and if anyone was at Sludge Mansion to catch Baths last night, Ary (Anamanaguchi) had his laptop stolen and could use all of our help getting it or the logic files back.

tune of the night

“Mischief night or Gate night (also known as Devil’s Night in some areas) is a tradition in parts of England, Canada and the United States; a night when the custom is for preteens and teenagers to take a degree of license to play pranks and do mischief to their neighbors. The most common date for mischief night is October 30, the day before Halloween.”

go fucking wild.

three cheers for ambient minimalism

A new track from Geotic was sent out via Fbook today featuring Mario Luna (Meals for Children, Nephews, Milk, etc) on vocals. Skipping rocks across a river which feeds into a great waterfall, when the rocks sink below the surface their destiny becomes the action of falling. Their motive is to seek new ground to lay upon and whether it be a 1000year shift and they take on new shape or form these rocks will make it, only to be skipped again one day. The endless recycling of a unique experience.

New full-length from Will Wiesenfeld’s Geotic. Duchenne Smile collects samples from the past year and audible memories which Will has archived. As usual, we highly recommend the free download – and props to Will’s recent final Nephew’s show and [Post-foetus] opening for Themselves a few days ago? Congrats homie! Reviewing this EP later, still laying in bed and listening through for my first time. And peep this Oh My Rockness Po-fo band bio.

New [Post-foetus]

“Will Wiesenfeld of [Post-Foetus] is a absolutely unrecognized genius. He creates the kind of music your soul plays right before you go to sleep and makes your heart swell up as you go on a journey you could have never imagined. Will Wiesenfeld has truly mastered his art and brings electronic music to the next stage.” [FMLY, Sept 3]

What an awesome weekend for fans of [Post-foetus]. I hope that Friday night’s show at the Knitting Factory was rad, so lets end our freedom with a brand new tune, “Douse.” As usual with [Po-fo] tracks, “Douse” comes equipped with an ambiance that only Will’s sweeping voice has the capacity to handle. This is the first [Post-foetus] track that we’ve heard since The Fabric release last year, but certainly not the only work that will has been up to – remember when we blogged about Geotic’s Winter Loops EP late last year? Anyways, sit down with a nice cup of tea, enjoy the music and have a great rest of your night.

[Post-foetus] – Douse
lyrics

Don’t forget to catch [Post-foetus] at FMLY’s night of Booty Shaking February 21. Daedelus, Intricate Machines and Free The Robots will also be in attendance. RSVP via fbook, here.

were heer

were heer‘ is an evening music event TONIGHT hosted by FMLY reader and show-goer Dylan Rees from Venice High School and that’s where I will be tonight. What interests me about these West LA house shows is the tendency to follow festival-like procedures. I remember in my freshman and sophomore years of High School house shows were free come in and out as you please events that held ground as more of a friendly get together than an evening musical retreat. From what I’ve noticed the past few years, many of these house shows involve the same folks, but an admission fee has been established as well as a strict schedule, a flyer, a street team and a fundamental line-up which varies from week to week. This evolution is fascinating and in short I’d love it if everyone just had house shows with my favorite bands all of the time and eventually we all just opened up an orgy of a venue – Oakgrove/FMLY/Veritas/Sprawl/Family/etc, lets work in that direction instead of being so separate!

Back to tonight, here is the info:

Dylan Rees’ home can be found at 3483 Barry Ave., 90066 in Los Angeles…Mar Vista to be exact. It’s $5 to get in, but alcohol and drugs are not allowed – this is to ensure that the show doesn’t get shut down by the cops so if you’ve gotta drink, smoke, snort or shoot up then keep it in the car. Actually, don’t. FMLY does not condone in car drug use or drug use for that matter; if it ain’t medicinal then it ain’t for us. Rees has also requested that no one fuck with his fireplace. Here’s the lineup and schedule for the night:

Boys (6:50-7:10)
Geotic (7:10-7:40)
Stairs and Streets (7:40-8:10)
The Histories (8:10-8:40)
Nat Love (8:40-9:20)
Nephews (9:20-10:00)

I’ve been physically absent from the LA scene for a couple of years now, but I can place a FMLY guarantee that Geotic, The Histories and Nephews are well worth driving in from Silverlake or Echo Park to see. Nat Love (aka Deadwood Dick) posted their first song on MySpace this week, check it out – featuring Luke Silas (Nephews, Anamanaguchi, Histories, etc) on drums it sounds just like Nephews minus an intense Will Wiesenfeld driven bass part. See ya’ll there.

Geotic Winter Loops EP


Will Wiesenfeld ([Post-foetus], Nephews, Geotic) has posted a new EP of Winter Loops under his Geotic moniker. Clocking in around 14minutes, all loops were created Christmas day. You can also find the EP on the Geotic facebook group.

Also, don’t forget to download Geotic’s first full-length, Eyes.

Geotic – Eyes.zip 50MB

Both of these releases are outstanding. There has been a noticeable difference in Will’s music since he acquired his Akai somethingthousandsomethinghundred, but loops of rich memories and a knowledge of story telling have left that underlying and inexpressible feeling intact. I am a huge fan of Will’s and could not recommend these enough, plus they’re free!

Will Wiesenfeld, [Post-foetus], Geotic


[Post-foetus] is a regular name on the blog, so I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce what has been happening from the camp of Will Wiesenfeld. After taking some time off to complete The Fabric and go balls out with Nephews, Will has come back in full force via Youtube, Geotic and iTunes. If there has been more recent activity that I’ve missed please leave that information as a comment.

First up is “Gentle Breeze,” under the moniker Geotic.
Will says, “An hour-long track to help you fall asleep, relax,
or whatever else it is you like to do when you listen to this type of stuff.
Enjoy.”

The Fabric is now available on iTunes. Purchase, review, tell your friends about it and talk about it on your own blog!

You can watch Will creating beauty and setting standards via Youtube.

Finally, [Post-foetus] is coming at us as a full live band featuring Luke Silas (Anamanguchi, Nephews, Dracula Mountain, Yes Means No, The Histories, etc), Mario Luna (Meals for Children, Nephews, The Histories, etc), John Wiesenfeld, Georgia Lill, Jane Kilcullen and of course, Will Wiesenfeld.

I apologize for this mess of a post, have a nice weekend and to echo Cameron, please vote on Tuesday.
