Found out through Miho's blog about a one-off show the other night at this new venue called the Bell House. Located only a couple of miles from our own place in the industrial area of Gowanus (kind of an armpit of the area). Inside, we were treated to a great show, a memorial in honor of Connie Converse, a local songwrite who suddenly disappeared in 1974, leaving behind a legacy of music. Miho was among the group of performers there to cover it.
The Miho set, which started around 10, was certainly entertaining AND totally brown! The lineup consisted of a nervous Miho armed with a Protools macbook, an accordion / moog japanese player (Shoko?), and this American cellist who looked like the bride of Frankenstein. The set was two cover songs by Connie Converse, and then 4 tracks from the new album, which were all much more jamming Protools sessions. 2 of which, took a few tries to get off the ground. One song got stopped at like 1:30 in, and they went back to start and redid it - the look on the supporting musicians face was a priceless you're fucking kidding us, right?
Some slammin' new beats for sure though! I'll take a free live set with debut material any day of the week. Looking forward to the new album.
