New Releases from Acid Mothers, Djin & PCWS and House Of Fire Just Announced!

Acid Mothers Temple | La Novia | LP

The sprawling 40 minute title track is based on an Occitanian folk tune, and the unearthly acoustic opening with its overtone singing sounds like something that might have made its way on to a Werner Herzog soundtrack. Indeed once the guitars come in and the band stoke up their mighty drone, the effect is that of an amped up Popul Vuh, the German band who soundtracked many Herzog films. Ashra Tempel or Amon Duul are other reference points. At times, it’s impossible to believe that this wasn’t recorded in Berlin in 1972, such is the authenticity of the enterprise. But Kawabata’s crew aren’t merely K-tel Krautrockers; La Novia shows a deep respect for the traditional folk form and integrates it completely with the long forays into deep space that the leader’s fuzz

Philadelphia’s psych pop House Of Fire return triumphantly with their long awaited second release. After nearly 5 years of writing and exploration we are taken on a journey into the dark with haunting instrumentals like Ship of the Dead, into stain glass sun rises with tracks like The Mirror. The level of experimentation and detail captured on The Morning Light draws a direct parallel to the classic psych sight and sounds of the 60’s, featuring deluxe packaging.

You’re invited to a special event – a VIP Office concert featuring Kira Small and Bryan Beller!
WHEN: April 19 2012 7:00PM
WHERE: The Neighborhood 1600 N 5th St Philadelphia PA 19122
RSVP: 800-361-3827 x 30
Please support touring musicians! $10.00

Kira Small is an incredible singer/songwriter/keyboardist whose original R&B/soul material is just as deeply intimate as it is funky. Her 2010 CD Raise My Voice [Offrow Records] as well as her previous CD Love In A Dangerous World [2006, Offrow Records] were produced by Bruce Dees (James Brown, Ronnie Milsap) and feature many Muscle Shoals & Motown veterans. As a session singer in Nashville, Kira has performed and recorded with Peter Frampton, Martina McBride, Wynonna Judd, Faith Hill and more. Bluegrass artists Nu-Blu’s version of Kira’s song “Other Woman’s Blues” is the first single off the band’s 2011 album The Blu-Disc and is currently climbing the bluegrass radio charts.

Bryan is a well-known bassist, has toured worldwide with guitarists Steve Vai and Mike Keneally (both ex-Frank Zappa bandmates), the metal band Dethklok (Metalocalypse on Cartoon Network) & hot new super-trio The Aristocrats (w/Marco Minnemann & Guthrie Govan), and has been the focus of plenty of press. He’s also Kira’s husband. 🙂 The material they perform is primarily Kira’s original catalog, with a few choice covers as well. Their newly released duo album Live At The White House (recorded at the Timucua White House in Orlando, FL) has been garnering rave reviews like this one: http://www.thunderrow.com/content.php?1108-Kira-Small-Bryan-Beller-Lightning-And-Thunder

Kira and Bryan are a compelling duo, made even more compelling by the chance to see them in an intimate and unique environment the Neighborhood in the Invincible Pictures building.

After four more dates covering Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, and Edinburgh in UK, then it’s off to Holland, France (Paris and Bordeaux), Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, and Bilbao), Turkey (Istanbul) and, finally, Tel Aviv in Israel. There are still some tickets available for most of these shows outside of UK so reserve yours now to see the Aristocrats in action if you are anywhere near these regions of Europe and Asia Minor.
