Katharsis Sept. 26 '10


Tonight Memory Screen played live on Katharsis. Download the mp3 or ogg full show recording.

They were in to promote their upcoming CD release Sept. 30 at the Marquee Room. Memory Screen is an exciting new local 'post-rock' (for lack of a better term) project headed up by uber-talented Calgary musician Mark Webber. For his live shows he's assembled an impressive group of players: Alex Kurth - guitar (Lint, Monkey, etc.), Henry Hsieh - Bass (Monkey, Beja Floer, etc.), Jeff Macleod - percussion (The Cape May, Pale Air Singers, etc.), and Clea Anaïs - Cello (The Consonant C, Thighs, Dojo Workhorse, Woodpigeon, Brock Geiger, etc.) During their relatively short incarnation they have already created quite a bit of buzz around town with their dynamic and super-tight live show.

The show went like this: Christopher Bissonnette - Travelling Light, Tim Hecker - Arctic Lover's Rock (Part 2) + The Work of Art in the Age of Cultural Overproduction, Mark Templeton - Broken & Remade, Arden - Grafted Guitars of Unopened Train Doors, Ian D. Hawgood - No Clouds, Memory Screen (live in studio performance) - Mt. Kuro, Traqq, NLF, and Cycles (all from the free download only full-length album Memory Screen), M. Ostermeier - Continuity, live interview with Memory Screen, Fond of Tigers - Vitamin Meathawk (featuring Sandro Perri on vocals), The Drift - Uncanny Valley, Do Make Say Think - Fredericia, A Silver Mt. Zion - This Gentle Hearts Like Shot Bird's Fallen, Fennesz/Danielle/Buck - Heat From Light, Yankee Yankee - The Sea II, Honeybear - Bottom Over Top, M. Mucci - April L'oochi Pt. 2, and This Invitation - Burning Telegraph.

Many thanks to Memory Screen for the great live set and to Kat Cardiff for teching the performance. If you can make the show on Thurs. I highly recommend you do so. With Mark relocating to Montreal shortly this will be his last gig with these players for quite a while.

The links to the archived show recordings should be good for up to a month from the show date. If the links expire just let me know via comment and I'll re-upload them.
