On my way downtown I caught on the radio a Fresh Air interview of Ringo Starr from 1995. The reason for the replay? It was his birthday (07/07/1940); he turned 83 and it seemed an appropriate moment to listen to the Beatle drummer tell Terry Gross how he first discovered the love of percussive instruments while convalescing in an English countryside greenhouse after a year-long battle with tuberculosis.

Listening to this interview was a bit of foreshadowing for when I arrived at the Seventh Street Entry, the stage had two full drum kits arranged like sectionals of a couch. And as the crowd gathered, KFAI’s Radio Pocho spun records with an international flavor before Kiltro took the stage.

The name kiltro is a Chilean word for stray dog or mutt. Based out of Denver, Colorado, the band is comprised of Chris Bowers Castillo on vocals and acoustic guitar, Will Parkhill on bass and Michael Devincenzi and Fez García on drums. Their sound is informed by ambient neo-psychedelia meeting the South American folk sounds that Castillo listened to as a youth when spending his summers as a child in Chile; then working four years as a tour guide in the port city of Valparaiso after college.

Kiltro’s sophomore album Underbelly is an ode to the port city as Castillo explained to Paste Magazine: “Will and I very much intended for it [Underbelly] to sound like a loud, clanking, cacophony of a city, complete with steam sounds and tires and discordant clattering.”

Much of the album is loops upon loops upon loops and Castillo and Parkhill did a remarkable job translating that sound in a live venue as Devincenzi and García propelled the group with a percussive beat that at times stirred the crowd into random shouts and applause.

This is the second time Kiltro has been at the Seventh Street Entry and it would be nice to see them in a bigger venue where they could spread out and give the audience a full appreciation of their sound. Still, there was quite a bit of love from the crowd that seemed to surprise Castillo and delight Parkhill. When Castillo said he didn’t bring enough setlists on stage, someone quickly shouted out three requests. And after playing a song on keyboard, Parkhill noted that it was the first time that Castillo had played the instrument on the road. Castillo said it was also the first time Parkhill played the bow on bass. Then someone from the crowd shouted: “F*ckin’ drums! Let’s go!”

It was a funny moment and hard to disagree that two drummers behind two drum kits in such a small venue would be leading the charge. And as I listened to the percussive music and danced with the crowd, only one question kept coming to mind: “Why don’t more bands do this?”

O.A.R. & Cory Wong
at Armory

The special O.A.R. and Cory Wong co-headlining tour will stop by the Armory in Minneapolis this Saturday, June 8th. Be sure to check out this tour to see Cory Wong performs “Hiding on the Moon”, a new song featuring O.A.R.

“I’ve been a fan of O.A.R. since I was a teenager," says Cory Wong. "I have seen them play several times; and when I finally got the chance to hang with Marc and the guys, I knew we’d hit it off musically. I had some time off in New York and Marc invited me to come hang and write in his studio. I had a loop of an idea that I had been sitting on for a while that I shared with him and he said, 'Let me get a microphone up.' We wrote the song that afternoon, and I took the tracks and ran with it over the next couple of months. I wanted to add some unique guitar elements to it, so I decided to use some natural harmonics as the opening section, and for the guitar solo, I wanted to channel a combination of…Coldplay/Allman/Mayer. This song ended up being a great collaboration that really features both Cory Wong and O.A.R. in a unique way, and really shows the power of creative minds coming together to make something that we wouldn’t have made independently!”

O.A.R. (10 Jul 2015)

We saw O.A.R. in July 2015 and said, “Singer Marc Roberge and band were so “in the zone” playing that they didn’t break until after the sixth song, with Roberge remarking “I always forget to say 'Hi 'because we love playing so much”.”
