WEIRD COOL SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT

I almost forgot that I'm playing a weird cool show tomorrow night at the Towne Lounge. you should totally come! its gonna be something. i don't know what - but something.
This is set up by the Willamette Week/ Localcut.com's Michael Byrne. I guess when the old music editor of the willi week took off he handed the torch of this weird show/live interview concept to Michael and now he's running with it. He told me it was going to be like Inside the Actor's Studio, or perhaps Will Ferrel's impression of such, only for musicians and with the musicians actually playing some music in between all the awkward fidgeting and grand, surrealist question and answer. something like that. probably more sincere and nice. And all to be recorded for broadcast, rodcast, zod cast and dodcast via localcut, PRA(the portland radio authority) and tablesturned.com (who, btw, i am STILL waiting to drop the second two days of PDXPOP fest recordings on their site..)

anyway, here is the info from Byrne via the willamette week:

Portland Lounge Series: White Rainbow, Ethan Rose, Ilyas Ahmed

Towne Lounge | 714 SW 20th Place, 241-8696 [map]
[AMBIENT/CHATTY] This is the second installment of the Portland Lounge Series, in which one of WW's Local Cutters (check out LocalCut.com to get acquainted) gathers three prime characters in Portland music and chats them up onstage, then lets 'em loose. This month leans toward—nay, plunges into— the local ambient/psych scene. White Rainbow, a.k.a. Adam Forkner, is nothing short of ubiquitous in Portland at the moment: It's hard to walk five blocks on any given night without catching a blissful echo. Ethan Rose made my favorite record of 2005, Ceiling Songs, a disc of music boxes and player pianos effected into sublime ambience. And Ilyas Ahmed, a recent import, has integrated himself into our local musicscape quicker than imaginable. He's fresh off a tour with Xiu Xiu and Grouper, so there should of plenty of good tales to match the good vibes. This also marks my first time onstage for longer than five minutes...ever. Please don't laugh if I piss myself. MICHAEL BYRNE. Towne Lounge. 9:30 pm. Free. 21+.
