Jeff Plankenhorn musical performance (2020-Mar-4 @ 8 p.m.)
2020-03-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
"Over the course of the last two decades, Jeff Plankenhorn has worked tirelessly to earn his rep as one of the most reliably can-do, right-dude-for-the-job musicians in Austin, Texas. As an exceptionally talented acoustic, electric, slide, and lap-steel guitarist with a keen understanding of the importance of playing to and for a song rather than all over it, he's been called on countless times to back a veritable who's who of Texas and Americana music's finest singers and songwriters, including Ray Wylie Hubbard, Joe Ely, Eliza Gilkyson, Ruthie Foster, and the late Jimmy Lafave." —Lone Star Music
"Jeff Plankenhorn has become something of an Austin institution, sought after by many artists to lend his musical talents to their albums and performances. Calling him a guitarist doesn't quite do him justice, though. Sure, he's designed his very own guitar — a custom lap steel guitar called, perhaps not surprisingly, "The Plank". Give him just about any stringed instrument, however, and he'll no doubt get it singing… The songs have a wonderful lived-in wanderlust to them, filled with catchy Americana melodies that are served up with airy and freewheeling arrangements. Stylistically, the songs range from the rugged and bluesy 'never Again' to the pop-oriented 'I Don't Know Anything' to the gentle acoustic ballad 'further to Fall'." —Twangville

ADULT., Charmion musical performances
2020-03-06 21:00 - 23:00 | The Haunt, 702 Willow Ave., Ithaca, New York, 14850, United States
Over the course of the last two decades, Detroit-based duo ADULT. (Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) have released six albums and nineteen EPs and singles across some of our favorite labels: Mute, Ghostly International, Thrill Jockey, Clone Records, Third Man Records, and their own label, the revered Ersatz Audio. November 1998 marked their first release: the five-song 12" "Dispassionate Furniture". This September, twenty years later, Dais Records is proud to announce ADULT.'s seventh full length album: THIS BEHAVIOR.
The album began as 23 demos written and recorded in a remote cabin in the woods of Northern Michigan during the dead of winter. In total isolation, and with a reduced amount of gear (a modified version of their live setup) on the cabin's kitchen table, the duo were completely immersed in an incessant inescapable studio of their own making – looping, repetitive analogue sequences grinding away day and night. At the end of the intense demo session, a handful of peers were enlisted by the band for the difficult task of paring down the demos into the final album.
The result is 10 tracks of uncompromising dark electronics, showcasing ADULT.'s return to aggressive and energetic dancefloor mastery. Album opener "This Behavior" alongside the follow-up "Violent Shakes" (which ascends into synths wailing like warning sirens over Kuperus's commanding vocals) set the stage for an on-edge listen, while the heartbreaking "Silent Exchange" unfolds as a beautiful sad synth dirge. "Perversions of Humankind" breaks the mood – driving the listener into a slow and low groove before the frantic album midpoint of "Irregular Pleasure". "Does The Body Know?" is the album's post-punk anthem, with irresistible singalong "we're out of order – we're undefined!" The latter half of the album drives forward with "On The Edge (You Put Meâ€¦)" and "Lick Out The Content", refusing rest and demanding movement and response. "Everything & Nothing" emerges slowly from sparkling synth textures, snowballing with nervous energy into an acid techno stomper before the album comes to a close on the icy landscape of "In All The Debris", a goose-bump inducing slow electronic mantra that closes the curtain on a massive album.

Charmion is a homage to the valiant freaks of an amoral society. In the slums of paradise, Charmion presents romantic and dissociative short tales of the human condition. Using modern electronic mediums such as the synthesizer and vocal harmonization to transform the song based storyteller into a Vaudeville Strongwoman. The point of which to describe the characters of a brothel in a materialistically privileged, yet spiritually empty society. Whose role serves more the function of a temple, where the lost and wounded come to be healed from their suffering by the loving hands of drag sex priestesses and priests. These castouts of society have become it's last true bulwark of compassion and humanity, against a rising tide of isolation, electronic screens, and psychological decay. The freakshow has now become one of the only places to find the more sincere expressions of what it means to be human, and to find oneself. Charmion presents this and more in the slums of paradise.
