Jackie-O-Motherfucker is a Portland band active for many years and has undergone many transistions and it seems like they are the headliner at this particular show although I am a little confused by the flyer. But in any case it would be a “sonicated” evening. Jackie-O’s sound is derived directly from the psychedelic jams of Popol Vuh and Bardo Pond i.e. ambient psychedelic music erupting suddenly with hellish visions but still retaining a mutant melody. Indian Jewelry on the other hand could be placed in the same vein but their emphasis is more on free-form noise and feedback to achieve psychotic levels atleast that is what it seemed like from their 1st album. They are touring in support on their forthcoming album, which if the samples placed on their Myspace indicate that they might have shifted towards a more song based approach.

Cover charge is $7 and please do not forget to bring ear plugs.

He was a member of “Red House Painters” (in San Francisco). These days he alternates between with his “Sun Kill Moon” project and his solo work. But his work with the “Red House Painters” is the shit. It is folk music taken to another dimension and really worth checking out. Kozelek is touring in support of his new solo album and a re-release of his Sun Kill Moon album, which has been getting pretty decent reviews. The tickets are going to be $17 and the show starts at 8pm. I have never been to the Aladdin Theatre since most of the bands that come through are pretty shitty in my opinion but once in a while they do have good people coming through and Kozelek is a good example. Lets support Kozelek in hope that maybe Aladdin will get more artists like him coming through more frequently.
