The Amazements Tuesday, April 15th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
Who are the Amazements? A big smoggy question mark cloud hangs over this mysterious young L.A. outfit; they appeared on songstress Grey DeLisle's record which was produced by one their dads (an ex-Lone Justice member), though in their own element they're a unique and weird slant on the garage rock aesthetic, maybe somewhat of a toxified Cleveland take on Beefheart blues.
Dave Deporis Monday, April 14th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on
Irene Trudel's show
At first listen the music of Dave Deporis is strikingly obscure and engaging, filled with a contradictory quiet power. Once relocated to Florida as a child from his native Manhattan, Dave returned to NYC with influences from both locales. In an interview for Sixeyes, Deporis said, "There is an indelible part of my psyche informed by the urban and the frenetic, as well as a deep love for the land beyond the cities, the oceans and seabirds,
the mountains and streams, the desert and sand dunes, the places
where life slows down and the face of nature reveals itself to you."

The Worms
Thursday, April 10th, 2008, 6pm - 7pm
on
Phuj Phactory with Ergo Phizmiz
The Worms are an English duo, making music in, or within sight of the the folk tradition since 2005. Mark Worm writes lyrics, and Jonathan Worm writes music. Neither of whom really knows their place though, and are liable to get involved above their respective stations. The songs you can hear on the Phuj Phactory were recorded exclusively for WFMU, and capture the gamut of their lyrical concerns: shift-working; the texture of familiar skin; geology; electro-pop goddesses; and the search for truth. The Worms operate in the manner of an art collective. This could be difficult with only two people, but they are both senior and opinionated enough to generate a mob's worth of ideas and directions. And as we all know, a song needs a good idea at the heart of it: "Technique is only a weapon to do what must be done" (Cecil Taylor). Find out more, if you've the stomach, right here.

Wildildlife Tuesday, April 8th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
Masters of skull-frying soundscapes, Wildildlife's debut full length "Six"
(on Crucial Blast) buzzes with Sabbath sludge riffery, echoplexed-out vocals and tribal drumming to drive you straight into a swirling black hole. Killing Joke, Butthole Surfers, and Khanate come to mind as well, and despite the lurching, scuzzed out avalanche of sound, this is actually one of the most melodic (yet heavy) bands you'll hear in a long time!
Eric Carbonara and Nick Schillace
Monday, April 7th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on
Irene Trudel's show
A douple-dip of fingerstyle guitarists play live on Irene's program. Philly-based multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Eric Carbonara thouroughly embraces all the bounties the wooden guitar offers. Eric's playing widely ranges from acoustic comtemplations of Andalusian Roma-Flamenco to the aggressively noisy. Carbonara is a regular improviser with Evil Eye Sound System & plays with Philly psych-rockers, Soft People. Also performing on the show is Nick Schillace, who is a disciple of the American primitive style of fretwork. Saved by his guitar at the last moment from becoming merely a journalist, Detroit-based Schillace instead became a musicologist who channels the spirit of John Fahey in his own works. Nick just released his second disc, "Landscape and People," on Burleytime Records, and plays with post-rock outfit In Door Park.
Cath and Phil Tyler
Sunday, April 6th, 2008, 6am - 9am
on
Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Tune in this Sunday for a set of real primitive American folk music
from Newcastle, England via American ex-pat Cath and her British
husband Phil. They've been playing their particular old-school
Americana in Europe alongside the likes of Six Organs of Admittance, MV&EE and the Golden Road, and Pekko Kappi and have a new record out called Dumb Supper. Phil's raw, twirling banjo and guitar playing goes perfectly with Cath's primitive folk hollers and whispers, retelling timeless stories of love, sex and death.
The Garifuna people are a cultural minority on the Caribbean coast of Central America, descendents of slaves who today live in Belize, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Garifuna culture and music blends West African, Arawak Indian and European influences.

on
Irene Trudel's show
Nalle is both Finnish for a small bear (generally a teddy bear, and named after a childhood toy of vocalist Hanna Tuulikki), and a folky psychedelic trio based in Glasgow, Scotland. Vocalist Hanna sounds like Bjork on helium, while Aby and Chris, the other 2/3 of the trio, weave a trippy, other-worldly blend of weird instrumentation around her.

on
Liz Berg's show
What the hell has Baltimore spiked their water system with, and how do we get some? Incorporating keyboards, viola, guitar, and heavy drums, Baltimore's Lo Moda plays catchy, off-beat pop with a sinister undercurrent. They've opened up for Dutch legends, The Ex, and their latest CD, Gospel Store Front has enjoyed quite a bit of love on WFMU recently.

B.R. Wallers of Britain's legendary Country Teasers has recorded 28 albums on his
own as The Rebel. Backed up by three other Teasers, he performs for you today on
Brian's show. Says Wallers: "Country Teasers was a manner and a style, created
to execute a disciplined programme against a perceived problem in music and
politics; The Rebel is pure music and word. Did you like The Residents but wished
the verses weren't always the same scan/rhyme pattern? Do you like the way The
Shadow Ring disobey all rules but still produce beauty and real emotion? Tune
in, because at least you'll find these problems solved for you, if not your
dismay with all music."

The Bowmans Monday, March 17th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on
Irene Trudel's show
Sharing that inexplicable "telepathic" bond as twins, Sarah and Claire Bowman have been making harmonious, folky music since a tender age. The Bowmans homebase is Brooklyn, but their music has a bit of swing to it that's hard to pinpoint. Think old-timey folk intertwined with more than a few hairs of classical and gospel music.

Monday, February 11th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on
Irene Trudel's show
Brooklynite Josh Mease spends most of his time in a daydream nation with songs that recall no one era or genre. They simply sound like every happy memory, fond recollection, and momentary "what if?" you've ever had. Mease's recent self-titled album is a journey through the patchwork dream world he permanently inhabits, and Josh tops it all off with a voice that hints at what might have happened if Chet Baker got it on with all four Beatles.
Then a performance by Black Cat Bones, who is alleged to have either exchanged his ability to read and write for his mojo hand & can of Red Stripe or turned himself into brilliant storyteller and an expressive, elegant guitarist full of blues, folk and punk. There's a touch of Syd Barrett and Billy Bragg in Rory's songs as Black Cat Bones, and he plays live on the show.
