Mv & Ee
Temporary Capital Of Awesomeness / Get Stoned Hard / Barbarian Blitz
Heroine Celestial Agriculture
howdy COM-RADs, been awhile since we blasted a nice price MV/EE 3 fer so here you go. lots to DIG here, alpha lyrae hairy extensions, space homesteads, alpine frequencies. aside from the jams, most importantly these recent shows highlight the developments in our mobile fidelity spectrasound system, tapers section is full swinging pig. there are two festival shows -> one from the catskills at the LODGE event that our old friends at WGXC put on, does anybody remember brooklyn pirate radio and free103point9…well they reared their blessed heads higher than a loft transfiguring us under the stars and driving range. alotta drive in the amps as well…great bill, groovy times captured herein with extendoid riffage aplenty. the other festival is the sweet homegrown FUTURE FEST in our big city brattleboro, VT. the one and only…here we transmit inside a stone church and our host said it became "the temporary capital of awesomeness". sweet tone…hear it and be there now. the third jammer is from the iron horse music hall in northampton, it was our "record release" for alpine tenement…byron coley's feeding tube delivery service delivered the payload. this gig is all money shot, yesterdays sound now. as one long time COMmie/MV & EE head says…"gotta say, matt, that this recent bunch of shows are truly out of the top drawer - great, great sound". this fella lives near the northern lights…he's onto somethin'…get brighter now too.

In the autumn of 2012 MV & EE were roastin' venues across the great divide on the deep space circuit (and beyond). This memphis hoot was about 1/3 in on their major "coast to roast" tour, flyin' free(k) flag flutter, flannel amps and good ol' US blues with multitrack tapes/matrices to prove it. the duo exchanges on this ride were monumental demarcations and this one brings you SO THERE, it's like you were sitting with headphone monitors for a private showcase (literally) of their far reaching music, which at this point is now at a legendary peak. should you need an introduction, extended jams/exploratory tunes meet alien vocal contact and explosive fuzz drenched "acoustic" folk forms…then there is the raga off trail. this becomes the earth for them to jettison wings into what might seem like "no direction (home)" but actually is clear articulation & yet never played the same way twice. dig it…LISTEN to their live shows, they have to be heard to be believed. the deployment of the compositions on this HEROINE document a watershed period of MV & EE and they have moved beyond their early influences (help yourself/jerry garcia/charles plymell) to become unique masters. Matt & Erika flying on a general out of SOMEWHERE untouchable freedom rag with weirdness & execution that literally blows away most contempo units trying to mine the same sonic depths. no COMpetition. there's a vibe at this show that is totally outta time and once again proves that there can be...

STORMCOCKNEY: this was the first set of two at the esteemed "cafe oto" in london. a groovy room...marshall allen's arkestra was also playing there in the same month and erika and i said hello to him at the airport on our flight over. we were really feelin' the love at this set, the room was packed and electrified plus we had mick flower and the doozer on board for bangers and mash. a rare release issued on the HEROINE U.K. imprint, not many of these were manufactured and distribution was limited to the merch table and the deep connects (with Volcanic Tongue leading the pack). now you too can grip this rising storm as if you were sittin' right there in hackney with us. GIS A JOB (no homemade slop): not quite live at leeds but equally near the airport of intimate sonics. this was a great DIY show at "the vicarage", which was a house show for heads. bridget hayden and the ashtray navigations were also on the bill, what a gig! we rolled as a trio with mick and this is another one of those "nights" on the "steal yr slice" tour which began back in glasgow with "i left my wallet in the trossachs". in fact, all the shows in this "nice price 3 fer" were launched from that tour. for those familiar with that ride, this plaster is way more of the up close and personal variety. this is as near as we'll ever...

Nice vibe = a nice price 3 fer from MV & EE and all their open roads - lovingly restored for YOU from a sweet spot in the tapers pit. Dig this triad courtesy of Heroine Celestial Agriculture, THE spectrasound you've come to know and love from this division of Child Of Microtones. You are immersed and right there, right now: TOASTED COOKIE: we respectfully call the goose/moloney rhythm section of the golden road "the toasted clam", partially in honor of the clamtones, always in honor of toasting and fully cos you never know where it is gonna open up with this unit. hard to net the sound and we always try to set sail. we'd been playing together as a quartet and beyond for awhile, even way before the "TOASTED CLAM" disc from which rounds out this trilogy...this set is lovingly referred to as the "toasted cookie" cos in many ways it is a reprise of the spirit found at the classic electric issue set. it was a wild evening, crystalline roses laid down some sik solo strings, zebu let it rip with high harmonix and the family underground were in town - KILLER - yeah that kinda nite! all synapses were firing on redemption and then some, we were gettin' gone. yeah we've been playin' together since even before THAT double LP. thurston was in the tapers pit, he said somethin' like "youse sound good in this room". we even pulled out the burden, burn den indeed.

Nice vibe = a nice price sweet spot 3 fer from MV & EE and all their open roads. Here are three beautiful documents courtesy of Heroine Celestial Agriculture, THE spectrasound and the tapers pit you've come to know and love from this division of Child Of Microtones. You are immersed and right there: DOUBLE DOUBLE RAW - you can really hear the good ol' bear, i.e. owsley, take its toll and bring out the best of us at this beautifully ragged and raw show from toronto circa our "gettin' gone" gone fishin' tour. this was a ramble when we rolled out to terrastock and we were doing two sets or two nights whenever possible. dig the legendary local hoot advertised in the original double LP gatefold...two nite stand among a week of karaoke. real people...real jams. always a fine trip with the canada goose riders of the golden road and we even got eric chenaux to stand up when he boogied at this set. MV/EE/DOC/MUSKOX/ANDERSON/CHENAUX TERRASTOCK RAGA - sweet drone and stately environments on the impromptu "acoustic" stage at terrastock 7. we got into some deep, everybody humming away into the unimind...many are one! MV/EE/TIM BARNES/WILLIE LANE/DOC/MUSKOX GENE POOL - an unbelievable transmission from this duo exchange in the deep south on the "drone trails" tour. while i breathe, i hope. gotta love it when one of the punters requests "the uranian ray". fried like only south carolina can...just wait 'til we hit shreveport, LA.

“This is was our 2nd night of a two night residency in Penryn, Cornwall - one of my (many) favorite places to visit and play in the UK. Great people and great vibe, this was the philosophy of the "Steal Yr Slice" tour. Kath Bloom was opening up both nights which was a real treat... we were invited down to hang out and to do two "different" sets, the first night was acoustic based and this "Freak Flag" set was our electric set, totally different material, full on quartet with drums. Long may it wave.” --Matt Valentine
