Sunday, October 10 * 5pm * outside at Rhizome * masks required * TICKETS: https://withfriends.co/event/12571813/Since 2003, Philadelphia-based improv ensemble Kohoutek has constructed a dynamic, stylistic range of abstract sound, consisting of textural drone, atmospheric rock, harsh noise freakouts, clattering percussion, guitar heroics and alien electronics, all congealing to form a multihued psychedelic extravaganza. Inspired by such varied musical entities as Can, Amon Duul 2, Trad Gras Och Stenar, Dead C, Sun City Girls, Hawkwind, This Heat, Sun Ra, Art Ensemble of Chicago and King Crimson, they inhabit a world of murky terrain where drone, musique concrete and noise coalesce with cosmic folk, where doom and sludge metal merge with fiery jazzoid polyrhythms. All Kohoutek performances are rituals channeling untapped energy transmogrified through pure expression and response to the immediate environment. Their new studio album, Jurad, was released in May by Cardinal Fuzz/Feeding Tube.
"When Frank Hurricane comes into a room it’s really something. As his name implies, he is impossible to ignore. It’s just as tempting to put Frank in a You Can’t Win-style hobo camp as it is to make sense of him as a post-Tim and Eric product of the psych-folk/noise-tape boom, but these sorts of categories invariably break down when confronted with actual life. You can’t throw a roach clip out the driver’s side window these days without hitting a finger-picking guitarist, but you can’t throw a star across the galaxy and hit anything like Frank Hurricane, and with those odds, how can you refuse?" -Matt Krefting
