Check this nice, short video of Prehistoric Horse performing at the Omega Sound Fix Festival last weekend. Shot by Blue Sausage Infant.
The recent IT BREAKS south east US tour with David Grollman and Brendan Landis was really great. Not a bad show in the lot and we met so many cool folk. Thanks to all of them for putting on shows, telling friends and offering hospitality. We recorded every show and got video of several of [...]
The NYC based trio, IT BREAKS create helter-skelter improvisations of scrunch, scatter and skree in a pop radio format – ie short form pieces – via snare drum and twin guitars/electronics. Long form trends be damned, many pieces are under three minutes and nothing is over ten. Their brand new limited edition cassette, It Breaks, [...]
Thurs Mar 29 is Avant! Guitar! Night. Likely to become a monthly series wherever I am located…which is Brooklyn for now. The first installation is at Legion Bar and is a dandy. 1) James Beaudreau / E. Ryan Goodman acoustic guitar duo. This past winter, I was watching American Astronaut with music by the Billy [...]

Expansive rooms filled with random couches and chairs in various states of decay, desks, nooks and crannies, filled with books, filth or notes, messages, threats and/or suggestions to other members [...]
is the modern improvised music/noise trio of David Grollman, Valerie Kuehne and Lucio Menegon. Prehistoric Horse plays a very intense and dynamic form of improvisational music that sometimes borders on sheer noise and incorporates the dramatic and absurd. A mashup of Paal Nilssen-Love/Han Bennink drumming with Fred Frith/Sonic Youth guitars + electronics and Bach/Britten/Bi-polar disorder [...]
