This ain't no hay ride

You think loading up a 9 or 10 piece band into a cargo van and cruising around Music City is easy? Hell, its bad enough trying to get everybody together at home. But, we did it, and for a couple tacos and a liberal view on bar tabs, we'd take Blue Steel to your hometown too. The unfortunate thing about our ride is the high seat to cheeks ratio. Here, Crab Louie's face perfectly exemplifies how it feels to lose at Noot d' noot musical chairs.

Vistas. We're seriously considering adding a "scenic backdrop" requirement to our rider. Our man in Nashville, Joe Baine Colvert, put us up proper with flatscreens and Fat Tire, as well as this lovely view of Brentwood, Tennessee.

When Noot comes to town, it may be a good idea to go ahead and reserve the top floor of your local Irish pub in case the band needs to sit for a spell and unwind. Suggested recreational activities include darts, chess, checkers, and Jameson.

"Oh, and hey, um, Grimey's Records? This is Electro Siren. I think we're gonna be a little bit late for that in-store. Circuit Diva and I are all heeped up on Irish Coffee."

Time honored Traditions

Back in 2004, Jiggle City was a different place. Gunslingers, gangsters, confidence men, and dope peddlers ran the street. The kind of place pious mothers threatened to send their naughty children, and the type of town unscrupulous mothers knew that their children would end up. One faint glimmer of hope still shone. One band of brothers believed in happier, more peaceful times, where those with badunkadunks could earnestly shake their junk, where music was made with more than machines. A place where the simple call of "polter" and the reply "geist" could echo across the land and into the hands of every empty heart.
Those men were the Good Friday Experiment. Four longhairs with a passion, and an opening slot at the Roxy Theatre in Atlanta for the My Morning Jacket show.

A New Rising Sun

Fly on brother Mitch.  You put a spell on thee.  Thanks for the scenery.  Just let us know...we're all brothers and sisters aren't we?

Auric Sight and Seen

If your eyes have been recently recepting a narrow range of frequencies of ElectroMagnetic vibration, we request your attendence at the "Fun Art Time" show by Squanto on the Saturday of November 22nd at Mint Gallery. Squanto has provided Noot with visual trancendence since our inception, and we intend to honor her this day with a bembe drum get together lead by Ilĕ Tambor. Your RGB sensors will be stretched well beyond the .3 to .7 micrometer standard, as spectrum itself may need redifining.  Come home to the gay tee pee and rest your astral body in a room of rainbow pillows.  You will then be covered by the starblanket, as translators of the Oracle will guide you upon your iced jose' tussin vision quest.  Don't miss it.

Pre-Millennium Tension: Good Friday Experiment 12/29/99

Dig it.  The last wednesday of the decade, century, millennium.  You remember?  Either the future was nearly here or the compruters were gonna shut down.  Was it stepping into tomorrow or Babylon?  Well, it didn't really happen overnight like it was sposed to, it was more of a slowly and surely thing.  Some real life national tragedies followed by travesty. Fiber optic bluffing, dollar bill turning to no-thing, innanet chaffing, and a quick trajectory to nathan. AND some real shit music to go along with it all.  I mean, we got worse music than the 80's in the 2000's.  But hey, didn't you feel a little light last week?   

I pulled this tune from the Beyond Failure blog and if you dig, the whole show is there, and a ton of other historical Atlanta musical adventures.  This here tune was a standard in the Mach 1 line up of Good Friday Experiment. It uses the key of D, which i think can be proven as the greatest key for drone on the guitar instrument.  As for rhythms, i would argue 3's and 6's are more shamanically trans-inducing than 2's and 4's, though not quite as easy to dance to.  What do you think?   

Recent Accolades

Got a new plaque to hang in the lab from Creative Loafing.  Thanks y'all, we'll try and make good on this.  Then performer said something about being dusted.  We appreciate it.  Then our boy Gnosis made mention of Living The Life.  Well hell yeah.
