International Roundearth Society Party
“Smile Before you File”- BagpipesFAO presents three live bands:
TIMBILA [tim-BEE-lah] reinvents some of the most beautiful music traditions of Zimbabwe and Mozambique with an East Village edge. The hypnotic dream melodies of mbira soar with stinging guitar riffs, violin lines drawn from mbira, and celestial ancient vocal harmonies, in a deep meld of African spirituality, funky grooves, and expressive pop. No other band sounds like TIMBILA. https://www.facebook.com/timbilaband/, https://timbila.bandcamp.com/, https://www.reverbnation.com/timbila
SYLVIA PLATYPUS
If Edith Piaf partied with the Yardbirds on a windswept moor, the result might sound something like Sylvia Platypus. Sylvia Platypus is Philadelphia's (and possibly the world's) only psycho-celtic glam-blues band. Take the distinctive vocals and unusual poetic sensibility of Janet Bressler, add the soul-searing lead guitar work of Bill Barone (formerly of the 1970's era German progressive rock band Wallenstein), the magic of Phillip McMillan's violin, the solid rhythmic foundation of Ruchama Bilenky (bass) and Quirky Tom Theurer (drums) and throw in some wailing highland and uilleann piping from Charlie Rutan ("the Eddie Van Halen of bagpipes"*) and you have an original sonic signature that rattles the cage of “genre". https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sylvia-platypus-ep/482731289, https://www.reverbnation.com/sylviaplatypus, www.sylviaplatypus.com
HAWK TUBLEY & THE OZYMANDIANS: with Andres Villamil on bass, Mike “Luxor” Szekely on drums, and Dave Cope on keys. Hawk Tubley’s most recent album, Pond Kings In April, is a genre-bending mix of indie rock, cowboy folk, and good, old-fashioned rock‘n’roll, featuring exceptional songwriting and musicianship. Hawk Tubley & The Ozymandians join elements of folk, jazz, pop, and punk, resulting in an original sound with a psychedelic twist that is at once familiar, strange, and fun. You can find them on Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, etc. www.hawktubley.com, https://hawktubley.bandcamp.com, https://www.facebook.com/HawkTubley
