Jandek plays on September 6th!!

Mystery has shrouded Jandek since the ‘band’s’ music arrived on the scene in 1978 (although calling Jandek a ‘band’ is rather misleading). Since then, Jandek has produced over 60 self-released, often atonal avant-garde blues and folk, albums.

Widely revered by a fan-base consisting of stalwart rockers Sonic Youth, Jandek is believed to be a one-man operation. Part of the musical project’s allure is the often ambiguous mix of performance art with the music. A nameless ‘representative’ from Corwood Industries (Jandek’s label) played the ‘band’s’ first show in 2004. Since then, this ‘representative’ has appeared a few times a year to play with some of the best musicians in the world.

(Note- Jandek will be playing with the wonderful Ryan Sawyer, best drummer this side of the galaxy!)

Max and the Siamese Twins

Hey All,

I've just started to contribute some writing to Lost at E Minor, an online publication consisting of "inspiring art, illustration, photography, music, fashion, film, and more, featuring [the] latest discoveries in the ever-changing world of contemporary pop culture."

Cool.

Below is the first of what I hope to be many small reviews. Check it out at Lost at E Minor, here. Be sure to check out the site to see more of my reviews and musings.


What do you get when you mix a dark fairy tale involving Siamese Twins with paintings by fifty of the most innovative, off-the-cusp artists in the art world? A gorgeous, limited edition first printing of the book, Max and the Siamese Twins. Intrigue, lust, love, burlesque, and a whole lot of trouble, that’s what you can expect to find as you peruse the pages of this eighty-page volume.
