SUNBURNED CIRCLE – The Blaze Game
09.08.2007

 

SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN is a band in the loose sense of the word; it's better described as a banner under which a collective of musical freaks have gathered. So when they toured Europe in September 2006, and ended up in the same room as Psych/Kraut/Hard-rockers CIRCLE in Tampere-Finland, they decide to jam together and record all of it. This session was edited down to a total of 40-minutes which wanders ongoing through free folk, psych, improv, spaced out- hippy jamming & noisy-rock bizareness . The collaboration of both America's & Finland's weirdest, is nothing less than sensational.

SUNBURNED CIRCLE's The Blaze Game – out in September on Conspiracy Records, as a CD and a limited LP.

– The LP comes with a full colour poster and is limited to 750 copies!
– The CD version features one 45 seconds short extra track called ‘Last Song’.

Thanks for the info on the Sunburned Circle release. It's a shame they don't seem to like tour the west coast.

I've read quite a good review of the sunburned circle. I'm cutting back on impulse buys, but I may let than one slip through.

Yeah, I actually witnessed about 20 mins of this when they were doing it last fall. A friend of mine saw it completely and thought it was better than the circle or sunburned gigs that followed it.

I want the vinyl.

I'm most likely going to the tampere gig.

[A Thousand Threads]

Sometimes it's really depressing to read tour dates.

 

WHAT ABOUT US ??????

[sonicl]

But at least they're not playing Switzerland...

[A Thousand Threads]

haha
yeah, that's true.
Fucking Switzerland

[Gulasch Noir]

Last year they played Vienna, the gig was free, not many people came and the ones that came weren't really visibly "moved". I felt a bit a ashamed on that evening, because they did all right to get the crowd moved.

Of course they need to come, though!

[Iain]

I'm going to get the Sunburned/Circle one pretty soon I think. The new one on Smalltown Supersound (or is it Superjazz?) is damn fine.

It looks like that tour schedule is a bit out of date. They've confirmed most of the UK stuff I think. The Cardiff date is at Clwb Ifor Bach with The Voices and S>A>A>B as the support.

The Sunburned Circle one arrived with me this morning. If the rest of the department all go to lunch at the same time I may give it a quick spin while they're out.

[Glice]

May potentially go to the Cardiff one. Still unconvinced by this band, but the legion of people who generally have alright taste liking them makes me think I'm missing something.

Addition and correction on sonicl's post:

- The 10/19 show is at Vera (http://www.vera-groningen.nl/agenda/)
- The 10/26 show is at Bazart (http://www.bazart.nl/); Pokkeherrie and I will probably go and tape.

[sonicl]

Sorry, Mr Rappard, sir. Should I go and sit on the naughty stair?

First impression: Not the all-out psych jam that I was expecting. Has a mildly jazzy feeling to it. It hasn't slipped into a groove in the way that I usually like Sunburned stuff to. Bloody good though.

I think they are probably at their most focussed at the moment with the new record and they are essential live. I am a big fan I would say but I am the first to admit that they have released a vast amount of stuff, not all of it essential. Their discography is a pretty daunting thing to wade through. So come and see them live you massive tit.

[Glice]

If more gigs were advertised by personally calling me a massive tit, I'm entirely certain I'd see a lot more bands than I do.
