Cluster/Brain Show

[Scott Heller (617) 724-7762]

       Hello,

            Saw the Cluster/The Brain show last night here in Boston. A very
       small crowd of about 30 people for the Brain who also only played for
       30 minutes or so, which was disappointing as they were just starting
       to get into it. About 50 or so people for Cluster. They played some
       really cool mellow spacey stuff but the volume was so low that the
       sound of the kitchen in the next room was louder than they were. You
       could hear the spanish dishwasher and the clanning of the dishes with
       this spacey music going on in the background instead of the
       foreground.

            Anyway, David Kuznick and I spoke at length with Tony Greneas of
       Pressurehead (the Brain/ Far Flung). He said that the new pRessurehed
       Cd was finished and would be out in December. IT is going to be more
       trancy and spacey and less heavy. When I asked about a tour he said
       no, but that Far Flung have a new one and were going to tour for sure.
       They were selling the 3CD space rock set for $30 at the show. Lots of
       cool stuff on it..

            He also spoke alot about HW and Nik Turner. He said that Nik was
       trying to set up a US tour with his swing jazz band and was also
       working on a deal for some more space rock on Alternative Tentacles
       and not Cleppatra. HE also said that Dave Brock has a 2-3 hour proshot
       video of Hawklord era Calvert material they he saw part of at some
       point that was incredible with all these costume changes etc.. He said
       the Knut who put together the Clavert web page has tried to get it for
       his project was basically told to jump in a lake..  Tony really likes
       Ron Tree and is glad that he is in the band. His main complaint with
       new HW is not the music but that the lyrics are all just the same
       thing and Dave is not very inspired these days, lyrically.. He said
       Nik does have adesire to play with Dave again and relive the old days
       when it was a comunnity band and not the dave brock controled band.
       Overall, he is a really nice Irish guy... who loves to talk about
       space rock (he didn't like Darxtar at all, but he had not heard the
       new one). He did mention he just got a Roxy Music tape from 1972 and
       that it was massivly HW influenced stuff!!
