JONATHAN KANE is a Downtown NYC legend -- as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans and the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the rock excursions of La Monte Young -- and one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet. In his own work, Kane summons Swans' concussive wallop, Chatham's dense guitar strata, and the perpetual propulsion of 70s krautrockers Neu, then steers it all head-on into... the blues. In Kane's high-decibel swaggeryou'll hearthe mind-blowing reinvention of both minimalism and the blues:guitar-driven minimalism propelled into the blues, and the blues exploding into guitar-driven harmonic maximalism.
JONATHAN KANE'S FEBRUARY features rock legend ERNIE BROOKS (MODERN LOVERS, RHYS CHATHAM) on bass; DAVID DANIELL, DAVID BICKNELL, JON CRIDER and PAUL DUNCAN on guitars and JONATHAN on drums.
"A massively subtle psychedelic system... Here, even the slightest flux in rhythmic/melodic detail seems almost tectonic ... Ferocious." The Wire
"Paradise between the back porch, the urban jungle and the heavens above ... Rarely does the avant-garde rock this hard." Time Out New York
"February is a drone-inspired record in a big way; massive walls of chugging Chatham/Branca-leaning dissonant single guitar chords lead the way through long, and at times bluesy workouts. ..." WFMU
"ROCKS! Great Southern-fried looped blues rock. Like Steve Reich if all he listened to was Muddy Waters and Zeppelin." Dusted

I'll be definately going to this one.Last time i went to see Rothko at the Hoxton Town Hall there was no sign or anything to say that the gig had either being cancelled or moved.Hopefully this time it wont happen.

I wasn't very excited by Jonathan Kane's CD when I heard it, I didn't think it sounded particularly out of the ordinary.

Are you thinking of going?Rothko don't play live that often.

it's not particularly out of the ordinary, but i like it a lot all the same



anyway, thanks again sonicl, london giglore master

Are you going Toilet?

Rothko are good. Does anyone know what's wrong with Coxhill? Looks like a great gig. I won't make either because I'm strapped, but I hope you chaps go to 'represent'. Or something.

Apparently Coxhill had a hip operation and was unable to work for a while.

Where did you find out about that?I was looking for info to no avail.I wanna see John Edwards play.

I'm intrigued what Stewart Lee would do. I remember an article by him in The Wire about being introduced to improv when he went to see a mate play with Morphenogenisis.

Yesi also want to see him and the great Evan Parker.I'm sure that's gonna be a good one.Totally sure.

surely stewart lee would just be doing stand up?

I'd assume that's the case.That i know of,he hasn't started playing any instruments yet.

.......unless Richard Thomas has taught him how to.

his stand-up is incredible
