Photos and words by Brittany Kalaj Margulieux A false start and some aggravating technical difficulties for Buke and Gase had the dedicated crowd at The Echo holding their breath. Issues were fixed and Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez performed flawlessly with their Frankenstein-ed "toe-bourine," "buke," and "gase." Ahleuchatistas performed with a zen Shane Perlowin on guitar an unbelievabley active and percussive Ryan Oslance. At times, Oslance was performing with all limbs and his teeth. Fucking insanity. The 8-piece, Orange County based Moon Pearl opened the night. [...]

![BUKE AND GASE PLAYED TO FULL HOUSE AT BOWERY BALLROOM [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4759932_lg.jpg)
Photos by Ethan Feuer With the potential exception of STATS , it's almost impossible to tack genres onto any of the performances at the Bowery Ballroom on January 30. Wonderfully consonant despite their complete disregard for musical convention, each act built on the next until Buke and Gase (effusive Arone Dyer and the stoic, focused Aron Sanchez) finally took the stage to an ecstatic full house. Even in the middle of a grueling tour, the band's enthusiasm for the venue and the home crowd was obvious. When Dyer came [...]
Brooklyn experimental duo Buke and Gase play Johnny Brenda's tonight. Evolving out of punk / noise band Hominid, Buke and Gase members Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez make angular, dissonant post-rock with with elements of chamber folk.

Aron Sanchez and Aron Dyer, the same-named duo better known as NY piece Buke and Gase , are pulling themselves up. After years of twisting obscurity and figuring out their own mechanized ambitions, the two pieced together the metallic churn of Riposte in 2010. Despite the size, as I've noted before , the two cull their sounds to seem bigger than themselves. [...]

Chief Keef's gun range Pitchfork interview cost him 2 months in juvie for violating probation while Meyhem Lauren struck back at the 'fork with the diss track, "The Laurenovich Angle (Fuck Pitchfork)".

With a moniker that screams "enigma," Asheville, North Carolina instrumental rock duo Ahleuchatistas belong to the beyond-category sector of such iconic, genre-flouting combos as John Zorn's Naked City, Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, Swans, Tortoise, and Sun City Girls. A duo armed only with guitar and drums, Ahleuchatistas combine wicked precision with intense abandon, droll humor with analytical construction, and a sly gregariousness with uncompromising vision. This pair interweaves elements of punk rock, jazz, classical music, speed metal, grindcore, progressive rock, noise, folk musics from Asia and North Africa, electronic music, and ambient aesthetics, along with volatile, unpredictable improvisation, flowing organically in a virtual world of their [...]

With a name that practically begs discussion, North Carolinian band Ahleuchatistas delight in confounding expectations.

Watch the newly released video for Poison -cut "Lighted Stairs" below. As a post-Thanksgiving bonus, enjoy another track from Heads Full of Poison .

Heads Full of Poison is the kind of record that will push you into action, even just the action of listening. Because there's lots to hear on this record, lots to sift through. Moving from a trio to a duo before the release of their last album, Location Location, seems to have been a freeing experience for Ahleuchatistas' Shane Perlowin and Ryan Oslance. That album was their most expansive yet, a natural build on the tight squalls of their earlier records. Things became less about breakneck shifts, less about surgically sharp guitar riffs, and more about, as the [...]
In the nearly 10 years that Asheville, NC’s Ahleuchatistas have been exploring the realms of electric jazz, rock, and avant, personnel shifts have taken the group from a trio to a two-piece. Today, Ahleuchatistas is composed of original charter member Shane Perlowin, performing double duty on guitar and bass, and drummer/percussionist Ryan Oslance, who joined the group on its 2009 release Of the Body Prone. On the group’s seventh release, Heads Full of Poison, Perlowin and Oslance produce a sonic assault that at once maintains Ahleuchatistas’ well-deserved reputation of boundary-slashing fusion while also proving that the band [...]

For my apologies / frame of mind when making the list - check the mentions post : Some notes : Hate to sound like a white suburban teenager, but the hazy lo-fi sounds of Matt Mondanile & friends has been the soundtrack to this year. Beware! too much of this will make you think that you live in a two storey prefab with American siding, have a bunch of lazy teenagers in trucker caps as friends and make love to sleazy girls at the beach. Which is quite the contrary to what [...]
