This is quite a depart-sure from the last video we showcased of Airick’s Musical Adventures…. for his set yesterday at Tiger Bar he traded in two drummers for a gee-tar, and took his sound in a grungeulous new direction!
…<<><>>…
Stay tuned for video of HEARTBEAT HOTEL’s per-4-mance, and maybe even a little LA CASA MUERTE if you’re good (and if I’m able to keep my eyes from dribbling out all over the Final Cut edit bay…)

What an amazinglicioustastic show at the Whippersnapper last night!
\\\ . >>>
Doldrums kicked things off with new shriekysongs from Airick Woodhead (and a Velvet Underground Greatest Hit or two…), before Quiet Hooves blew our minds and eardrums with trumpet and badda-badda-bahs. Rich Aucoin took to the stage adorned in his vicious blend of trippy visuals and swing-batter-batter electropop. My brain is now largely comprised of swing-batter batter.

Boys Who Say No gave it good and hard with two drummers (including Snakes + Ladders’ own Daniel Woodhead!) before setting the stage for JAPANTHER’s epic fort destruction! The poor thing only lasted about fifteen minutes before the horde slammed, spiked, and swarmed the shit out of it.
\\\ . >>>
The moral of the story is that these things always look freakin’ awesome the day after, so without further ado, here is a video of the night’s festivities edited together by yours truly:
.
One thing that could be said for sure about Airick Woodhead, he’s equal parts experimenter and songwriter, and as far as side-projects go, Doldrums allows him the opportunity to wear on his sleeves the influences only hinted at in Spiral Beach. Assembling a band (including members of Heartbeat Hotel & The Miles) to translate his home demos live, this four-piece employ a seamless blend of psych-laden electro-driven pop, touches of avant-garde and IDM leanings, synchronized to live double-drumming. A sound collage that more than holds up on its own. -lv

From Wikipedia:
“Snakes and Ladders originated in India as a game based on morality called Vaikuntapaali or Paramapada Sopanam (the ladder to salvation).”
