WKDU 91.7fm Presents
RJD2

Doors: 7:30 pm / Show: 8:30 pm
Union Transfer
Philadelphia, PA
Dame Fortune is the deliciously eclectic sixth album from veteran producer and crate digger extraordinaire RJD2, out March 25th on RJ’s Electrical Connections. It’s a wondrous beast, recorded over the past year while living in Philadelphia, before returning to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Streaked with Philly’s rep for deeply felt soul music while maintaining a playful sense of adventurousness, Dame Fortune features guest vocalists Son Little (aka Aaron Livingston) and frequent collaborator Phonte, while also presenting the bombastic hip-hop sound that marked RJD2’s breakthrough album, Deadringer, and even an orchestral composition for the societal unrest experienced in this day and age (called “PF Day One”…the PF standing for “Post Ferguson”).
“Living in Philly provided a context for a lot of soul music that I had liked,” RJD2 says on the city’s influence on Dame Fortune’s sound. “I didn’t have any cultural context for this music that I liked—it was just music that I had stumbled across as a beat making nerd. Philly was a place where there were enough people who had the same musical vocabulary that I did, which made the music more than something I had just discovered on my own.”
Listen below to debut single, “Peace of What,” which features Jordan Brown and draws inspiration from 1990s rap legends Main Source’s 1991 single “Peace Is Not the Word to Play.” “When I hear people talk of peace in America, the discrepancy between our words and our actions can get fatiguing,” he says on the inspiration behind the song. “I was trying to reflect the experience of people I know, which often feels like ‘We’re not ACTUALLY trying to do anything about this problem in our country.’”
Thought-provoking and undeniably entertaining all at once, this latest exhibition of musical virtuosity is a crystal-clear reflection of RJD2’s cinematic aspirations, reminding listeners that it’s always rewarding to expect the unexpected. RJD2 will tour throughout 2016 in support of Dame Fortune and his 20-year-plus-career.

Palehound - Tickets - PhilaMOCA - Philadelphia PA May 24 2016 Ticketfly
PalehoundTuesday May 24, 2016Doors: 8:00 PM
Show: 8:30 PMAll Ages
$10Ellen Kempner, the 21-year-old guitarist and songwriter behind Boston based project, Palehound, is even more prodigious than her age suggests; influenced by her musician father, she struck out on the songwriting path while she was still in elementary school. “I was kind of a shy kid,” says Kempner. “Music was a good way for me to express myself – I had a hard time socially, and it was a way for me to feel like I could contribute something and impress people in some way.”
“I envy 10-year-old me,” she laughs. “I would sit in my room for an hour, write a song, and be done. Now, it takes more time.” The eight songs that make up Dry Food, which Kempner wrote from 2013 to 2014 and recorded with Gabe Wax (Wye Oak, Speedy Ortiz) last summer, are wry and confessional, full of unexpected twists and turns. Kempner’s whispery alto gives the album a raw, confessional feel, even on louder tracks like the crashing, reverb-augmented “Cushioned Caging.” That’s partially because Dry Food is a snapshot of a time in Kempner’s life defined by instability and shifting, leaving Sarah Lawrence before her eventual move to Boston.
“I was coming off a transitional time in my life,” says Kempner of the period when Dry Food was written. “I was struggling in college, and with mental health issues. The album is a snapshot of a weird time for me, where I was transitioning from being in college to getting a job.
“The year between 19 and 20 is this weirdly insignificant time – you’re kind of an adult, but not a real adult. That was kind of hard for me, to think, ‘I’m not a kid, and there are things in my life making that very, very obvious to me, but I also can’t really fathom being an adult yet.’”
Despite the underlying factors, though, Dry Food is confident and cohesive, full of sophisticated songwriting and guitar playing. Kempner cites Elliott Smith and Kim Deal, as well as Angel Olsen and her childhood musical hero Avril Lavigne, as songwriting influences. (“I was obsessed with Let Go, and I still love that album,” she declares. “I was in third grade and would wear ties to school.”)
The glistening, complex guitar work on the dreamy “Cinnamon” and the fuzzed-out textures on album opener “Molly” makes plain that Kempner’s musical roots grow deep. “Wes Montgomery is one of my biggest guitar influences,” she notes. “I studied his music in college, and I still will pull up a chart of his and try to figure it out.”
Kempner played everything but the drum parts on Dry Food, but live, Palehound is rounded out by drummer Jesse Weiss, of the gnarly Boston act Grass Is Green, and bassist David Khostinat, who had previously worked with Weiss in the band Supervolcano.
Teaming up with Weiss and his crisp, steady drumming was, for Kempner, serendipitous. “I heard [Grass Is Green] when I was 16 or 17, and I thought they were the best thing I’d ever heard in my life,” she says. “Particularly the drummer. I saw them live for the first time right after I’d turned 18, and I watched Jesse the whole time. I worshiped him.
“He has this innate sense of how to work his kit. I can just get onstage and know that he’s going to play perfectly, and I can rely on him.”
While Dry Food chronicles a particularly rough patch in Kempner’s life, it does so with verve and grit, not to mention sterling musicianship and wry lyrics. Dry Food is a flag-plant by a young woman with a lot on her mind and talent to burn.

