Unrock Instore Gig Series
Unrock is an alternative record store in Krefeld, Germany. Like us they put on some in store shows, and to document this the label Unsound Recordings was founded. Normally this releases are only available directly from Unrock, but we got a few copies of the most recent batch for Dissonant Plane. We are probably the only place in the States that has these. The three titles we got are limited edition CDRs in lovely screen printed Digipaks. The first is by ME & EE with the Golden Road. Six tracks of psychedelic blues where Matt and Erika are joined by Doc Dunn and Samara Lubelski. Matt Valentine often reminds me of a very laid back Neil Young. Ramping up from this is Sunburned Hand of the Man whose disc is one 39 minute Krautrock inspired jam of craziness with a quartet line up. Both this and the MV & EE are hand numbered editions of only 150 copies. The third title in the batch is by Temple of Bon Matin and comes in a tinier edition of only 50 copies. And it is the most out there of the batch. Usually a very large group, the Temple was only a trio at this gig. Made of Ed Wilcox (vocals), Eric Baylies (bass) and Jay Reeve (electronics), they let loose some crazy free music which bears a passing resemblance to rock, but goes further out and doesn’t have any drums to fall back on.
