Event
CIRCLE, GRAILS, & ASSEMBLE HEAD IN SUNBURST SOUND at Joe Preston's MANCAMPUS
CIRCLE
"Formed in 1991, Circle is the most visible and prolific name in the Finnish avant-rock underground. Having survived innumerable lineup changes, the band and its founder, bassist/vocalist/guitarist Jussi Lehtisalo, have constantly reinvented themselves, weaving hypnotic mantras out of exacting Krautrock beats, heavy riffs, arty noise, dark psychedlia, and soundtrack-like beauty. Hard, chilly repetition has served as the lone unifying theme throughout 15 years of experiments."

GRAILS
"Grails is evocative, sinuous and unpredictable -- like all great music should be. So, it stands to reason that nearly everything written about the instrumental bands music expounds on how much it reminds listeners of particular experiences, sights, moods, dreams People react emotionally to the Portland, OR quintets powerfully evocative songs because they compel us to fill the gap between music and language. To quote one 20th Century sage, instrumental music is Total Music. Theres no voice to quaintly tell us how we should feel, only the emotive musical force moving us to understand and empathize.
The anxious tension, extreme dynamics and urgent tone of Grails second album Red Light seems to briefly glance back upon the rather lush and even-keeled feel of its debut The Burden of Hope (often compared to Godspeed You Black Emperor, Dirty Three)and then torches the path it has traveled."

ASSEMBLE HEAD IN SUNBURST SOUND
"Like a lost Fillmore broadcast scrambled in the ionosphere before crashing meteor-like into the Mojave sandthe Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound funnels a Technicolor panorama of California rock and roll history into soulful, high-energy nuggets of contemporary, bluesy choogle n fuzz and wistful moonbase laments. Born in San Francisco in the dim dawn light of the new millennium, The Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound is built around a core of three musicians, Jefferson Marshall, Sunburst 3 (M.I.K.E. Lardas) and Charlie Saufley, who stumbled upon each other from divergent experiences in funk platter dealing, heavy space pop brewing, noise punk scrambling and a shared love of raga, Mudhoney and Pink Floyd."
