- Sat Feb 13 stereo presents: ALAN COURTIS & AARON MOORE "ARGENTINE HOME MOVIE CAVALCADE" + Dougal Marwick, Fritz Welch, (http://www.peeesseye.com) Shane Connolly, Jer Reid "ARGENTINE HOME MOVIE CAVALCADE" 7pm Alan Courtis & Aaron Moore return to the UK for more of their explosive collaborative live shows following their first tour and album together in February 2008. This time they’ll be providing a live soundtrack to Argentine Home Movie Cavalcade, the 2008 film by Sergio Subero and Sergio Brauer that compiles a selection of Argentine Home-Movies mainly from the 70’s. Based on amateur found footage from unknown authors in the 1970s, the film brings a portrait of Argentinian collective memory from those years and is presented with a live music performance oriented to experimental drone, psychedelic and abstract noise and free rock improvisation by Courtis and Moore. As Courtis/Moore they released their first collaborative album 'Brokebox Juke' (NO-FI) earlier this year, to a raft of critical acclaim - "a great achievement, and one of the year's strongest releases" The Wire Moore has also of late been touring in his band with No Neck Blues Band's Dave Nuss, Amolvacy, and has just completed 4 performances in New York as part of Boredoms for their Boadrum9 shows. And of course, he's an integral member of the increasingly seminal Volcano The Bear, who have, in the words of The Wire, "produced some of the finest, wildest British music of the last 10 years on record and on stage…”. Or, as Losing Today puts it, “No one sounds, has sounded or will ever sound quite like Volcano the Bear.” Alan Courtis (aka Anla Courtis, Alna Courtis, etc) was a founder member of the Reynols, a band with more than 100 releases on labels from USA, Europe, Japan & NZ, including conceptual and/or absurd projects like: 10.000 Chicken Symphony, Blank Tapes, Whistling Kettle Quartet. He has collaborated with musicians like: Pauline Oliveros, Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Damo Suzuki (Can), Eddie Prevost (AMM), Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Yoshimi P-Wee (Boredoms), Chris Corsano, Ashtray Navigations, Michael Snow, Birchville Cat Motel, and members of Avarus and Kemialliset Ystävät. He has also released more than one hundred solo releases and collaborations on labels like Tonschacht (Germany), Blossoming Noise (USA), Antifrost (Greece), Celebrate Psi Phenomenon (New Zealand), 267 Lattajjaa (Finland), Jewelled Antler (USA), Riot Season (UK). http://www.myspace.com/courtis http://www.myspace.com/aaronmooretheaccidental

- Sun Mar 14 Alasdair Roberts & Band and Kiila 8pm £8.50 STBF adv tickets from tickets-scotland/monorail Glasgow-based Alasdair Roberts has now released 5 albums of tender yet driving folk music, since his ‘discovery’ via Will ‘Bonnie Prince Billy’ Oldham’s advocacy on hearing a demo tape. The last four of Roberts’ albums have been on the large American indie Drag City and he has shared stages with Joanna Newsom, Magnolia Electric Co, Smog, Charalambides and countless others. However, it is perhaps fair to say that, thus far, the main body of his audience lies across the Atlantic and that he is yet to get the recognition he deserves in the UK. “Roberts is a songwriter who clearly has a very firm working knowledge of more traditional strands of the genre he occupies (his lyrics and guitar playing are, as ever, of considerable merit) but there's a free-roaming, ramshackle rawness to the recordings and presentation here that imbues a sense of intimacy and unconditionedness to proceedings. Recommended” www.boomkat.com This will be the first ever UK tour by Kiila, a collective based in Turku, Finland whose eclectic tastes are betrayed by their ever more adventurous recordings and live sets; its not unusual for Kiila’s sound to include folk rock, free jazz, psychedelia, turntablism and electronica within a matter of minutes. Theirs is no Jack-of-all-trades approach though, the band’s line-up comprising a sextet of virtuoso multi-instrumentalists with various tentacles in a range of adventurous Finnish acts. Kiila released their 3rd album Tuota Tuota on Fonal in June 2009 and, in the words of Dusted Magazine: “Kiila’s greatest coup is shoehorning genuine song craft into this mix without upsetting the balance. (For example) album opener, Viisi Hirvasta. For its first half it’s a hypnotizing instrumental built from plangent strings, stray percussion, and a recurring melody on the bass, until a half-chanted/half-sung passage emerges near its conclusion, making you wonder if it started life as a song, a poem or a jam. Tuota tuota is full of moments like these, where you have to question how it is your listening, as all your usual hierarchies are upended and genres turned on their heads. That you at first don’t quite realize Kiila is doing this is remarkable; that they make it seem so natural is even more so.” Often compared to like-minded US acts such as MV&EE, Wooden Wand and Espers, who have all found significant audiences in the UK and US, Killa are regarded by those who know them as at least as equally musically profound and influential but still to reap their much-deserved wider recognition. http://www.alasdairroberts.com/ http://www.kiila.com/
