low indigo – astoria – dec 05 2009

Speakerbruiser and Math Rosen were both very, very good at the Astoria last night. There was a dude who played between their sets who was also awesome – big, spacious, fuzzy bangers. very very nice.

The wiring at the Astoria maybe leaves something to be desired – powerbars plugged into powerbars plugged into powerbars…eek. We managed to blow the main breaker for everything past the pool tables and had to sacrifice a projector to reduce power draw, alas. But the place sounded brilliant.

Met some new people and saw some folks I hadn’t seen in a while. Also climbed around the ceiling. Good times.

Low Indigo is irregular, ongoing and highly recommended.

On October 17th SWARM played a second Work Less Party party at the Japanese hall to an enthusiastic audience. The show was a variation on the full-scale multimedia performance we put together for Shambhala back in August. We scaled back a couple of aspects and put together some new material to keep things fresh and – despite the inevitable technical difficulties – things came together nicely.

We’re currently working on a show with a smaller footprint so we can expand the range of venues which can accommodate our show. The new instrumentation (including a handmade cylindrical stand-up bass!) and modified electronics will provide fresh ground for developing the repertoire.

The next public show is winter solstice in Cumberland, on Vancouver Island, December 21. I’ll put up more info as it becomes available.
