The basic premise of the Brendan Canty produced series of dvd's is - find a house that is about to be demolished, set up a camera crew and then have eight or nine bands come through every hour on the hour to play one song. Volume 1 of the series, shot in Washington, DC, documented the likes of Q and Not U, Bob Mould , Ted Leo and Medications. Volume 2 takes us to Chicago where indie-rock producer Bob Weston has gathered nine bands, including his own Shellac for a day of music in a house slated for demolition.
Track Listing
The Lonesome Organist “Catching Flies With Teeth”
Pit Er Pat “ The Bog Man”
Shellac “Steady As She Goes”
The Ponys “Shadow Box”
Wilco “Muzzle Of Bees”
Tight Phantomz “Ninja Talk”
Freakwater “Jewel”
Red Eyed Legends “Je M’appelle Macho”
Tortoise “Salt The Skies”
The film is shot beautifully in high definition (as was volume one) and the sound recording is fantastic. Standout performances include Wilco and Tight Phantomz, whose singer-guitarist, Mike Lust, worships at the altar of David Lee Roth, Dexter Romweber and Jack Black. The highlight performance, however, is Tortoise whose avant/indie/cool jazz/space, however you want to classify it, was jaw dropping (plus they’re bringing the xylophone back, which is cool).
