Quintron and Miss Pussycat have just announced a host of new dates for where they’ll return to New York and the East Coast. They’ve have been making genre-defying noise and hard rocking dance music in New Orleans for over fifteen years. The majority of their 14 full-length albums have the psychedelic soul of traditional New Orleans party music filtered through a tough distorted Hammond B-3 and a cache of self-made electronic instruments
The Quintron / Miss Pussycat experience is one of
barely controlled electronic chaos, "Swamp-Tech" dance beats, small
explosions, incredible clothes, and entertaining puppet stories. You can
see them perform regularly at the SPELLCASTER LODGE New Orleans, Louisiana or
on one of their many tours around the world. This act somehow has equal
relevance in sleazy nightclubs, pizza restaurants, and university
lecture halls."
About Weather Warlock
Weather Warlock is the new project from New Orleans organist / instrument builder Quintron.
This band is based entirely around his latest monster analog weather
synthesizer (also called "Weather Warlock"). Side A starts in the mire
of an electronic sunset with Quintron at the helm of
the Weather Warlock synth, twiddling knobs and responding to the day's
waning UV rays. Slowly, the Gulf Coast acid rock emerges courtesy of Aaron Hill (Eyehategod, King Louie's Missing Monuments) on Drums, Gary Wrong (Wizzard Sleeve, Vatican Dagger, etc) on supreme noise guitar, and Quintron on second guitar. Two of New Orleans more prolific free jazz reed players - Paul Grass (tenor sax) and Travis Blotskey (Baritone
sax) - help to glue this mass of southern scum rock to the lineage of
serious free music shamans such as Sun Ra and Peter Brotzman.
Side B presents the Weather Warlock instrument alone in the drone
zone - doing its solo thing during a very active and stormy New Orleans
sunset with Quintron occasionally tweaking the controls
in harmony. The resulting music is basically a greatest hits of what
mother nature and Weather Warlock are capable of by themselves.
It should be noted that although the core members of this band are
fairly regular - Q and Gary Wrong on guitar / Aaron Hill on drums - the
live show lineup is anything but constant. The touring version of Weather Warlock always includes improvisers and musical luminaries from whatever city the band happens to be in. A recent NYC lineup included Steve Shelley, Nels Cline, Sean Ono Lennon, Paula Henderson (Sun Ra Arkestra), and Luke Smith (Sun Ra Arkestra). The Miami lineup included noise guitar legend Rat Bastard, two DJs, and a Cuban percussionist. You can learn more about the instrument here:www.weatherfortheblind.
