squarepusher "Tour Details"

  Quote

To offer a foretaste of the 10th anniversary edition of the Festival forthcoming in January 2009, club transmediale proudly presents what after a break of many years is to be the first and, moreover, the only concert given in Germany by the pioneer of Electronica, Squarepusher, who will present his new masterpiece Just A Souvenir on 26th November 2008 in the Volksbühne theatre Berlin. Accompanied by a drummer and an elaborate video show, Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher will transform the theatre's main stage into a seething dance-floor, with a spectacular concert concept.

On hand to attune us to the sublime delights the evening holds in store will be Norwegian Noise-Rockers and Berliners-by-choice MoHa! who released their explosive 3rd album, One-way Ticket to Candyland in September on Rune Grammofon. Anders Hana on guitar and keyboards and Morten S. Olson on drums unite carefree nonchalance with mathematical precision, thereby sparking a maelstrom of sharp-edged sound splinters, weighty guitar riffs, shivering noise and high-velocity beats.

Support: MoHa! (Rune Grammofon) + DJ

I'm guessing that the drummer is Toms old school pal and drummer YeeKing!

whoaa wtf!

fuck! i'll miss this

so Dennis Chambers supports Pusher on that Berlin gig.

internetz wins.

I have yet to see any proof that Dennis Chamber is supporting Tom. If he is I will shit my pants.

i'd love to see a retrospective tom tour with that dnb drummer guy

that + tom loops for his sampler thingy + tom bass would fucking floor.

Im sorry here's a misunderstanding.

There is no sign or whatever, that dennis chambers is supporting Squarepusher.

But i would like to see chambers doing a solo over tensor in green.

Gunther Baby Sommer, i would love to see him doing Orient Orange as well.

wasn't serious.

though i'm sure it will be a decent drummer. dunno, there are LOADS of really great studio/live/jazz drummer professionals who just don't play in flashy bands so we haven't heard of them.

On the Björk gig i saw in summer, she had a drummer there who was kind of buried in the mix but you could see he was playing very sophisticated...

me i'd like this guy:

No doubt that guy is bad ass but Tom seems to have dropped any form of quantized breaks at all. He's in love with that "live" feel. Frankly, I find Tom's drumming annoying and he never changes the timbre of his kit. Throw down a new snare, baffle your kick more, you got the money, do something!!!!

i agree, his kit sounds shite imo

OH MY GOD. If I had two words to describe this man it would be "pure music". More, please.

Anywho, since this is turning into the 'awesome drummers thread' I give you this:

i hope you are not serious because yee-king is a wretchedly thin beardy computer programmer

supercollider does terrible things to your physique

looking forward to this, got my ticket

Squarepusher with live drummer huh. I mean, considering his history, that's almost like selling out, isn't it?

Preview jam video linkage: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/video/2008...er-session-live

"In a new track written exclusively for Guardian.co.uk/music, Squarepusher explores the boundaries of drums and bass with Alex Thomas ahead of their forthcoming tour"

awesome, thanks for the link!

and no, he's not selling out. how's it selling out if he's touring an album which has live drumming?

i'd like to know...... if you have to sit in a chair during that concert? cuz in the teaser text some ass wrote some shit and then wrote "... turn the stage into a dancefloor", but when buying tickets online you get to choose a seat.....?

two weeks YA YA

pumped!

A google of the drummer shows he was with Badly Drawn Boy (I'm not familar with them) and has played some trash metal stuff too.... So given the new albums sound... I can see where he'll fit into a live gig.

I just hope Squarepusher keeps some of the acid techno of bangface for the new tour as well as the jazzy and trashy stuff.
