“‘Shikaakwa’…is all sharp angles and deft musicianship, Can-like in its nail-on-the-head precision, its obsessive, ornamental embroidering upon its own melodies and counter-melodies. It’s so intricate that you kind of can’t help but tune everything else out while listening to it…” – The FADER
The first CAVE wave is in sight! Get the supplies ready, and batten yer loose hatches – because on October 15th, 2013, emerging from the good shipDrag City, the soldiers of Threace will make land, and then the real action will begin. Until then, the first freaky fireworks raving from CAVE will dazzle you – check out the vid transmissions that accompany Threace’s “Shikaakwa.”Once you’ve absorbed this essential audio-vibratory message with every fiber of your always-loving bod, take your children down to the riverside! The Chicago River-side that is, where on the late-afternoon/early evening ofWednesday September 25th, from 5PM-7PM, CAVE will patrol the main stem in their musical swift boat, firing neon song-bursts into the twilight, previewing for “Shikaakwa” residents the dance floor psychedelia of Threacethat will soon infiltrate the clear eyes and full hearts of the world in the future. The very near future! YES. Right after CAVE get off the boat and get their boots on the ground, Cooper Crain (guitar, organ), Jeremy Freeze (guitar),Dan Browning (bass) and Rex McMurry (drums) got a full month of shows where the jamz of Threace are going to be spread thickly across the American nations! These are your new age leaders – an explosive, expansive, organic, outfit destined to lead the underground to the overground. What a trip that’s gonna be! Fill your calendar out now, it’s the right to time become a slave to the CAVE! The soldiers of Threace will be available to capture you, mega-soon.
WATCH CAVE’S “SHIKAAKWA” VIDEO:
“This music video came as an extension of what we had already established as CAVE’s live show over the course of 2013. The style known as “vector rescanning” or “raster manipulation” originated with the Rutt-Etra scan processor in 1972. But, with the technology rarely remembered and devices next to impossible to find, we used LZX industries and Brownshoesonly video synthesizers to “program” these signals and send them out to a vector monitor where it was “re-scanned” or filmed off the monitor screen.” – Nick Ciontea, Director
