MV and EE

The New England psych-raga rockers MV+EE and the Golden Road are playing tonight (1/20) at Cake Shop (set at 11pm, $7, 21+), and tomorrow (1/21) at Monster Island Basement with Spectre Folk, Kurt Vile, Pink Reason, and Christian DeRoek of Little Gold (8pm, $7, all ages). After a Jan/Feb tour down the East Coast, MV+EE will then get back to NYC for a February 27 gig at Lutheran Church of the Messiah in Greenpoint with Marissa Nadler and Mountainhood (a.k.a. Michael Curtis Hilde who's hosting the gig as part of his The Story series - this one is Chapter XII: Blisses).

Today, MV+EE and the Golden Road dropped a new duo-and-friends LP/CD, Drone Trailer, this time on San Francisco's Dicristina Stair Builders label. The band, fond of recording and releasing albums, worked with Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label on 2007's Gettin' Gone and last year's Astral Bleachers/Big Moment limited-edition live bootleg. The band's blog also reports that "[MV+EE] got some deep live archives being waxed for heroine celestial agriculture[EE's label] for the jan/feb tour as well as a sweet deluxe C.O.M. - all heads be united." I'm not really sure what that last part means...

Thurston Moore recently gave his Top 10 of 2008 - listing MV Carbon's The Dislodged Parahelion CD at No. 7. MV Carbon, a Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist, is a similarly dubbed, but totally different person than MV+EE's Matt Valentine. All tour dates and a video below...

MV is a drunk butthead

Considering that scenesters have a violent, confusing Long Island/Connecticut/New Jersey based prejudice against jam bands, they sure love some bad ones.

If there is ever a need for a hippy stereotype to appear on The Simpsons, we need look no further. Have you ever heard this dude talk? He sounds like Wolfgang Jack.

I suspect you mean "Wolfman Jack".

That's a terrible photograph of the two, though - it makes them look like a couple of conceited, supercilious twats.

Or maybe that's not such a bad photograph after all.

They are two of the sweetest, most appreciative musicians I've encountered in a long time. Plus their dog is really cute.

why are you listing thier show in February, when they have a show tomorrow?

The Boston show last Sunday was nice, real nice. The lap steel guitar parts that Erika was providing sounded great.

And that photo of Matt without a beard just looks funny. He looks like Geddy Lee.

"why are you listing thier show in February, when they have a show tomorrow?"

You all must be blind. I believe it says: "are playing tonight (1/20) at Cake Shop (set at 11pm, $7, 21+), and tomorrow (1/21) at Monster Island Basement with Spectre Folk, Kurt Vile, Pink Reason, and Christian DeRoek of Little Gold (8pm, $7, all ages)."

No, I mean Wolfgang Jack Van Halen.

So many comments about the personalities. 1) have you never heard of stage personas? 2) they've been totally nice and sweet when I've talked to them at shows. Dunno, I hate jam bands and love them: why? Maybe they're not a jam band. Or if they are, then so were the trux. All I know is they make me happy.

They make you happy?

Posted by Anonymous | January 23, 2009 9:04 AM

Umm, yeah. Like that's weird.
