Fire Museum Presents: Lexie Mountain Boys Fursaxa George Korein Cecilia Corrigan Mascher Space Co-op 155 Cecil B. Moore Avenue 2B, Philadelphia Friday, June 27th 8PM $5 "If you were to take only one thing away from Baltimore's Lexie Mountain Boys—performers, musicians, exhibitionists—it would be the power of believing in themselves. Through this, they are able to break down barriers, defy stereotypes, challenge social norms and, as their Myspace profile points out, “embrace[ing] embarrassment.” -Kruger Magazine
The Boys’ music is a mix of tripped-out harmonies and psychedelic vocals, a great bit of it improvised, with a basic outline or blueprint decided a short time before each show. Describing the impetus of the group, Lexie Mountain explains: “Our initial motivation was to have fun and develop performances in a very free and forceful manner, to generate music solely of ourselves, and to capitalize on the liberation that comes from not being behind a guitar or drum kit.” Also performing on this evening of sonic merriment are: Fursaxa "Slow-motion ghost dances and fogged forest floor tones, at times alternating with Tara's own possessed brand of spoken word incantations, bringing to mind late night coven gatherings." -Raven Sings the BluesGeorge Korein "I'm beginning to sense the emergence of a new generation's answer to Jason Willett, Baltimore's infamous inscrutable genius of Megaphone/Leprechuan Catering/Half-Japanese/Ruins/post-RIO-dada notoriety. Both worrisome and thrilling, this prospect."
--Michael Anton Parker/Bagatellen.com and Cecilia Corrigan (just returned from Argentina and certain to astound!). Go anywhere else this evening and you'll wake up with a horrible case of regret, we guarantee it!! |
