Thought Forms alternate logo, by nicfit

"alternate logo" is a bit of an exaggeration, it was just an idea I wanted to put down...I still quite like it, though!

hey, I missed that last post, just saw on last.fm that they're supporting 65daysofstatic. So I'll probably go see them in Utrecht.
Don't know either band, 65daysofstatic are a bit like Mogwai right? Should be a nice match then :-)
Can't promise I'll record it though, my mics are broken, new ones are ordered but not sure when they'll arrive

one of them is wearing a SY shirt in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJuCvFgAgic
which sounds a hell better than that vid from the Portishead tour.

ticket bought :D

It is a rare day when Deej ain't wearing that Sonic Youth t-shirt, I think. :)

Sonic Youth is part of the band's lineage. Charlie's review of "Smart Bar - Chicago 1985":

Also, here's a pic of Charlie rocking on a Sonic tee:


_tunic_, by all means, please do tape them. I think you could make a precious enough recording only with the Sony PCM M-10, without external mics. I would appreciate to hear it. I thank you so much in advance for any document. There aren't enough recordings of them out there and possibly a few more people besides myself would love to have more.

The Thought Forms/Esben and The Witch split is almost here, and reviews have started to appear:

According to Invada, there are still some copies left of the Silver edition (limited to 500 units), and Thought Forms mentioned at their facebook that digital copies of the split are likely to start circulating from April 7th onwards (perhaps via Bandcamp?).

yeah, I'll give those internal mics a try.
Damn, they have some great stuff on their bandcamp. E.g. the second song of http://thoughtforms.bandcamp.com/album/sorry-i-forgot
I tend to find drone becoming quite boring after listening to the same song for a few minutes, but this is very good

news from folks at reverb worship:

Wonderful news, thank you!


Thought Forms/Esben And The Witch split LP is now available as a digital artifact, at Invada Records' Bandcamp:

thanks guys for raving about them! They were well worth seeing, even though they only played a 30 minutes set, and the other band played way too long for my liking. And in between sets I had to listen to the most annoying conversation ever by the couple behind me. Her mom is going to remarry in July for the third time, and the new guy is a dickhead. And her dad told her by mail that he never wants to see her again.... JEZUS CHRIST I DON'T WANNA KNOW BITCH
So now you know too :D It went on for 20 minutes like that

Anyway, bought their 2 CDs and a T-shirt, and listened to the latest on the drive back home. It's absolutely great. Also had a quick chat with them, this was the last night of the tour with 65daysofstatic, they will go to Brussels next to play on a Terry Riley piece.

I did record it, came out OK-ish, I did have to lower the levels twice during the first song. Those internal mics are much more sensitive, I think I recorded 65daysofstatic with the levels set to 0.5

Awesome-O. Thank you so much. I'm looking very much forward to the recording. And I need some of those Thought Forms t-shirts...

I'm really excited about that Primordial Undermind/Thought Forms record. I thought it was a split album, but it seems it's actually a recording of a collaboration by both bands. :)

nicfit should send his logo
might be a bit costly to print it in multicolor though :)

Lava Thief will be releasing VENA CAVA's debut album in November. Video for "Throne Brain Believers", directed by cLOUDBOY is on Youtube:

Nice track! Who are they? I assume the two from Thought Form with another female drummer?

They are from Bristol too, and Charlie has often been a member of the band. Not sure she's drumming now or playing guitar (or even there for the long run).

"Throne Brain Believers" is now available for streaming or downloading from VENA CAVA's Bandcamp. I'll have Paypal funds tomorrow to buy .flac files of this. :)

thanks Stu! I'll be sharing a recording of them myself soon too, when they supported 65daysofstatic a couple months ago. A stunning set it was, not a very good recording though. But it's better than nothing :)
