quite an interesting evening of music last night
with the hauntingly beautiful vanishing peoples of the earth and our very own
Nu Cultures featuring Ellie Perez…this group hasn’t played since last summers concert in the park at Rittenhouse Square…we’re in the middle of mixing the new album and this was a great opportunity to try out some new songs and a few older ones with this phenomenal band…the show came off well, but soundwise on stage really bad…couldn’t hear vocals, or instrument mix..the 5 spot needs to seriously upgrade their monitors and soundsystem if they’re gonna continue live music…show highlights: ellie perez bjork-like stage vibe, monica mcintyre cello on ‘nowhere’, ‘on the rise’ live sailed up w a great mark boyce rhodes workout…definitely a struggle
for us soundwise…but the dancing audience really dug it… so there you go…Helene from Les Nubians was here and it was wonderful to reconnect with her…new Philadelphians, y’know! Lady Alma also was in the house checkin things out… a really nice turnout for our performance…thanks to everyone that came out and showed support!! thanks to ivan ross + crew for putting this great nite together. hope to do it again.
