Tokyo blissout psych masters Suishou no Fune (Holy Mountain Records) are coming back to Minneapolis for the first time in a few years, and we are very pleased to be able to play with our good friends once again! Their last appearance here was at the Heliotrope 5 festival at the Ritz Theatre in 2009 (lower photo), and it will be wonderful to see them again.

SUISHOU NO FUNE
THUNDERBOLT PAGODA
TRANSITIONAL SPECIES
Two more Midwest dates with Thunderbolt Pagoda as well. They are touring as a four-piece this time, and will surely blow minds and eardrums with their high-volume blissfulness.

Are you going to have someone make An Official Facebook Invite?

I suppose so.
In the meantime, enjoy these presskit materials:
Suishou No Fune was formed by Pirako Kurenai and Kageo in Tokyo, July,1999.
Basics of their music are formed by twin guitars in duo.
Twin guitar players are influenced and create songs.
Kageo's guitar work establishes the basics of a song in the case of most.
Pirako plays a lead guitar mainly, and often receive inspiration from free style playing, and sing a song adlib.
The artistic sound is the psychedelic Rock that twin guitars work that is full of sensitivity by the freedom that is not bound by stereotype.
Suishou No Fune usually make much songs by adlib, sing the song which make the best use of the Japanese poetic beauty.
The songs of "Spirit, Light and Darkness, Soul, Love and Hatred, Shamanistic, Life and Death" will touch your heartstrings.
You will enjoy the sound of Japanese verse and their psychedelic world, if you don't understand Japanese.
Suishou No Fune is magic music.

whoa. awesome!
|
|
|
never been able to get into this band, but will get 'em another shot
|
|
|
That's the spirit. Plus this time they are more of a "band" in the live sense, what with the quartet format and all.

The Wire Magazine
Suishou No Fune
Your Tears
PSF CD
Suishou No Fune aren't quite first wave Japanese psych, but they're vets nonetheless: they started in the late 1990s, and Your Tears, according to Discogs, is their 14th album.
They don't sound as blues-based, or as swinging, as Old School Jap Psych (Speed, Glue & Shinki/Flower Travellin' Band/etc).
Their name means "crystal ship" in Japanese, which captures something of what they're about - sculpture and grace, ecstatic beauty over bruising power, blue heat ovet red.
The songs each follow a similar pattern. There's a quieter bit that builds: washes of guitar, tentative drums, chiming lead-work, breathy, magic
vocals; then there's a loud bit: the same chord sequence but crunched out in distorted power chords,and some of the most ecstatic guitar-soloing this side of The Baby Grandmothers.
Suishou No Fune's music is formulaic, but that shouldn't matter: it's just another symptom of their loved-up ingenuousness.

Fucking shitty-ass shit fuck*.
* Translation: I will be out of town and unable to attend this show.
|
|
|
Are you going to be in MKE? Because we will be there on the 13th.
|
|
|
No, we'll be back by then. Short trip.
Oh, well, at least I've seen them the last couple of times.
|
|
|
what are the other two cities you guys are playing with them?
|
|
|
Duluth planetarium and Milwaukee.
|
|
|
Man I haven't toured since the '90s. I'm going to get so fucked up every night.
|
|
|
Yeah, wait, are you playing in Chicago? How could you play MKE and not Chicago? That's where I'll be.
PLAY IN CHICAGO WHEN I AM THERE PLEASE
|
|
|
We're playing in Chicago the last weekend of June, for the Premier Rock Forum BBQ Rock Party.
|
|
|
i know some people in chicago that i bet would drive up for this.
|
|
|
Chicago was too hard to organize, plus TP is playing there like two weeks later anyway.
|
|
|
Chicago loves you, though.
|
|
|
I'm tempted by the Duluth planetarium show. I love Duluth. And planetariums. And shows.
|
|
|
Duluth show will have star machine and frumious video.
|
|
|
Ooooooooooooooh.
|
|
|
I am stoked. I plan on going full on Stan Vanderbeek. DOME.
|
|
|
When is the Duluth show? Details please.
|
|
|
Duluth is the 12th, Milwaukee is the 13th. They are flying in from the west coast before and heading to NYC from Milwaukee. I feel really great that they have been so welcomed here in the past that they will fly through here and not over it.
|
|
|
Where are they playing in Milwaukee?

We are playing at Sugar Maple in MKE. Should be interesting at a small place. I told them it would be a loud show. I was really happy with the welcoming attitude of the place in their emails.
|
|
|
Nice.
|
|
|
Seconded. Bruno runs a top notch establishment, for both libations and music. FUCQ played there and it was killer.
|
|
|
I'm so glad to be selling merch on the Midwest leg of this tour even though I've stopped using drugs.
|
|
|
you should sell your smiles

nice to see they're playing with metal rouge in LA, love that band
|
|
|
Ha, Wall of Sound is the size of a walk-in closet. Should be interesting.
|
|
|
Smaller than Permanent? Should be real interesting in that case!
|
|
|
Much smaller! Unless there is a secret room in back or something...
|
|
|
Whoa. The audience may need diapers in addition to earplugs.
|
|
|
The mound note.

|
|

For once we get to do a longer set. At Red Rocks they let us play for a whole hour.

|
|
|
I had to sneak out early, but this was a bliss out indeed! Suishou No Fune was a real treat.
|
|
|
Groovy mellow night, thanks to those who came out on a cool Moonday night.
|
|
|
I had a great time. Salubrious got his own Rick Wakeman riser!
|
|
|
Great time indeed. Excellent music all around. My first time here despite a few other shows I thought about going to. Glad I made it to this one. Huge thanks to Sho for his translation help at the end of the night. Will try to get a Suishou no Fune track posted soon.
I really wish I could be in Duluth tonight but I'm slammed at work and can't take tomorrow off. Damn.

Looking forward to Duluth tonight. Last night was lovely but SO hot and stuffy inside (while so gorgeous outside). I only took photos of Thunderbolt Pagoda as I made the mistake of sitting down for Suishou no Fune and was unable to get up again. Lucky for me the sound was better on the side where I was sitting.
I like this photo because it looks like blue alien goo is about to creep into Savage Clone's ear canal:

Ha! Or he's got blue alien cum on his ear.

They sounded beautiful, awkward tuning glitch aside. Thanks to all who made it out, lovely to see you. Where were all these local self-proclaimed fans of psychedelic/dreamy sounds last night?
Have to take the band to Target this morning; tomorrow they get to see rural Wisconsin. Hey, they wanted to tour America. . .
