Northern Routes 15
Richard Davies
The Renderers
Pigeons
Night School
Bunwinkies
This Northern Routes show is a unique opportunity to see legendary New Zealand band The Renderers and Australian Richard Davies (of The Moles and Cardinal) on one stage, along with performances by upstate New York group Pigeons, Night School (Bob Fay of Sebadoh) and Turners Falls' own Bunwinkies.
Richard Davies ~ Although the musical landscape is littered with performers saddled with the sobriquet of "cult musician", the decade of the 90's produced very few such artists; Australian songwriter Richard Davies is one of a handful of notable exceptions. Having formed the psychedelically inclined experimental pop group the Moles in Sydney at the turn of the 1990s, Davies has covered considerable ground over the last 25 years, with The Moles and subsequently as one half of the chamber-pop group Cardinal (formed with multi-instrumentalist Eric Matthews in Boston in the mid 90s) and as a solo artist. Davies' songwriting has attracted the attention and fandom of no less than Robert Pollard (of Guided by Voices) and the Flaming Lips, who have variously performed with Davies live and on record. Davies' latest release is a revival of The Moles by-line, released in the UK and US on the Fire recording label.
The Renderers ~ Another group that can be fairly labelled as "cult", critical darlings The Renderers (New Zealand) found their start on the storied antipodean Flying Nun recording label. Brian and Maryrose Crook have piloted The Renderers through myriad musical line-ups since the early 1990s, all the while maintaining a consistency of sound and vision. Characterised by the sweet melancholy of Maryrose's vocals and the sturm und drang of Brian's atmospheric, feedback-laced guitar, The Renderers are a shadowy, underground institution with dozens of releases, short and long-playing, on such legendary labels as Flying Nun, Silt Breeze, Merge, Drag City, and Ba da bing.
Pigeons ~ Recent Austerlitz, NY transplants, by way of Brooklyn and the Bronx, Pigeons have been hoeing an impressive row over the past ten years as a powerful, acid-rock influenced trio (more recently a quartet with the addition of guitarist Pat Gubler, of Tower Recordings, PG Six, and Metal Mountains) and as collaborators with a bevy of underground names, including Steve Gunn, members of Pelt, and Tony Pasquarosa of Crystalline Roses. The core of Pigeons musical interplay is based around the guitar and vocal of Wednesday Knudsen and the fluidity of the rhythm section of Clark Griffin and Rob Smith on bass and drums, respectively.
Night School ~ A new project led by Easthamptons Bob Fay, previously of Sebadoh and Deluxx.
Bunwinkies ~ Longtime Valley folk experimentalists released their debut lp in 2010 to near universal acclaim. Bunwinkies' sweet, psychedelic naivete will win over even the most cynical of non believers.
