I’ll never forget the first time that Alex Bleeker approached me about engineering a show for his band Real Estate. He told me it was their third gig, and they really just wanted to sound like they were underwater. Since then, Real Estate have found themselves on some big sites and considered pioneers of the lo-fi scene. I was lucky enough to engineer another show for them last week, and they played one solid ass set. It was crazy to hear how well their sound has evolved over the last year. Every song they played was magic. Bonus closing with their version of Mountain Man’s Animal Tracks.
One of the best parts of the show was a set by Twigz, the neo-psychedelic/experimental brainchild of Tom Greenberg. I’ve been able to hear snippets from his No Picnic EP, and I really think it’s gonna leave some deep impressions in a lot of people. Lots of chaos combined with something beautiful. Hopefully they’ll be able to hit some cities when the EP is complete.

Twiglet and Chunk… oh FUCK. those rapscallions take all the rap, chop it up all nice and dicey, add some olive oil (so they claim, but I’m convinced it’s real butter) and what do you know? All of a sudden they’ve cooked up a storm with the scallions thrown in before any opportunity to object! Don’t get me started on Robes and Kripples. Those bitches just don’t know when to stop with the fake blood and doll heads (we all know their little dance routine). Believe me, I’ve witnessed this whole charade twice: once in the shrubs behind Kilpatrick house (at night, no less), and another time during open-swim hour at the Red Hook public pool. This band, this TWIGZ mentality, it’s destroying our youth in the most wonderful way. TWIGZ– the whole gang– (Twiglet, Chunk, Soul Sista, Kripples, and even the Buttmunchers in Amherst) they know no end to the chlorinated chaos they’ve borne forth. God Bless these noble rockateers.
