The Faint play Danse Macabre (First Avenue, Minneapolis 12/13/12)

Faint play Danse Macabre 12-13-12
with Trust and Icky Blossoms (First Ave)

ICKY BLOSSOMS

Icky Blossoms has that dance electro-pop sound that gets the party going. As they start the set, onlookers from the crowd join in from the back of the club. Each upbeat tempo coincides with the light show. Each drum snare has its color, each bass riff has its hue, and the vocals have its own saturation of vividness. Icky Blossoms sets the atmosphere to electro dance party.

TRUST

As Trust comes on, it's a whole other beast. Channeling his inner Robert Smith, Robert Alfons flails around like no-one is watching. Deep clouds of fog punctuates each movement. As if he is rising from the cloud of smoke. With his ghastly vocals carrying his movements, as if his body was a marionette. With deep industrial rhythms that set the more somber horror mood.

The Faint is the best of both worlds: blending some horror atmospheric themes with danceable rhythms. Aside from some early technical difficulties, the Faint starts off with some songs from Wet From Birth and Fasciination. Then came the joy of hearing Danse Macabre in its entirety from front to back. This is such a solid album, and so ahead of its time when released in 2001. It was the album that changed my taste. At the time of this release, I only listened to three-chord punk rock and a few alternative bands. I remember so clearly the first time I heard the Faint. It was so different from anything at the time. A year or two later will come the Killers that would get the mainstream attention.

Regardless, Danse Macabre would be on my list of albums I would bring if I was on a deserted island, other albums would include Weezer's Blue album. After concluding the Danse Macabre, they cover Sonic Youth's "Mote" and ends their set with my favorite Faint song (weird that my favorite Faint song is not on Danse Macabre) "Worked Up So Sexual" from Blank-Wave Arcade EP.

Who would've thought 10-11 years ago that this album would finally get its recognition it deserves and be remastered and re-released? By the way, who would've even thought that one of the Faint's songs would be playing on a Kohl's commercial. Oh how the times have changed.

The Faint ends their Danse Macabre tour at their sold out show in their hometown, Omaha at Sokol Auditorium today, December 14th.

Trust: "Dressed For Space"

Read More The Faint I got a chance to listen to the remastered Danse Macabre on high quality MP3, courtesy of the record label, Saddle Creek, and I have to say it was nice to revisit the album. …

There is not much that changes in the 80's Goth industrial sound. Ghoulish vocals, horror-themed upbeat dance tempo, and a hint of the theatrical macabre.

Trust (or is it TRST?) is a Canadian Goth band that feels like they were transported in time machine to a melancholy-enriched teenage post angst age. The ghastly vocals fit perfectly to the upbeat tempo. Arranged in a way that if you close your eyes, images of strobe lights in a dirty industrial warehouse is what you'll see. Personally I cannot wait to see Trust live, for the shear spectacle of what it could be.

Goth music has survived under the radar for a long time. It's partially because trends in music changes but the underground still pumps out bands like this. Put some black bed spreads over the windows, turn off the lights, light some incense, light a few dozen tea candles, and fill the room with the sounds of Trust.

To quote Bela Lugosi "Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make."

"Dressed For Space" song is taken from Trust's TRST album is out now on Arts & Crafts. You can hear it on soundcloud.com. They are currently on tour with The Faint:

The Faint: Danse Macabre (Remastered)

Free Download Free download of "Agenda Suicide" (remastered) at saddle-creek.com Read More The Faint I am actually kind of ashamed to admit to really liking The Faint's album, Danse Macabre, because it sounded so much like Information Society. I am excited to report that Saddle Creek will be reissuing the album in a Deluxe Edition format ...

There are very few bands that I will make it out in the winter to see. Driving in snow, dealing with parking, wearing extra heavy coats, let's face it: it's just not worth it. However, I do make rare exceptions, especially if I like a band enough.

