it, and it's not something I'm often in the mood for either.
Hey, if nothing else, Waterloo has a very liberal return policy!
You should come by and get a growler anyway...

i was watching a terrible movie called 'Hall Pass (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480687/)'
these old guys out trying to get laid were at a club, like where douchey people go to dance and buy $30 martini's.
amid other club bangers being spun by the DJ was Everyone is Guilty.
i was all, 'wtf?'
:? How weird. I don't know if I want to seek that out or not.
So I borrowed my friends little Tascam recording device for the AK show in Portland last week. First time recording a show but I think it was a pretty good setup clamped on the balcony in a small 350 capacity room. Hicks and some other friends were on hand to witness the weirdness. They're hard to describe or sell anyone on but damn I do enjoy this band. I'm not familiar enough to track out my recording though so if anyone is capable and willing it would be appreciated.
Here's the dropbox link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21489209/Akron%3AFamily%205-22.zip
5/22/13 - Mississippi Studios - Portland, OR
ETA: Crap I just realized that the last song got split into a new track somehow. There must be some way to join them together....

Was prob still upping when u tried, link is working now. Thanks! :rawk:
Awesome.
Gonna grab it tomorrow.
i'm still having trouble with that link. it won't download on my end.
moving now.
eta:
a few spots of clipping. can that be fixed? i dont really know how to use the envelope tool.
its only a spot of about 10 seconds....probably just leave it? or negative amplify it?
You could dial it back but it'll still be distorted...
So my recording sucks....
Do you think it's because I had the recording volume too high or because I used the built in mics? Probably both. I dialed it down to about 15 when the set started but it was real loud in there.
On a side note, I've picked up both Love is Simple and Shinju on vinyl since that show and hot damn they sounds amazing!

It doesn't suck, but yeah the levels are a bit blown out. Probably a combination of those issues. What kind of recorder was it?
I said I would work on it and I will, just got a little swamped in life.
In other news, new swag is available on their site.
Ah right on. No worries.
It was one of these.
An external mic would probably be a good idea huh?
Like I said, I did adjust the levels when the show started, but you know these guys can be all over the place, volume-wise. I guess it's better to err on the side of being quieter?

THanks, I have been on the merch site hundreds of times at this point and missed it everytime. :|
Pretty pumped to give this a listen.
And yes a tour is needed seeing as being a new daddy made me miss the last philly show.
Got the Lightning Records quarterly zine plus 4 tapes in the mail today. New Cy Dune plus some other stuff I'm psyched to check out.
All the tapes come with download codes, so I got that going for me, but i'm planing on building a new vintage set up, so a new tape deck is in the works.
My 20 year old Sony deck is a pos.

Hey guys! I have searched around online for some kind of Akron/Family group or forum & just recently found this here thread. I poured over it & knew I'd found some fellow AK freaks. I have signed up just now so I can be connected with you guys. I have been collecting AKFAM music for the last few years and have stuff I'd like to share & of course I'm always looking for more.
I also make AK stickers that I would also like to share with my fellow freaks, so let me know if you're into that sort of thing.
Peace,
Michael

Hey Terry! Yep, that's me! You got a dropbox? Need to get you that Wooden Wand.
Yeah I missed Dana this time around too. Atlanta was the closest show & that was just too far for me this time.
Totally stoked to be connected. Love to meet up at an AK show one day!
very cool, good to have you here. we don't trade official releases here, but i just noticed it is up on bandcamp, so I can definitely throw $7 bucks at it, in fact I will do that now. http://lightningrecords.bandcamp.com/

Welcome to the paug, man. mbw tells it true, we do not permit trading of commercially released material here but the offer is kind.
I recently acquired a show that doesn't circulate... I was asked to sit on it though. :-(
Waiting on the statute of limitations to expire before I spread it around.

Yeah man, welcome.
And terry, I am super jellus of those tapes...you know I won't buy a car without a tape deck!
Ask and ye shall receive: I got them to add akak to relisten.net (which is basically a front-end for Archive streaming).
http://relisten.net/akron-family
Hey guys!
Firstly:
@mbw, @Bobafett, @rowjimmy, thanks for the warm welcome!
Secondly:
I totally get not trading official releases, and I respect that. I do everything I can to support AKAK and side projects & family related bands.... I always buy something at the merch table when I go to a show (sometimes its even something I already have!)
Anyway, I made an assumption that Terry's LIGHTNING package was shorted, because I got the Kickstarter subscription with the virtual version & the Wooden Wand was included in my package. So Terry, if I am wrong about that & you do have the money to spring for the WW album, I highly recommend it.... but before buying you might want to check what your deal was to be sure you weren't inadvertently shorted.
Thirdly:
STICKERS! Who wants 'em? Get in touch & lemme know what you need!
Finally:
@rowjimmy - I also have an amazing AK soundboard from a couple of years ago that I was told not to trade/share (the show features some very special guests) I've been wondering how long I would need to wait before it was safe to release it into the wild without getting my source in trouble! I wonder if it's the same show?
So glad I found y'all!
Seriously, hit me up for some stickers, it makes me very happy to share these!!
Much love,
Michael
I'm betting it's the same show...
It needs some minor re-tracking but then I'm sure it'll find its way into the world.
Welcome TNT and thanks for the share RJ.

Are these guys still a band?
It's been three years since the last album and they don't appear to be touring.
From wiki, so grain of salt and such...
QuoteSet After their December 2013 tour of Japan , Akron/Family decided to call it quits to focus on personal side projects. Leaving the door open for a possible Reunion in the future ,meanwhile front man Seth Olinsky started his own band Cy Dune and his own record company Lightning records with a friend. Dana Janssen , primarily drums started Dana Buoy and Miles Seaton primarily has been touring Europe promoting his solo album.

Bummer, hopefully they come back.
I'd hold the salt. That's pretty much the deal.
Never say never, tho.
New Dana Buoy coming out in Feb - http://www.brooklynvegan.com/dana-buoy-releasing-new-album-ice-glitter-gold-stream-a-track/

They played a couple shows with Seth's band last month.
I went to Goodwill today and Cast A Net came on the radio about a minute after I walked in. After that it went back to the normal pop radio shit they usually have playing. Kinda odd.
