The Blinding Light! was an underground cinema which ran from 1998-2003 at 36 Powell Street. Founded by Alex MacKenzie as a follow-up to his Edison Electric Gallery of Moving Images (1995-1997), the space housed a cafe, a gallery and a 110-seat cinema. It showed new and classic underground and avant garde films, hosted nights to bring your own 8mm films and hosted experimental bands with a visual element. Ms T's Cabaret was at 339 West Pender. The building began life as it started life in 1906 as the Myers Hall and later held the city's first purpose-built bowling alley, the Canadian Cycle and Motor Co, the Canadian Legion, the Boilermaker's Hall, and the Marine workers' Pender Auditorium.  During the 1960s the Auditorium was booked by music series, including the Afterthought, and was the site of an early Grateful Dead concert. The building was home to Vancouver's earliest drag bar, BJ's, open from 1970 to 1983, and later, the Vancouver Club Baths also opened in the basement area. After being sold, it took on a western theme as Saddle Tramps before converting to a lesbian bar, Ms. T's, which also had music shows. It was demolished after a fire in 2003. Other venues visited: Pic Pub, The Brickyard. Also discussed: Submission Hold House, Dynamo Gallery Bands discussed: Three Inches of Blood, Hot Hot Heat, Erase Errata, the Need, the Get Hustle, Young People, A Luna Red, Womankind.

The latest Gut Feeling Podcast is an interview with Stephen McBean, a prolific, Vancouver Island-born, Los Angeles-based musician currently making music with Black Mountain and Pink Mountaintops. Back in the mid '90s, though, Steve was briefly a vocalist/co-guitarist in Ex Dead Teenager, a Vancouver quartet whose 1997 demo, It's OK to Laugh at People Wearing Gas Masks, flirted with full-bore hardcore, sludge nihilism, tattered-psyche post-punk melancholia, and impressionistic, synth-skit weirdness. Throughout the talk, Steve gets into: hardcore mêlées at East Vancouver's legendary New York Theatre; writing and recording as a roommates-only project in the basement of the Frances Street punk house; the on-tour implosion of his previous project, Gus; dumpster diving for keyboards; reconnecting with members of Converge and Saviours decades after first meeting them on tour with Ex Dead Teenager; and more. The Gut Feeling Podcast is currently streaming through Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Sounder. You can also check out my interview with Steve on his latest Pink Mountaintops record, Peacock Pools, over at Guitar World.

Pink Mountaintops frontman Stephen McBean has cited many unexpected influences for his first album with the band in eight years, including John Carpenter and David Cronenberg movies, bodybuilding books written by postmodern feminist Camille Paglia and 70s Disney read-along books.He talks from the tour bus en route to Denver, Colorado as part of the band's U.S tour about writing and recording the eclectic new album Peacock Pools (mostly) in lockdown, touring with Dinosaur Jr, David Bowie and the punk scene in his town when he grew up in Canada.

The boys discuss the debut releases from two important Vancouver bands. One is a psychedelic barn-burner—the other, a jangly, Lou Reed-inspired tour de force,  loaded with sex.

