Tristan Da Cunha
from The Noise (Nov 03)

Francis Kim Band, Starr Faithfull, Tristan da Cunha, Audrey Ryan Band
T.T. the Bear's Place,
Cambridge, MA
October 8, 2003
...

Truly a tough act to follow. As it turns out, Tristan da Cunha are my new favorite band. They make me think of Devo faithfully covering the double-trio lineup of King Crimson, and that's just the first song. And they're a three-piece. Fuck math rock; this is n-dimensional topology rock. I count 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, IN ONE SONG. And, oh yeah, they're really good, too. They don't just hang on for these wild rides, they sell them. The guitarist has Sonic Youth, Shellac, and (above all) The Boredoms under his belt, and can sing a delicate high harmony at need. The bassist does most of the singing, and he's really good, with a strong voice and a dramatic style that really connects with the (scant) audience. The drummer is a finely crafted machine. And just when I think the bag of tricks must surely be empty, the guitarist and drummer switch places for the last song, and damned if they're not wild and weird and excellent on those instruments too.
