absurd #85
earzumba ‘bye bye butterfly’
cdr edition

issued on saturday december the 4th during the absurd #84 ‘bye bye butterfly’ event

the initial idea was to have  a release being released that day, by aux, this idea developed so much within a 3 month period that finally was shelved. as ‘infiity’ was dropped as an idea too it looked like a good idea to issue a cdr with completely different sounds to the ones that people were expecting to listen during the main event and asked christian for a crazy earzumba set. so here it is.

a play w/ classic rock titles housed in a butterfly sleeve on white paper / red ink as a tribute to syd barrett as according to one of the legends around him say that once he was in the studio to record, being totally freaked out he was given the lyrics of the songs typed with red ink on white paper and he went more nuts that he ripped to shreds the papers. never checked if the legend is right or wrong simply liked it craziness so…

saturday november the 6th @ knot gallery (mihalakopoulou 206 st & pyrrou st,
athens)

as usual it was born out of a joke, better say a question while arranging ideas for 2011 w/ dimitra, michalis, giannis & danai during a hot august night when michalis wondered of what shall we do till 2011? the idea for an ash nav live was dropped by giannis a couple of months ago and as we both share the enthusiasm for the project’s work we were for it waiting for the right place & right time to materialize it.

the idea of prequel of absurd’s ‘bye bye butterfly’  in athens but in slight different sounds was also in mind as some friends wanted an athens thing too, so w/out second thoughts within seconds the line up was almost ready as all drove crazy w/ a line up we came up.

so add  the enthusiasm for the all girl garage sounds of the mongrelettes and the psych out ones of ashtray navigations plus a blend of earzumba’s psychotic sampladelia
and you get a freak out compendium to infinity!!!!
