IAO Core Live at Red Rocks

this was our second time playing the mythic Red Rocks, the first time was/and is featured in our epic road film “Magickal Media Terrorism Tour”. This was also our first performance with Denver based percussion phenom, T.S. Anubis.... Thus the second set jamboreebop “Party and Play Perfectly Clear Elf Flamethrower” is truly outstanding for it's merciless drum antics … but before this is explored further, certain definitions need to be established just for clarity. Drumming is tricky stuff after all, and the in-built ambiguity of language also contributes to easily missing the many facets of the drum conundrum. So let us first define what is meant by “drumming”‘In this instance, what is meant is the ability of a human in the sense of body, mind and consciousness, leaving a point in time, hereafter labeled the Point of Temporal Origin (PTO), and then ‘arriving’ within a different temporal destination. In this definition, any movement in space is not considered as a key component of drumming , though it may certainly occur as a side effect.

IAO Core Live from Mosswood "The Rite of Venus" Part 7 of the Rites of E...

 
This is nothing less than pure awesome and behold a court of photosynthetic Angels who make this place inside your chest cavity a Paradise, performing tantric intercourse in magick towers and lush subterranean caves, opening your heart chakra screaming " fuck me like fried potatoes on the most beautifully hungry morning of my God-damn life." It is Art that pleads a kind of lost divine madness a its guiding inspiration. the center will make itself known to those who will be a part of it there and who will find their way there and those who are to be a part of it in another location will also respond to the gravitational pull of Love in evolution, embracing the death of the false, for the endless perpetuation of the real, via the mysterious process of change, which is the dance performed by that which is immortal in us …and is the perceptible part of the divine in demonstration of it. Chickadees have been known to fornicate with badgers here, for christsakes.

Live in Antwerp Set 2


IAO Core Live in Antwerp set 2

Ah, Antwerp!According to folklore, and as celebrated by the statue in front of the town hall, the city got its name from a legend involving a mythical giant called Antigoon who lived near the river Scheldt. He exacted a toll from those crossing the river, and for those who refused, he severed one of their hands and threw it into the river Scheldt. Eventually, the giant was slain by a young hero named Brabo, who cut off the giant's own hand and flung it into the river. Hence the name Antwerpen, from Dutch hand werpen—akin to Old English hand and wearpan (= to throw), which has changed to today's warp.Back in the olden days, women hung laundry out on the street to dry, a perfect opportunity to chat and gossip. Laundry Day aims to recreate this congeniality with up to 50,000 people dancing on the streets of Antwerp's Ledeganckkaai. It was this celebratory event, in which our heroes found themselves in the Summer of 2010.

Ah, the summer of 2010. In January “Rolling Stone” deemed us only a couple tweaks away from greatness. We had begun to fourth-guess ourselves. Each IAOster accused the other of holding the band back. Things got a lot more fun as the year progressed. A week into the first leg of our first European tour, our sound man slammed my finger in a van door, breaking it in two places. I regained my dexterity in a few weeks, but the experience left us all shaken. Travis took on the lead guitar position and vocals became my main thing. Never the less we blazed a trail across Europe that moved away from the bone-crushing riffs of ourr forebears and instead settled upon something more spiritual and transcendent; regularly bringing forth a more organic tone that appeared to be in awed reverence of itself. This recording (made straight off the mixing board) is a very good one, and was one of our better live European performances, if I do say so myself, and I just did, didn't I ?

This is where IAO Core recorded it's fabulously successful live CD (the) singularity (recording of live event) last January. The building has been home to such legendary artists as Dario Puga, Jello Biafra, Benjamin Bufano, Jerry Garcia, Richard Brautigan, IAO Core, and countless others.....
