Mothers w/ Axxa/Abraxas @ The Mothlight
2017-06-03 21:30
21+, $10
Mothers began in 2013 as the solo project of Athens, Georgia-based visual artist Kristine Leschper while she studied printmaking at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. Now a quartet, their debut album ‘When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired,’ released via Grand Jury Music and Wichita Recordings, has earned the young band high praise from the press, including from NPR Music (‘First Listen’), The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME (‘Radar’), and Q Magazine, among many others, while the band themselves have been included on numerous ‘Musicians to know’ lists for 2016 including from Stereogum, Vulture, Spotify, Paper Magazine and others. Comprised of eight original songs – the majority of which were written while Leschper was finishing art school in early 2014 – Mothers’ debut LP is an introduction to the foundations of the young band, a snapshot of a particular period of their genesis that maps both where they began and where they are heading.
Tumbling out of the mind of Asheville, NC resident Ben Asbury, Axxa/Abraxas oozes with psychedelic bursts of fuzz, organ and synth as a backdrop to solid, jangley pop tunes. After a number of early tape releases the first Axxa record was released in 2014 by Captured Tracks. 2017 will see the release of the 2nd Axxa LP, ‘Family Alta.

Kikagaku Moyo w/ Al Lover, Acid Reign @ The Mothlight . FREE MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY!
2017-05-28 21:00
21+ FREE
Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様 (Japanese for Geometric Patterns) is the musical union between five free spirits. Go Kurosawa (drums, Vocals) and Tomo Katsurada (Guitar, Vocals) formed the band in 2012 as a free artist’s collective. They met Kotsuguy (Bass) while he was recording noise from vending machines and Akira (Guitar) through their university. Ryu Kurosawa had been studying Sitar in India, upon returning home he found the perfect outlet for his practice.
They recorded their first EP in a day and posted it to Bandcamp. On the other side of the world, a small label from Greece was listening and offered to press a limited run of LPs. Interest picked up through the blogging community and the band found tight group of dedicated fans around the globe. Since 2013 the band has released two full lengths, an EP, and several singles. They have toured Australia, the United States, Europe and Japan extensively. Kikagaku Moyo love to connect with people through performing, whether they are playing in a barn deep in a Swedish forest, on a desolate Mediterranean beach, or beside a sleepy river at 2014’s Levitation Fest they bring out the magic in everyone present.
Their latest release “House in the Tall Grass” (Guruguru Brain) was recorded in the winter of 2015/16 in Tokyo. Their delicate use of melody and soft vocal harmonies contrast seamlessly with fuzzed out sitar riffs and feedback. To Kikagaku Moyo a song is like a breath of wind through the leaves or a fish jumping from the water. Their music is a conversation—sometimes delicate and tender other times explosive, but always human and always changing.