I have agreed to see The Faint, coming to Minneapolis December 13th, near the end of their tour date. This will be the only time that I'll get to see The Faint play their best album, Danse Macabre, in its entirety live! Only a few songs from this album was played when I last saw The Faint, so I'm really looking forward to hearing "Let The Poison Spill From Your Throat" and "Total Job" live.

I got a chance to listen to the remastered Danse Macabre on high quality MP3, courtesy of the record label, Saddle Creek, and I have to say it was nice to revisit the album. I don't have golden ears, and I really couldn't tell the differences. I suppose the audio is slightly mixed up a little.

Take a look at the wave breakdown for the first 30 seconds of "Agenda Suicide" from the original album release and the new remastered audio - they look identical. The bottom two channels are from the remastered version and you will notice that the wave length is slightly bigger.

"Agenda Suicide" audio wave breakdown

Like I said, the details are in the pudding, and blasting both songs on my headphones, I couldn't honestly tell you which song was remastered in a blind test.

Still, it's a nice excuse for you to pick up the album again. Especially because the new reissue comes with six bonus tracks from that time period. I haven't heard of the remixes before, and I was slightly annoyed by the 300 repeats of the words "control" in the Thin White Duke remix of "The Conductor." The most interesting (and best) b-side track is "Take Me To The Hospital", which I am assuming is sung by Todd Fink, but it sounded nothing like him. I hope they do that 'Hospital' song live, I can't wait to hear people singing back the spelling, "Won't you take me to the H take me to the O take me to the S take me to the P. I. T. A. L. Hospital."

Anyway, the Deluxe Edition of Danse Macabre is out now. You can get it in a variety of format, including unlimited digital and 5,000 copies for the 2xCD/DVD package and 3,000 copies for the 2xLP/2xCD/DVD package. Full details on saddle-creek.com (along with a free download.)

Deluxe Redux: The Faint, Sallie Ford, and Bob Mould

Read More The Faint Anyway, I thought Agenda Suicide is the best song off their "Danse Macabre" album. You'll probably disagree.

As a collector of Deluxe Editions, I do like keeping track of what's being reissued. Check out the first Deluxe Redux article.

THE FAINT
www.thefaint.com

I am actually kind of ashamed to admit to really liking The Faint's album, Danse Macabre, because it sounded so much like Information Society. I am excited to report that Saddle Creek will be reissuing the album in a Deluxe Edition format, for sale on October 30th.

The reissued album will be remastered with six bonus tracks and a DVD. Hardcore fans will want to get their hands on the double vinyl (with CD and DVD). Physical packaging is strictly limited to 5,000 copies (3,000 for the vinyl).

To celebrate its release, the band will start on a promotional tour the first week of November. They are coming back to First Avenue in Minneapolis on December 13th. I saw the band in 2008, and noted that the band puts on a "spectacular light show consisting of part rave, part Casio-crashing, part discotheque, but all fun."

Read More Sallie Ford I saw Sallie Ford last year, which I admitted to "loving her album, Dirty Radio, since I heard it".

SALLIE FORD & THE SOUND OUTSIDE
sallieford.com

Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside's Dirty Radio is being reissued as a "Deluxe Edition" this September 4th, via Partisan Records. While this re-release doesn't seem to have new packaging or extra discs, it only contains two bonus tracks: "Like A Drug" and "Not An Animal" (both previously unreleased). Dirty Radio is still a terrific album, so if you haven't bought it, perhaps the two bonus tracks might entice you.

The Portland quartet also just announced a new fall tour, starting in Minneapolis' 7th Street Entry.

Read More Bob Mould If you don't know who Bob Mould is, he is probably best known for being the guitarist and singer of Minneapolis's Hüsker Dü. After their breakup, Mould returned with a new rock sound in another influential band called Sugar.

BOB MOULD
bobmould.com

As I have previously mentioned, Bob Mould is currently on tour to play Sugar's Copper Blue album in its entirety live because of the album's 20th anniversary this year.

His latest album, Silver Age, is coming out September 4th on Merge Records. The first 400 preorders will get a bonus patch!

