Man this makes we want to live in Dallas! (That is, if these guys played every night) If you get a chance- GO SEE THEM! Fantastic stuff. Also, Aaron and Dennis played all over the upcoming “Shits and Giggles” with Vas Deferens Organization and AREIL PINK . Coming out VERY SOON.

I am very, very sorry to inform his many fans and friends that after a nearly year-long struggle with cancer, Lars Hollmer died on Christmas day. He was a gifted and unique composer/accordionist/keyboardist and general musical hero to those on the ‘wayside’, including myself. I also got to know him a bit from working with him over the last 10 years and he was in addition to all these other attributes, a really good and funny person as well. Being a huge fan of his work over the many years and loving his music for (among many other qualities) its melodic wistfulness, I can not begin to convey how sadly appropriate I find his death on Christmas to be. |
FRANKIE TEARDROP!-ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC ROLLERCOASTER RIDE/APHRODITE’S LULLABY, 1997, USA
The sole release under this moniker from dearly departed Vas Deferens Organization/Yeti/Ohm keyboard guru Doug Ferguson, Frankie Teardrop! was the alter ego he used for his solo keyboard outings, this one produced by Matt Castille from VDO (I sat this session out for some reason) during some downtime from the recording of VDO’s “Zyzzybaloubah”, if memory serves. Two for the ages from the maestro here, Electro-Acoustic Rollercoaster Ride liquidly surging through Phaedra-like progressions, 666-era Vangelis flourishes and passages of the hectic gothic grandiosity he’d take to such hair raising ends in Yeti and Aphrodite’s Lullaby riding the pulse of the universe somewhere between the tranquilly fluttering core of Harmonia’s Deluxe and the pastoral electronics of Sowiesoso-era Cluster.
