Event: Visitation Rites & Vibes Management Present: Barn Owl + Noveller + Gunn-Truscinski Duo + Universe

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

On Saturday, September 17th, Visitation Rites and Vibes Management present a night of deep moods and maximalist simplicity at Brooklyn’s Shea Stadium. Witness a rare East Coast appearance by drone-driven San Francisco guitar duo Barn Owl after hearing the Branca and Chatham-inspired Noveller (New York’s Sarah Lipstate) loop a single guitar into the sound of a dozen. Former GHQ guitar slinger Steve Gunn brings his minutely colored, raga-inspired blues-folk to the stage with drummer John Truscinski of X.O.4. renown, and Los Angeles singer/songwriter Universe opens the night with a mystery backing band. Visit Facebook for more info.

Noveller, Paint On The Shadows (LP) / Red Rainbows (CD), No Fun Productions

Monday, September 7th, 2009

affiche_imageIn 2005, Sarah Lipstate stumbles upon a call for submissions: Ubuibi Records is looking for a troupe of female noisemakers for its new compilation project, Women Take Back the Noise. Noveller, her solo project, is born. But Lipstate is by no means a novice; for one year now, she has been cruising the open roads of Texas with Carlos Villarreal under the moniker One Umbrella, Telecaster in the trunk and pedals in her pockets. After relocating to Brooklyn, she expands her repertoire to include the minimalist punk of Rhys Chatham (she is a regular member of his ensembles) and to the verse-chorus noise rock of Parts & Labor, with whom she recently ended a year-long collaboration. Following in the footsteps of Lydia Lunch, Pat Place, Kim Gordon, and other female bigwigs of the No Wave era, Lipstate resurrects both their hardware and their certainties: no, the electric guitar is not only for men. And yes, noise is for girls, too.

Noveller, Paint On The Shadows (LP) / Red Rainbows (CD), No Fun Productions

Monday, September 7th, 2009

affiche_imageEn 2005, Sarah Lipstate tombe sur un appel à participation ; Ubuibi Records cherche des femmes prêtes à en découdre avec le noise pour un projet de compilation intitulé Women Take Back The Noise. Noveller, son projet solo, est né. Lipstate n’en est cependant pas à son coup d’essai ; à l’époque, elle arpente avec Carlos Villarreal les routes du Texas sous le nom de One Umbrella, Telecaster en bandoulière et pédales d’effets dans les poches. Depuis, installée à Brooklyn, elle a étendu son répertoire au punk minimaliste de Rhys Chatham (elle est un membre régulier de ses ensembles) et au noise rock couplet-refrain de Parts & Labor (elle vient de mettre fin à une collaboration de plus d’un an avec le groupe). Marchant dans les pas de Lydia Lunch, de Pat Place (gloires féminines du courant no wave) et de Kim Gordon, Lipstate leur emprunte chien et certitudes : non, la guitare électrique n’est pas réservée aux hommes ; oui, le noise, c’est aussi pour les filles.