La banda está compuesta por Stephen McBean, Amber Webber, Matt Camirand, Jeremy Schmidt y Joshua Wells. Desde su formación en 2004, Black Mountain ha lanzado cuatro LP, Black Mountain (2005), In the Future (2008), Wilderness Heart (2010) y IV (2016), dos EP y varios sencillos, principalmente en el sello Jagjaguwar. . Stephen (Gord) Gordon McBean (n. 1969), nació en Vancouver y creció en Kleinburg y Sidney (BC). De adolescente se interesó por la música y se convirtió en parte de la escena punk-rock local en Victoria. Formó su primera banda, Jerk Ward, en 1981. En 1984, la banda grabó una demo que fue relanzada en 2009 como Too Young To Thrash . La banda se convirtió en Mission of Christ (MOC), que grabó un split 7 "en 1987. Dos años después, la banda se separó y McBean se mudó a Vancouver, donde fundó la banda Gus. Lanzaron dos sencillos, un split EP y un álbum The Progressive Science Of Breeding Idiots For A Dumber Society (1995). La banda le dio a McBean su primera experiencia con giras extensas y luego describió la experiencia como "un poco de ruido, un poco de Melvins , funk, las cosas de Amrep que estaban sucediendo entonces . Muchos gritos. Duró cuatro años ". En 1996 McBean le pidió al baterista Joshua Wells (Radio Berlín) que se uniera a su banda Ex Dead Teenager. Para 1999 se había transformado en un dúo de Wells y McBean como Jerk With a Bomb. Firmaron con Scratch Records y Jagjaguwar en los Estados Unidos y lanzaron tres álbumes: Death To False Metal (1999), The Old Noise (2001) y Pyrokinesis (2003). Este último contó con Amber Webber de Dream en Dreary en la voz. Mientras McBean y Wells todavía actuaban como Jerk With a Bomb en 2003, McBean comenzó a hacer demostraciones de material que incluía la canción "Black Mountain". A principios de 2004, los dos comenzaron a trabajar en las demos bajo el mismo nombre con las contribuciones de Webber, el bajista Matt Camirand y el teclista Jeremy Schmidt. Grabaron el álbum debut homónimo de ocho pistas durante la primera mitad del año. McBean luego describiría el cambio como "fue casi como un lanzamiento. Quiero decir, me encantó Jerk With A Bomb, pero llegué a un punto en el que terminé, terminé con esa parte de mi vida". El primer lanzamiento con el nuevo nombre fue un split 7 "con Destroyer que incluía la canción" Bicycle Man ". El álbum fue lanzado a través de Scratch Records en Canadá en diciembre de 2004, mientras que Jagjaguwar lo lanzó un mes después. La banda realizó una gira. América del Norte y Europa, mientras que en junio se lanzó en Estados Unidos el 12 "single" Druganaut "b / n" Buffalo Swan ". En agosto de 2005, la banda abrió para Coldplay en su Twisted Logic Tour durante tres semanas, con su apertura final en San Diego. En el mismo mes, el álbum fue lanzado en Alemania a través de City Slang Records . Un single de vinilo fue lanzado en abril de 2007 llamado "Surrender Sound Session: Unkle vs. Autolux / Black Mountain" con un remix de "No Hits" en el lado B. Su segundo álbum, In the Future, fue finalista del Polaris Music Prize 2008 y también fue nominado como "Mejor álbum alternativo" en los premios Juno de 2009 . La canción "Stay Free" de In the Future apareció en la banda sonora de Spider-Man 3 . En septiembre de 2010 Black Mountain actuó en un anfiteatro ubicado en los bosques de Oisterwijk en el Incubate (festival) en Tilburg , Holanda. El líder Stephen McBean también encabeza otra banda con un nombre similar, Pink Mountaintops , mientras que Webber toca con la banda Kodiak Deathbeds y Lightning Dust . Varios miembros de la banda han trabajado, durante una década, para organizaciones que cumplen con los requisitos básicos de vida de los crónicamente pobres, adictos a las drogas y enfermos mentales en el vecindario del Downtown Eastside de Vancouver , como Insite . En una entrevista, la banda dijo: "Después del trabajo, todos tratamos de no pensar demasiado en el efecto que tiene en nuestras vidas. Nos mantiene en la tierra".

