Ah yes...well, it was a bit of an odd gig in the end as it happens. It was put on by my friend Carl and it was really, really badly attended. I think there were maybe 2 actualy paying customers. So there was me, Carl, two friends of ours plus the two paying punters plus the bands plus the soundman...
Motor Ghost played first (Alex Neilson + Ben Reynolds) and they were really, really ace. They did a guitar/drums free type thing but they threw elements of traditional song in there which was ace. Arrington De Dionyso joined them for a bit and they did a bit of three way improv which was nice.
De Dionyso did a bit of solo Bass Clarinet which was decent...I quite liked it anyway, and then Ignatz played. His set sounded quite murky though and he only played 10-15 minutes or so...it was alright. Then De Dionyso came back and did some throat singing into the bell of his clarinet and into a snare drum which was interesting.
I enjoyed it but Motor Ghost were especially ace. It's a bit hard to judge the others because it was all a bit casual...sort of "ok, do you want to play for a bit?", "shall we play together for a bit?" kind of thing. I'd like to see a full Ignatz set to judge properly.