Bob Mould's previous band, Sugar, is getting a couple of reissues. I am excited about the three-disc Copper Blue from Ryko Disc. The whole album, including four B-Sides and the Beaster EP, have been remastered. The third disc is a live recording of Sugar's Chicago show in 1992.

The Faint Set List ♥ First Avenue, Minneapolis (11/14/08) The Faint ♥ First Avenue, Minneapolis (11/14/08)

Minneapolis is the last stop for famed The Faint before heading off to Scotland, England, Germany, Italy, and Spain, before heading back stateside in mid-December. UK concert goers should be in for a real treat, as these guys put on a spectacular light show consisting of part rave, part Casio-crashing, part discotheque, but all fun.

Everyone in the band was dressed in dark clothing, except for singer Todd Fink, who came out with tinted circular glasses/goggles and dressed up as a mad scientist or chemist. He does his same dance he does for all the songs, smiling and laughing the whole time, while the rest of the band do their thing. I will have to say that "Dapose" rocked out pretty hardcore on the guitar.

There was a long experimental noise intro before "The Geeks Were Right", which was well-received, although I suspect fans weren't used to their new songs.

Speaking of which, and I won't spend too much time on this, the audience seem to be a lot of younger kids (with black marked "X" on their hands indicating they are under 21), and they all seem to be really into their hair.

The ended their set with a three song encore, including the very last song, Agenda Suicide, which is not listed on their set list.

The Faint - Desperate Guys

The Faint - Agenda Suicide

I should also mention the two warm-up band, His Mischief (official/myspace) and Baby Walrus (myspace). His Mischief was a three piece band from St Paul, they sounded more power-pop/rock - like they might be more in their elements opening up for Motion City Soundtrack.

As for Baby Walrus, they are from Nebraska, and they seem to be more blues-influenced, with a bit of Ben Folds with the keyboard-thing. I don't know the song they ended their set, but it was really good.

Here's a quick heads up for all y'all New Wave revivalists out there: The Faint (MySpace) have a new album coming out in August, and have just released a track from the album to whet fans' appetite for speaker-bangin' synthetic goodness!

 

 

The Faint - Agenda Suicide   The Faint - Desperate Guys

Just in case you've been living in a cave or in suspended animation for the last decade, The Faint have been around since 1998, when they released their first album, Media, on Nebraska's indie superstar label Saddle Creek. Though that debut album was a decent exercise in straightforward post-punk rock, the band really hit its stride and began to define its sound with 1999's Blank Wave Arcade, which featured more synths and clearly indicated that though The Faint were obviously inspired by early-80s New Wave acts like The Comateens, Ultravox, and Eurythmics, they were a forward-looking band with their MIDI cables plugged into the future, not a "retro" act as some claimed. The group's 2001 breakthrough album Danse Macabre and 2004's Wet From Birth were massive, furious blasts of electro-punk that lit up dancefloors across the nation. But then...they just sort of...well, vanished for the last four years.

 

But now they're back, and if their lead single from the forthcoming album Fasciinatiion (to be released on their new independent label blank.wav ) is any indication, they're picking up right where they left off. "The Geeks Were Right" is a thundering, bass-heavy assault of grimy synths, grungy guitars, and skull-pounding beats populated with Todd Baechle's trademark tongue-in-cheek lyrics. "They've got modified features and software brains / but that's what the girls like / the geeks were right" pretty much sums up and lampoons the new century's cultural triumph of the nerd without resorting to typical indie-rock "irony." The jam is strong with this one, folks.

I'll be reviewing the entire album soon, but for now, "The Geeks Were Right" should be on your playlist right now.

The Faint have a massive tour coming up, too, with dates all over the map--including Europe.

My brother made me listen to the Faint.

The only reason why I like them is that they sound so much like Information Society (and they are a band dear to my heart).

There's that familiar keyboard/new wave sound that is all the rage these days.

Anyway, I thought Agenda Suicide is the best song off their "Danse Macabre" album. You'll probably disagree.
