Guitarist Davie Allan Releases Some ‘Fuzz for the Holidays’
Steven Cuevas: In the same way that Dick Dale is known as the “King of Surf Guitar,” Davie Allan is the “King of the Fuzz Guitar.” Allan was the guy behind those biker movie soundtracks in the 1960’s. The rumble he played influenced scores of other guitar players. The reclusive guitar pioneer from Orange County has a new CD of fuzzed-out Christmas songs, just in time for the holidays.

Gavin Bryars is an unreconstructed romantic, producing luscious, velvety music that luxuriates in the beauty of tonal harmony. Much of the music is profoundly sad: textures throb, melodies soar. Saturday’s evening concert of four works dating from 1983 to today showed how stylistically consistent Bryars has remained. Incipit Vita Nova (1989) for male alto (movingly sung by Hilliard supremo, David Jones) and three strings, celebrates the birth of a friend’s child. The young Canadian soprano, Valdine Anderson, earned an immediate “bravo” for her stunningly pitched and freshly delivered Adnan Songbook, Bryars’s latest work, a cycle of eight love poems on texts by Etel Adnan, five of which received their premieres on Saturday. Anderson delivered Adnan’s evocative texts with rounded musical phrasing, hitting occasionally stratospherically high notes without strain. Bryars’s work is scored for low instruments - two violas, cello, double bass, guitar and bass clarinet - allowing the voice to radiate. The text seems to have encouraged a wider view, the harmonic palette is expanded, the emotional message deeply felt: a good omen for the forthcoming opera. The Gavin Bryars Ensemble excelled.

Presumably, drink-sodden viewers were sufficiently stirred by her stint on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny to send the album back up the charts, abetted by the Standard making “You Know I’m No Good” its single of the week, no doubt.

Oasis, meanwhile, are set to receive an Outstanding Contribution to Music gong, endorsing a band of musical luddites whose excellent debut album inaugerated an era of lumpen pub rockers suspicious of anything vaguely musically adventurous. So can we put in an early bid for Showaddywaddy getting something next time round?

This Week in Le Rock: December 24-30
Gearing up for the big New Year’s Eve bash, several artists are playing mini-residencies (two or three night stays) this weekend including: Cracker, The Radiators and ALO. If you schedule correctly, you could probably see everything that you want. Though New Year’s Eve has some rocking concerts, we are going to cover those shows later in the week. For now, let’s focus on Popscene’s continued success in picking the perfect bands for their Thursday night soirées at 330 Ritch Street. Though they didn’t make the Popscene’s Top 20 Hottest Acts, this week it’s L.A.’s indie-rock band, Division Day. (Maybe they’ll have a chance for next year’s list!) Division Day has had a full schedule this year: releasing several awesome remixes including Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence“, touring across the country making stops in San Francisco earlier in September and released a new CD entitled, Beartrap Island. They’re on a roll and it’s time to celebrate their successes; they’ll be partying over at Popscene on Thursday. Saturday includes one of our favorite San Francisco’s artists, Persephone’s Bees. With the 2006 release of Notes from the Underworld, Persephone’s Bees are still gaining a lot of attraction from their quirky Russian-influenced pop music. They just recorded the “Little Boxes” theme song from the hit Showtime TV show, “Weeds” which aired in October. The best part about this is they are opening for The Psychedelic Furs, the punk-rockers from the late seventies into the early nineties. They’re back and they are still rocking thirty years later. Damn. Take the jump for a full listing… FULL LISTINGS:Monday, December 24:Tuesday, December 25:Wednesday, December 26: Reverend Horton Heat with Hank III and Nashville Pussy @ Fillmore, $35 Thursday, December 27: Division Day @ Popscene, $10* The Finches @ Hemlock Tavern, $7 Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven @ The Independent, $22 Conflict @ Slim’s, $16 La Plebe @ Bottom of the Hill, $10 Friday, December 28: Boy in the Bubble @ Hotel Utah, $7 Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven @ The Independent, $22 X and The Hooks @ Slim’s, $30 Jackie Greene with Sherman Baker @ Great American Music Hall, $21 Jet Boy @ Bottom of the Hill, $8 The Radiators @ Cafe du Nord, $35 CD Release Party: Rademacher @ Rickshaw Stop, $8 The Guilty Hearts @ Hemlock Tavern, $6 Saturday, December 29: The Psychedelic Furs with Persephone’s Bees @ Mezzanine, $30* The Blind @ Hotel Utah, $7 ALO, Culver City Dub Collective and Guadalajara Joe @ The Independent, $20 X and The Hooks @ Slim’s, $30 Particle with Robby Krieger @ Great American Music Hall, $20 Kai Kln @ Bottom of the Hill, $12 The Radiators @ Cafe du Nord, $35 Dogman Joe @ Rickshaw Stop, $10 Brian Setzer Orchestra @ Paramount Theatre, $68, $50 Hiss Golden Messenger @ Hemlock Tavern, $8 Sunday, December 30: ALO and Mojow & the Vibration Army @ The Independent, $20 The Radiators @ Cafe du Nord, $35 Album Release Party for Dave Armo @ Hotel Utah, $12 * We recommend!

I threw all my shit in the car and left to my dad’s. The CD was awesome and I loved some of the new songs. It did have some skipping and stopping. The cd itself was garbage….
