Gata Pirâmide's Early Demos (two tracks) is now on Bandcamp via Vampire Blues:

In 2015 Gata Pirâmide starts a cycle of rehearsals and exchange of references between Valério, Steve and Kishimoto. In this record of the first ideas the band invites the listener to feel the freshness and purity through the sound.

Valério and Steve Shelley met in 2013 when Steve performed with Lee Ranaldo & the Dust at Largo da Batata, a free outdoor concert in São Paulo, Brazil. It was in 2015, when Steve returned to the capital, that the duo had a chance to play together for the first time. With Sao-Paulo multi-instrumentalist Paulo Kishimoto on bass and synths and a few unfinished compositions by Valério (guitar, electric kalimba and voice) in the repertoire - and a name inspired by an ancient Egyptian goddess - the group made its debut on the stage of a small club in the city center.

released August 7, 2020

valério - kalimba, guitar
paulo kishimoto - bass, percussion, synths
steve shelley - drums

NEW TITLES ADDED TODAY...

World Trade Center Benefit 2001

Some brief notes: Thurston Kim and I all lived downtown, and our studio on Murray Street was downtown. In fact pieces of one of the engines landed on the roof of our studio building, that's how close we were. The events of 9/11 were traumatic for so many, and too close for comfort for some of us. Many people were doing heroic work around the clock in the aftermath. This benefit show at The Bowery Ballroom was literally put together in a weeks time, shortly after we regained access to the studio and our gear. The show was in benefit for Central American workers killed in World Trade Center attacks and featured the following performers, in addition to SY: Tom Verlaine band, Paul Flaherty/Chris Corsano duo, Eileen Myles-Kim-Jim-DJ Olive quartet, Cat Power and a set by DJ Olive. Five new songs that we'd been working on - that later appeared on the Murray Street album - were debuted at this show in nascent forms.

Live in Denver 1986

An all-ager-rager in Denver; I am so glad this one is up cuz my late '80s live-tape-swapping-obsessive self has always been hopped up about this 1986 gig. It was right off a Europe run and a week later flat-splat into a summer Evol USA tour, SY were kicking around in a hot van gigging everywhere, coast to coast and back with the likes of Saccharine Trust and Dinosaur. It's well documented in Lee journals and Thurston's epic/hilarious Forced Exposure tour diary, the latter of which has a great shotgun-seat-sourced pic of T at the wheel as the van left the Lincoln Tunnel behind, off to finally join the trail their newfound SST brothers and sisters were also carving out town to town. Seems like a lot of those tour setlists understandably hit heavy on Evol tracks, even the previous year's Bad Moon Rising tunes took a backseat ("Death Valley '69" reportedly only played once this whole tour). But the Denver kids at the Turnverein (German Castle?) got the band midtour in ferocious form though with only five new tunes, six if you count the later-released "White Kross". The mix on this is perfectly hot-board, guitars skull-split left and right, drums sounding amazing, the whole band almost blurry and slo-mo at times. Very much woozin it up through an especially-psychedelic middle stretch of "Death To Our Friends"/"I Love Her All the Time"/"Flower"/"Green Light" that must have melted stoner kids' brains. You lose sense of which guitar is which as it all congeals into a big trippy gelatinous pile. Then a "Brother James"/"Kill Yr Idols" one-two punch that sounds like the rawest craziest versions I've heard, and finally "Expressway" taking one last peak then cooling it down (then my tape cut off). No knowledge of openers Death Valley Girls, Cage of Reason and Happy Girls, but lots of inspired stuff was in place in Denver's early '80s: Tom Headbanger gigs, Bum Kon, The Frantix, pre-SF Jello. Imagine this to have been a cool event for sure. Blasted this tape a lot in the car and it had a Feelies '86 gig on the other side, so it was especially great to see them together on a bill later in 2008 at Battery Park. Someone I traded with and got this tape from made me a pink tie-dye J-card too which was nice icing on the cake! Hope you like this loud and large set like I do.

Lee has also added some stuff to his bandcamp:


Ambient Loop For Vancouver

These recordings were created utilizing sessions in 2003 with Alan Licht, Christian Marclay and William Hooker, and initially conceived as backing tracks for a live performance by myself and Leah Singer in Vancouver, BC. Four short excerpts were released in 2004 as a 7” on Important Records; each of the 500 copies came with a numbered and signed fine art print as the cover. The following year the full-length piece was released as an exclusive CD which was packaged with select copies of the 10th Anniversary edition of my first book, Road Movies, from Soft Skull Press. In 2015 Important Records released a limited edition of this full piece as a special digi-pak CD. Playing on 'repeat' is encouraged.

North Six: Giffoni​/​Ranaldo​/​O'Rourke

“Hi - there's a new item up on my BC site - a long out-of-print performance by myself, Jim O'Rourke and Carlos Giffoni called "North Six" after the Williamsburg, Brooklyn venue where this August 2003 show took place. Originally released on a 3" CD series by the Antiopic label, it's now available once again, so give it a listen if you are interested! I have more stuff in the works to be uploaded in the near future!

Hope everyone is staying safe out there!
-Lee”

Is this gonna cause a banning flood on the Dime flood? Which will then cause a second wave of uploads with "offending material removed"? And why do they call it "offending" anyway? Sounds like "insulting material removed" to me!

[Chris Lawrence]

Were these versions of "Free City Rhymes" and "100%" released prior to the bandcamp shows they're taken from? Everything else is from a compilation but those two...

The LLPP, based in Durham NC, was founded in 1982 by the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers to curtail epidemic losses of Black-owned land in North Carolina (including farmland and "heirs property," a complex topic hard to explain here, worth a little research if you don't know the term). They are a great and respected organization and we're excited to give."

I get the impression it's the version of Brother James listed there and they've just forgotten to hide it. It's nestled between Confusion and Nature Scene for some reason.