I'm not normally into comps but a few standouts have been released over the last few weeks. First up is the all femme-psyche comp My Estrogeneration on Not Not Fun, featuring blog mainstays Zola Jesus, US Girls, Valet, Pocahaunted, Tickley Feather, and Inca Ore, and a bunch of relative newcomers who haven't released much (or anything) or have been under most listeners radars--HNY, Topaz Rags and Talk Normal (feat. Blevin Blectum and Sumara Lubelski). Despite the wide range of vibrations picked up here, from the industrial hymns of Zola Jesus to the floating web of of HNY to the cavernous psych secretions of Topaz Rags, this comp flows easily from each track to the next. Highly recommended stuff, all of which is exclusive to this LP. Speaking of femme mystique, my ears were recently perked up by the Minneapolis via LA duo Tropic Of Cancer and their sadly out of print 10" EP, The Dull Age. Two tracks of dark 'n hypnotic chant-filled drones, most reminiscent of pre-dubbed-out Pocahaunted, and maybe with a sprinkling of Portishead. Camella Lobo, lead enchantress of the duo, has an excellent blog worth a regular peep here. Back on to the subject of comps, Secret Seven has just released an LP of unreleased tracks by various San Franciscan bands. Regular readers of this here blog will no doubt be familiar with The Fresh & Onlys, The Sandwitches, Sonny & The Sunsets, Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall and Grass Widow, but there are plenty of tracks from newer or lesser known acts. A track by new band Exrays is the biggest surprise, which initially came off a little like a Tim Cohen (also featured on the comp) song. After a little research (and bugging Secret Seven for answers), I found that The Exrays are a new band lead by Ray's Vast Basement's Jon Bernson. According to his Wikipedia page we can expect an Exrays full length soon, and it'll feature contributions by--surprise, surprise!--The Fresh & Onlys' Tim Cohen. After a little more reading it looks like the two are also in a group called Window Twins, who released an LP in 2008 on Broken Twilight. This is all news to me, but looks like AQ is carrying this one. Anyways, In A Cloud is limited to 500 copies, so if yr a fan of any of the above I highly recommend tracking this one down.Sweet Rot has started the year off correct with 2 new 7 inches and their first full length LP. After two years of releasing a coupla satisfyin' 7 inches on labels like Severed Hands and Hozac, a 10 incher on Kill Shaman and a handful of cassettes, Richmond, Virginia's Nerve City finally get down to a full length release (pictured at top of the post), and it was well worth the wait. Comprised of recordings from 2007-2008, this collection is a varied, yet cohesive, batch of lurch 'n stomp-style rock reminiscent of early Velvets, dark 'n twangy surf rippers, and some rougher garage blues numbers. Fans of past Sweet Rot releases, particularly the now classic Meth Teeth 7 inch, oughta be lining up for this one asap. Absolute highest recommendation. Watch out for future NC releases on Sacred Bones, a split 7 inch with Flight on Needless and a split cassette with Florida's Tee Pee.Sweet Rot also launched two new 7 inches in the same week. Over the last few years Metz, France has been bustling over with releases by Anals, A.H. Kraken and Feeling Of Love, the latter of which drop this overdriven and infectious 7 inch and simultaneously release an LP on Kill Shaman. Not sure how a city of 125, 000 manages to come up with three exciting garage and punk bands, but if they keep pumping out high quality releases, I'll keep buyin´.Alabama's Amber Alerts whip up three tracks of lo-fi drum machine-driven synth punk with nicely placed low end bass grooves, which makes a bit of sense considering they share members with the like-minded Wizzard Sleeve. Though I wasn't quite as juiced on the recent Wizzard Sleeve LP on Hozac, it appears as if I can rest easy knowing the Amber Alerts are pickin' up the slack.Vancouver's own Von Bingen quietly released an LP late last year, and I was finally able to track down this ironically difficult to find record. Featuring Josh Stevenson (aka Magneticring, ex-Jackie-O-Motherfucker and Pink Mountaintops member, and head of the always-amazing FM Shades blog), Daniel and Jennie Pace Presnell (Feed and Seed Records), and Richard Smith, Von Bingen do some serious time traveling (backwards and forwards), visiting the ghosts of Kluster, Suicide and probably a bunch of them oddball records regularly seen on FM Shades. Walls of dense motorik kosmiche are explored here with the lead taken by some vintage synths that I'm not even gonna pretend I know anything about. You can track this one down at fine online retailers like Mimarogalu, Volcanic Tongue and Eclipse. Damn good company to be keeping. You can also buy this at their sporadic live appearances here in our fair city. Well worth tracking down.Olde English Spelling Bee dropped three LP re-issues of some recent "classic" cassette releases. Most notably is the released last year tape by Matrix Metals, which garnered many favorable reviews online, including Tinymixtapes ("the perfect soundtrack to the shittiest summer of your life") and Rose Quartz ("neo-primitive retro-futuristic FUN that oozes out of these claps and plastic beats), where it made it to number 1 on their best of '09 cassette list. I played it on the show several times and always got a positive, yet head scratching, response (fellow DJ Luke Meat said it "sounded like we had tuned into an alien pirate radio rave station"). All in all,pretty damn good responses for initially being limited to 100 copies. Check this recent video taken from the cassette/LP releaseMATRIX METALS "FLAMINGO BREEZE, PART 4" from OESB // FUTURE SOUND on Vimeo.Other reissues include a classic by James Ferraro (Skaters, Lamborghini Crystal, Vodka Soap) and a blinked-and-you-missed-it cassette from the mysterious Outer Limits Collective, who count Sam Meringue (aka Matrix Metals) as a member. All three are worth the dough and should be readily available at many of the above mentioned suppliers.In other local action, ETMS faves solars have released another fine cassette, this time issued on the newly launched Vacant Tapes label, run by the head of the always amazing Scrapyard Forecast and the metal and drone manipulator known as Empress. First release, though numbered as the second release on the label (when is that first one coming out??), is a lengthy, side-long synth and guitar drone-out. It never really blasts off, but leaves the listener gripping in dread.
