im going to see pita this thursday night he is performing in a "mini-chapel" in a church here in philadelphia - the venue only holds 50 people and should be pretty damn sweet if you ask me !!! |
||||||||

it's that rehberg guy right? the mego owner..he sure put out some excellent stuff! i saw mego's hecker (or is it hacker?) a while ago, he did a noisy set, probably one of the most annoying sets i've heard live and i heard plenty! (haswell, merzbow,..). pita is perhaps my second favourite on mego, right after hecker, should be good! |

yeah - i like how his stuff has more texture and is prettier than most noise guys - im going to be sitting in a church watching this...should be interesting hecker is on mego there is also a tim hecker who makes really stupid "techno" the thing im most curious about is what the audience will be like - ill probably be the youngest cat in there - probably be all older hipster types - maybe ill meet a cute chick there...hahaha...i doubt it! |

personally i like tim hecker quite a bit! seeing him live was one of better experiences i must say. what have you heard from him? as i don't really see it as stupid trechno.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait...maybe im confusing him w/ hacker...shit i dont remember i used to be friends with a trance dj who lived in montreal and said he liked hacker (or hecker?) and i said i had heard a live set i liked, all noise, he gave me a cd and it was this really shitty house type crap... i probably have no idea what im talking about - and artists should stop naming themselves so fucking similarly |

yeah, you probably thought hacker..the one producing stuff for miss kittin..electro clash sort of thing..boring. there are also florian and maximilian heckers who also make electronic music but i don't like either of them.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that Hecker and Florian Hecker are the same person. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could be..there's too many of them to keep track :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah anyone who makes music for kompakt is useless |

so on my way home from work i picked my friend up a ticket and purchased "doolittle" by the pixies on vinyl good end to a day tomorrow night is this show...i hope its good...ill report here directly after ! |

i wanted to go to this show but i didn't want to miss class. (i have class on thursday nights) the only way i was going to miss school was if it was announced that hecker (of mego) was going to play with him, but it's just pita. also, dillinger escape plan is playing that same night in the main area (along with between the buried and me and horse the band) i'd have like to have seen dillinger as well (this is sold out currently) how the pita show didn't sell out is beyond me. i know not many people have probably heard of him, but it's only 50 people. have fun! :) |

i wanna take pics but wont have a digital camera until after christmas...shiot... curbcreeper - according to his website "theflashbulb" is opening for dillinger e.p. tonight - only thing is thats downstairs in the first unitarian basically DURING the pita show !!! - but the flashbulb isnt on any flyers nor is he on the www.r5productions.com website ill let you all know how it is...im anxious |

so's i went to the show's... the turnout was pathetic, but philly isnt much for interesting events - the dilinger escape plan show seemed to have tons of people (which made me giggle) and supposedly the flashbulb did open - when i asked a kid manning the door for pita he said: "the flash-what?, oh the autechre guy, yeah he played, or someone with a name close to that" yikes, poor benn pita played in a mini-chapel which was effing sweet - the sound was great, not too loud, not too quite, etc - his set was noise but really well done and had MANY pretty ambient tones throughout it...i was impressed - it was short though...like 30 minutes short pita is a friendly guy too - he was walking around before his show (and even though i tried to avoid this) i was the first person there - he told me stories about russell haswell, flying, washington dc, and drinking in pubs in england - nice guy, good show, highly recommend anyone to see him !!! i recorded some of it on my phone but doubt ill be able to salvage it for anyones use but my own - shame you couldnt make it curb creeper - had anyone from this site been there i was the kid third from the front, right side, wearing a run dmc sweatshirt...i doubt anyone was though |

yes, Florian Hecker is the Hecker that's on Mego. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
so he basically took more time to tell you stories than he did for the gig? that is quite odd.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

please tell us more about pita's good old stories: mego is a lovely label (the latest hecker/haswell ep is really good, destroying your ears but still more than good / Hecker & Haswell are playing live soon in london, using Xenakis software). saw haswell playing live last spring : short to the point (20min) too but i was quite impress by the sound of it, kind of more mature than the live salvage cd. total immersive music. |

i wish more things of this nature (more experimental less "idm" or whatever) came around philly more often, or the states in general i should say - i always get so envious when i have to read about the gigs people get to see in europe ! |
