Raspberry Bulbs Friday, July 15th, 2011, Midnight - 3am
on
Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
Over the course of two short years, several cassettes, and one full-length LP, Raspberry Bulbs has quickly established itself as a unique and powerful voice in black metal, a project to be reckoned with, and one of the best in the now quite extensive American black metal universe. Their lurching, screaming, mid-tempo anthems, insanely catchy and possessing, have rapidly set the project apart from what some may have originally viewed as a "Bone Awl spinoff project." He Who Crushes Teeth (long-time Bone Awl drummer) is a serious, cornerstone figure in black metal, also having established the excellent Seed Stock label, which has brought an admirable selection of new and older BM titles to the fans on vinyl and cassette. Raspberry Bulbs' My Castle of Quiet appearance marks the first RB live performance anywhere, as most of the cassettes as well as the LP were created by RB alone via multitracking, and only the most-recent RB Tries Again cassette was recorded by the newly formed combo which we'll hear on the air. MCoQ is proud as hell to present this absolutely live session, a long time in the making, and a milestone for black metal fans everywhere.
Casey Rae-Hunter of the Future of Music Coalition, and Sherwin Siy of Public Knowledge will join to discuss the Copyright Alert System's implications for musicians and for everyone who uses the Internet.

Last year's show highlighted an incredible array of sounds, some handed over from Genesis Breyer P-Orridge's own personal trove; expect more rarely-heard sounds once again!

on
Brian Turner's show
Hailing from Olympia, Washington, Milk Music are a killer electric rock trio that conjure up the downstroke punk attack of Greg Ginn with the pop hooks and Bigmuff stylings of Greg Sage & the Wipers (who are clearly a spirit looming large over the Northwest USA these days). Liberal doses of early Dinosaur and Thin Lizzy floating around as well in this, the band's first ever radio session. No-nonsense, simple, buzzed-up American rock for your afternoon listening pleasure.

Jason Soliday Friday, July 1st, 2011, Midnight - 3am
on
Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
One might be tempted to refer to Chicago musician Jason Soliday as a "real electronicist," inasmuch as his staggering and prolific talent bears out evidence of a driven and unstoppable artist, with more projects and side projects than one has appendages. Hell, the guy has a project called "I <3 Presets," he's won Wm. Berger over already. Wm. first heard Jason's music through their mutual friend Steve Witchbeam, and sometime later through a collaborative mini CD between OPPONENTS' Joshua Slusher and Winters in Osaka, another of Jason's (or J.'s) impressive branches of activity. So, he's had one degree of separation from the My Castle of Quiet show for a long time, and a live, on-air visit was more than simply inevitable, much closer to "pre-ordained by the gods." Sonically, Soliday is a pro, his recordings and style melding apocalyptic pounding and drone with multiple, sudden bursts of concréte-style collage and psyche-clearing power electronics, without the messy "I had a bad day" vocals that often tether such a journey to the solid ground. Visit Jason's site for a lot more info. His latest full-length work, Shivering Disorganizer, on a par in both complexity and power with his many other releases, is available for free download at Soliday's soundcloud page. Jason's Castle visit comes at the end of a round of NY-area appearances, including the Ende Tymes Festival at Silent Barn (6/26) and Port d'Or (6/29.)

Ice Age Tuesday, June 28th, 2011, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
This Copenhagen quartet averaged age 17 when composing their debut LP "New Brigade" for Dais Records release stateside, who describe the release as "uncontrived, pure – this record is a youthful assault of downer no-wave hardcore, wise beyond it’s years." Indeed, there's a fresh breath of air in this mix of Pink Flag/Wire-style compact energy and '81 downtown NYC guitar nods, but Ice Age's average 2-minute jams overflow with very original approach to youthful aggro-rock that has already won them a legion of fans awaiting this their first USA soujourn.

The Wire magazine says Arnal has a "balletic sense of time" and "imaginative deployment of colour." He's been on Airborne Event before, with pianist Gordon Beeferman, and shared deft and painterly approach to the drums. Casey Block has somehow found time to turn out incredible music in Hell's Hills, Block:Gartman, and the sadly defunct Fear & Trembling, all while hosting Just Music on East Village Radio and running Eat Records in Williamsburg. His prior visits to Airborne Event have always been a pleasure. Guitarist Aaron Dugan has been a mainstay of Matisyahu's band and played with everyone from Trevor Hall to Bill Laswell.

And if that's not enough, Terre T will be making the world premiere of the new single from Wild Flag! This is the supergroup combining members of Sleater-Kinney, Helium and the Minders.

Stevie Moore has never toured! Until now.

Rust Worship Friday, May 27th, 2011, Midnight - 3am
on
Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
Paul Haney is one of My Castle of Quiet's recurring characters, like Leo McKern's Number Two on the Prisoner, or Joel Murray's drunken client rep on Mad Men. Having appeared first as a guest DJ (archive), then again as part of the trio lineup of Towering Heroic Dudes (archive), these appearances still give only a glimpse of the wall of vibrating chaos that is Paul's solo project, Rust Worship. Using and abusing an array of sources, including cassettes, LPs, turntables, guitars and glass, Rust Worship is most often a polyrhythmic assault, where loops and delayed phrases collide and tumble over one another, sometimes clean and subtle, then rising to a distorted crescendo, like someone trying desperately to fight their way out of a bad dream. Cassettes on Obsolete Units and Cryptic Carousel tell only part of the Rust Worship tale, as part of the fun is the process, that of watching and hearing Paul make thoughtful choices and brave stabs in real time. Rust Worship's Castle visit is a long time in the making, and it's highly likely that Paul will pull a magnum opus (or two) out of his track bag, as so many live Castle guests have in the past.

Blue Sausage Infant and Violet
Monday, May 23rd, 2011, 3pm - 6pm
on
Scott Williams's show
Blue Sausage Infant (BSI) and Violet are 2 long-reigning stars of the inexplicably obscure DC electro/experimental/noise scene. Violet produces subtle deep-listening cold and distant textures through the use of not much more than a zither and a bunch of toy robot bugs. BSI warms things up a bit with some beats, lapsteel loops and the odd human voice. Both represent the excellent DC label Zeromoon and are major architects behind the annual Sonic Circuits festival.

Robin Storey and Shaun Sandor stopped by to do two improvised sets for Noise and Syrup. Storey, who has long worked as Rapoon, and was a co-founder of legendary outfit Soviet France (zoviet-france), assembles a textured and trance-like collage of ethnic loops, radio samples and various sounds of unknown origins. Sandor performing as Promute performs a sparser combination of improvised metal and synth, with rhythms rising and disappearing again. He also runs the label Blondena Music.
