| We already noted in PUNKCAST#1159 that TV On The Radio maintain contact with the Brooklyn scene, but Kyp Malone, who is originally from Seattle, also has roots in San Francisco where he played in bands at the end of the 90's. He's a definite aficianado of John Dwyer, a major character in that area. John, known for his stints with art-noise duo Pink & Brown and the maniacal Coachwhips, has also nursed another band over the years. OCS, sometimes known as Orinoka Crash Suite, originally a personal outlet, over four albums or so has graduated to full-blown status with its 2006 effort 'The Cool Death of Island Raiders' on Narnack. Kyp sings backup on the record, and, I suspect, is responsible for recruiting bandmate Dave Sitek to produce. When, in 2007, with a new DIY album 'Sucks Blood' out, they showed up in NYC for a few dates Kyp was right there to open up for them. On a Sunday night at the Cake Shop, I arrived just in time for Kyp's set and got the camera going by the second song. Kyp, while softly spoken, takes no prisoners with his solo shows. His songs are highly metaphoric, emotional, zingers. I've picked 'Desperate Bitch' and the lengthy closer 'You Could Be Love'. The Ohsees, who eschewed the PA system to vocalize through their amps, are kind of hillbilly rager music as Dwyer trades vocals with Brigid Dawson, and guitar rhythms with Petey Dammit. Now, I'm not at all certain that I've titled the songs correctly (Please tell me if not). I've picked the enigmatic 'An Inquiry Perpetrated' and the tuneful 'Block Of Ice'. |
