Tonight Tonight in Music: Linda and Ron's Dad
Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Linda and Ron's Dad, Pontius Pilots, Flexions, Studley Buffkins, Nominal I
(Chop Suey) Tonight's showcase of Fourthcity talent and friends is headlined by Linda and Ron's Dad (the kind of play-on-words band-name idea that just reeks of bong smoke), which began as a series of sampledelic cassettes produced by Tyler Swan of Foscil/Truckasauras and Derek Bourcier of Ghostbait. Each cassette plundered from a single iconic source, such as David Bowie or the Mothers of Invention, reassembling familiar snatches of sound into popping, hissing, and warped hiphop beats. Their hazy instrumentals are now abetted by the outré MC stylings of Specs One, which should make for a fine live show. Rounding out the stacked bill are the jazzy improvisations of Pontius Pilots (Victor Noriega on piano and eR DoN on the MPC sampler), the dank dub punk of Flexions (Devon Welch of Past Lives and Robin Stein), the Game Boy hackery of Studley Buffkins (Ryan Trudell of Foscil/Truckasauras), and the laid-back beatwork of Nominal I.
