Weirdo, Avant. Just Incredible. posted by Tom Hill 2013 May 6th, a Monday The Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center is proud to present Ulan Bator (from Paris, France), Wei Zhongle, and Nathalie Forget on May 9th.
Ulan Bator is an Avant-Rock, four piece band that hails from Paris, France. Formed in 1993 by Amaury Cambuzat, who is also a member of the legendary German band Faust, Ulan Bator has toured all throughout Europe and has had past singles featured extensively on EU MTV. They continue to have numerous guest members including James Johnston (Gallon Drunk, Lydia Lunch, Bad Seeds) and most recently Nathalie Forget (Ondes Martenot, Radiohead). Michael Gira, of Swans fame and Young God Records, praises Ulan Bator as “one of the best french bands in the past 300 years”. Currently on their first ever U.S tour, Ulan Bator will release their new L.P En France/En Trance on May 27th, 2013. Wei Zhongle are an experimental rock band from Carbondale, Illinois. Founded by Rob Jacobs (Rob Jacobs Ensemble), Wei Zhongle pushes the boundaries of music by combining various world music sounds with heavy eastern influences and nonlinear lyrics. Their third album, Raised High/Brought Low, was recently released on April 13th. Nathalie Forget is an installation artist and currently a member of Ulan Bator. Nathalie’s performance, Kiss on a Mexican Stone, incorporates the Ondes Martenot, sheep wool, and obsidian stone. She uses sheep as a symbol because it not only represents the religious symbol of sacrifice, but a mystical symbol as well as an image of softness, warmth, and love. by Katie Connor |
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr posted by Tom Hill 2013 Feb 21st, a Thursday As much as we hate to do it, the disastrous conditions of the roadways due to Jack Frost's nipping rage has forced us to cancel tonight's show with Nathan Leigh, HappyDaze, Zagk Gibbons, and Alex Sims . Please, everyone, stay safe, warm, and kind.To offer a consolation for this cancellation, I give a video from Sleepyhead's set a few weeks ago. SLEEPYHEAD! |
xNYEx!!! posted by Tom Hill 2012 Dec 31st, a Monday The xNYEx tradition continues as we bring together the most DIY minded and best friends we have to celebrate the the year past, new year to come, and all the friendships to be had.
As always, all are invited to stay at the Lemp through the night to keep off of the roads and to have a place to sleep if you are coming from out of town. Arrive early for food and conversation. We will start the night off at 8 PM with Instrument, the document about Fugazi. This movie tells a beautiful story about the band and why they did what they did. Instrument Woodgraves epicycle Alta Mids (former Badgerhunt) There might be some surprise additions, so be prepared. At midnight, we will toast with sparkling grape juice. Of course, this will be $5 and all ages. No Booze No Drugs No Jerks |

Cough cough... posted by Tom Hill 2012 Sep 22nd, a Saturday Excuse me. I am coughing because this page is so dusty. To bring you up to speed as I wipe off the dust, we had a great conclusion to our Summer Intensive with Orchestrating Diversity, early August saw some of our best friends in the Midwest DIY community come through, and now we are getting ready for the more experimental performances of Joey Molinaro tonight, Tatsuya Nakatani on 10/4, and Noisefest at the end of October.
Now for your viewing and listening pleasure, here are just a few videos of the great performances we had had lately: Orchestrating Diversity: Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5, Op. 73 Caution Children Normal Love Spook Houses |
