Last Friday we found our way (eventually…no thanks to Atlanta mass transit) to the Bosnian Rainbows show at Terminal West (which has been drawing quite a number of solid bookings as of late, might I say). I was pretty hyped going in, albeit because I partly didn’t know what to expect. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has really on released two singles with his new band thus far, and Friday night was the first show on their US tour, so I especially intrigued for this show, and I’m glad that both my new German acquaintances (whom I met somewhere similarly lost in West Atlanta) made it just in time to see Marriages come onto the stage.
I had seen Marriages open up for Chelsea Wolfe and Russian Circles, and enjoyed them, but their set definitely grabbed my attention. Their sound is far more booming in person than on their recorded material; the sound of a live venue accentuates their driving bass and elaborate use of echoes. Incorporating a sludgy low end with glimmering picking patterns, now the main project of Red Sparowes’ Greg Burns and Emma Ruth Rundle (which also featured a heavy hitting as of yet unnamed drummer) has a weight that is hard for bands twice their size to match. At times Emma seemed to be channeling Tori Amos, and other times she and the band would sit back and let the music drive the audience where they wanted them. Their set had to be almost 50 minutes, and it was clear to see that it was an actually built set list, not just a bunch of songs picked at random. They were good the last time I saw them, they were great on Friday (and they stopped mid-set to help break a fight up, so bonus points for quelling douche-baggery).
El Paso experimental rock band Bosnian Rainbows is a collaboration between Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, formerly of At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, and Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes. The band played Philadelphia last night with L.A. trio Marriages; check out scenes from the show in the photo gallery above.
Marriages began about a year and a half ago, with Emma Ruth Rundle, Greg Burns, and Dave Clifford of post-rock outfit Red Sparowes. Their debut EP, Kitsune, produced by Toshi Kasai, was released last May on Sargent House. While the band has seemed to most regularly find themselves sharing stages with acts of some metal sub-genre or another, they’ve drawn comparisons to artists spanning the gamut from no-and-ethereal wave to prog rock… It’s quite hard to place it in a genre (always a good thing), but it’s certainly quite epic and quite moody. Their sound isn’t exactly a million miles from Red Sparowes, but the addition of vocals (which are non-existent in Red Sparowes) does seem to open up a new mode of expression for Marriages and they seem to be enjoying this new indulgence. Although Dave Clifford is no longer drumming, Marriages have recently welcomed-aboard full-time drummer and bandmate, Andrew Clinco. They are looking to record new music in the near future, but they are currently on the road with supergroup Bosnian Rainbows (including Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of At the Drive-In and the Mars Volta, Deantoni Parks of The Mars Volta, and Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes) for what I am deeming the best-line-up-ed, most credibly-cool, and just plain fucking badass tour of 2013. And that tour will find itself at the First Unitarian Church this Monday, February 18th. I recently got a chance to chat with Marriages’ Emma Ruth Rundle about what we can expect of the show and what we can expect of Marriages in 2013. - SEE INTERVIEW BELOW / SEE ALL TOUR DATES HERE
