Review by Jerry Kranitz:
Implemental Music is #24 in Hal’s long running Apartment Music series of concerts of experimental, improvisation, electronic and noise music at his apartment. We Feel A Little Weird is the first of two 15 minute tracks and consists of conversational extracts and snippets before and during the show plus bang ‘n’ clatter preparation for the Pots N Pans Orchestra jam. These people are clearly having fun and the fly on the wall, voyeuristic view of it all is just like being there. Damn, I’ll bet getting stung on the temple by a wasp would really suck.
Revolt in the Household Goods Department features Hal McGee, Mark McGee, Andrew Chadwick, Hal Harmon, A.J. Herring, Steve Ladensack, Zach Lovitch, Trevor Luke, Jay Peele, Rosemarie Romero, and Stanley the dog performing as the Pots N Pans Orchestra, and they ain’t called the Pots N Pans Orchestra fer nuthin’. Hot DAMN this is fun stuff, and I double Stanley dog dare anyone to tell me that they’re not laying down a nice steady rhythmic groove and creating some inspirational rug cutting cacophony. Seriously, they may be improvising but the clatter really flows.