Ethan Tripp / Al Jones duo, Christian Mirande, and Gui Jian (Michael Winkler)
Monday, May 23rd 2016
8pm
Door $7-$10Ethan Tripp and Al Jones//
Ethan Tripp is an electro-acoustic improvisor whose work focuses on exploration of the materiality of every-day sounds and the impossibility of silence. The principal devices for sound production are simple objects like radios and speakers, accompanied by junk like bicycle spokes and bits of discarded metal. Like Free Improvisation with no technique, Sound Art with no art, he seeks to formulate an experience out of the trash of the sonic world, the tension of expectation, and the certainty of unfolding time. Ethan has a new work with computer musician Reed Evan Rosenberg, entitled Medium Rude, which will soon be released on the AEU imprint of Erstwhile Records.A.F. Jones (Dallas, TX, 1971) has worked for decades analyzing and processing sound, and engineering and testing systems with the ocean as the acoustic medium for end use. Presently, he is exploring the inescapable influence of one’s work with memory resonance — an individual’s retention ratio for the experiences and impressions of film, socio-cultural evolution, interpersonal/musical relationships, emotional triggers, sensory recall, lines of poetry — as variables in composition and improvisation. These ideas are sometimes addressed through Cinematics, his project for unrealized or unproduced film and screenplay as a basis for music. In addition to composition and performance, Jones records and works from his studio in San Diego, Laminal Audio. He is also involved in ongoing collaborations with T.J. Borden, Derek Rogers, Barry Chabala, Steve Flato, Nick Lesley, and Cristián Alvear.
Christian Mirande//
Christian Mirande is an experimental musician working in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His work with field recordings and synthesis straddles ineptness and deliberateness, with pieces thematically addressing topics like aviation, geography, and sense of place. The works themselves draw on artists as varied as Robert Ashley, The Shadow Ring, and Suzanne Ciani . From digital resynthesis of various program materials to physical manipulation of reel to reels, the creation and change in timbre drives the compositions.
Releases on Vitrine, No Rent and Mistake By The Lake
Forthcoming: Hanson and Ascetic House
“Christian is an artist whose facility with mechanics is indistinguishable from his incredible sensitivity and sense of humor; it takes a lifetime of learning, moving from parallel lines and intersecting grids of working with machines and pursuing the articulation of the things that mean the most to him, to produce something that sounds like this.”“Mirande’s use of modular synthesis and unprocessed field recordings fall into black holes of logic – the manner in which an artist shows himself in the world without oppressing himself upon nature. An organics of intention set these tracks apart from other releases utilizing the tools on the table.”
Gui Jian//
Gui Jian is the moniker that Philadelphia-based sound engineer/translator, Michael Winkler, has designated for his recent electronic performances and recorded solo work. Having performed extensively in Beijing and throughout the Chinese mainland over the past decade, he has only just returned to Philadelphia this winter. His recorded output occurs in many genres but recent solo performances have featured electronic instruments played horizontally on a table.

Eraserhood Forever 2016 ft. Xiu Xiu performing TWIN PEAKS - ERASERHOOD
PhilaMOCA is proud to announce the lineup for the fifth annual David Lynch-themed Eraserhood Forever event, co-presented with R5 Productions. Headlining the event on Saturday, October 1 will be indie/noise-pop stalwarts Xiu Xiu performing their interpretation of the soundtrack to TWIN PEAKS. Opening for Xiu Xiu will be NYC’s urban anti-cowboy Dougie Poole and the event will be hosted, as always, by Ben Velvet.
XIU XIU
Originally commissioned by the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art for a 2015 exhibition titled “David Lynch: Between Two Worlds”, Xiu Xiu have since performed their take on the TWIN PEAKS soundtrack at a variety of venues worldwide, but this will be the first time they’ve brought it to Philadelphia.
The music of Twin Peaks is everything that we aspire to as musicians and is everything that we want to listen to as music fans. It is romantic, it is terrifying, it is beautiful, it is unnervingly sexual. The idea of holding the “purity” of the 1950s up to the cold light of a violent moon and exposing the skull beneath the frozen, worried smile has been a stunning influence on us. There is no way that we can recreate Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch’s music as it was originally played. It is too perfect and we could never do its replication justice. Our attempt will be to play the parts of the songs as written—meaning, following the harmony melody but to arrange in the way that it has shaped us as players.
“It’s easy to see parallels between Xiu Xiu and David Lynch—both are challenging, uncompromising artists unafraid of real experimentation or the uneven results that come from it.” – Pitchfork
DOUGIE POOLE
Non-country singer/songwriter/producer based in New York. His first full length record, ‘Wide Ass Highways”, will be released this fall via Brooklyn-based label JMC Aggregate.
Doors at 7:00 PM, Show at 7:30 PM
Advance tickets are $25, $30 at the door. Tickets go on sale this Friday (5/20) at Noon:

Eraserhood Forever is an annual celebration of all things David Lynch, held in Philadelphia’s “Eraserhood” where Lynch lived as a young PAFA student. It has been well documented that Lynch’s time spent in the neighborhood had a direct influence on his first feature film, ERASERHEAD (1977). The neighborhood has rapidly changed since the first Eraserhood Forever event five years ago and will surely continue to evolve in years to come with the upcoming restorations of the Reading Viaduct and Divine Lorraine Hotel. In the meantime, PhilaMOCA will continue to celebrate the neighborhood’s past with its residents of the present.
