Absolute Punk Interviews David Gergen

Photo by: Michelle Fontaine

With influences like Wilco, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones, David Gergen talks about his music and answers random questions with AbsolutePunk.

Why should people listen to your band?

They should listen if they want music that has a lot going on underneath the surface. Lyrically and musically, I try and create original pieces of work that force the listener to pay attention. I don't view my music as easily digestible pop candy, it's deeper and more thought provoking. So, for people that like that, I welcome you into my world.

If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?

I think as far as a good fit for touring together I would pick someone similar to my vibe, probably Wilco, maybe Arcade Fire. I would love to play with Johnny Cash but that won't happen until we meet in the afterlife.

What is something that most fans don't know about you?

That I am into cooking. I love to cook... Thai, Italian, French. I am fascinated by food the same way as I am music. It's never ending and there are certain basic rules that you need to understand before you can break down the door and go in a new direction, so I love that it requires a lot of practice and can't be faked.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Cook, hike, travel, take a long drive somewhere random....hang with animals. I do love movies too.

GLG Fresh Mp3 Friday: Working Out Your New Years Resolution

New Year = New resolution, and you've promised yourself that this time (sort of like last time) your New Year's resolution will last longer than a week. We get it. Everyone slips up on the "healthy" eating habits once in a while or skips a day of discipline at the gym.

Believe me, giving in to temptation can be costly, like the extra seven pounds added to my scale. Giving myself the benefit of the doubt, I decided my scale was broken. The ugly truth - it's my waistline that needs fixing, not the scale. So, I've decided to stay motivated with my favorite tracks and hit the gym.

Need to get motivated? Listen and download GLG tracks that will help whip you back into shape!

The Handsome Family Joins Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy to Play Boulder Theater’s Sold Out 75th Anniversary Shows January 7th And 8th

Those lucky enough to score tickets to the sold out Jeff Tweedy shows at the Boulder Theater must have four leaf clover collections. The Handsome Family will be joining Wilco’s front-man for the January 7th and 8th shows which celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Boulder Theater.

The Handsome Family will begin a tour of the west coast January 19th in support of the self-released Scattered: A Further Collection of Lost Demos, Orphaned Songs and Odd Covers. The band has revisited their past for this album and gathered up treasures; a smattering of covers, alternate takes, unreleased songs and bits of their history. The CD is only available at tour dates and on their website, http://www.handsomefamily.com.The tour, which begins in Vancouver will take them down the west coast to Santa Monica.

The Handsome Family are known for Rennie’s evocative, descriptive lyrics, Brett’s deadpan baritone and their sparse, traditional bluegrass instrumentation. Their work has garnered praise from Pitchfork, Billboard, Spin, The BBC, Mojo and more. Their songs have been covered by many artists, most notably: Andrew Bird, Christy Moore, Cerys Matthews, The Sadies and Sally Timms. Honey Moon, the Sparks’ eighth studio album was released in 2009 to celebrate their 20th year of marriage.

Since starting Wilco in 1994 Jeff Tweedy has written original songs for seven Wilco albums, sold millions of records worldwide, won two Grammy Awards, and earned rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Wilco’s latest studio album, 2009’s Grammy-nominated Wilco (The Album) landed on many critics’ lists as one of the year’s best albums and Rolling Stone magazine cited Wilco’s 2002 album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as the 3rd best album of the decade. Tweedy has also toured frequently as a solo artist, playing intimate unscripted acoustic sets that draw from his 400-plus song repertoire. A departure from Wilco’s carefully orchestrated, sonically complex performances, the solo concerts showcase Tweedy’s prolific output as a songwriter, his proficiency as a guitarist and his wry sense of humor.

From opera to movies to disco to rock - the historic Boulder Theater has a diverse and colorful past that is being continued with a thriving present and is primed for an exciting future. The building as it stands today was designed by Robert Boller of Kansas City and had its Opening Night on January 9, 1936 with a screening of the Paramount Pictures film, "A Bride Comes Home".

Seafarer Shows their Hiding Places to a Wider Audience

Sometimes you don’t know something was missing until after you’ve found it. Take Chicago’s indie-psych-folk rock quartet, Seafarer. The addition of another guitarist; collaboration with recording engineer Jake Westermann; and most of all Hiding Places, the EP he helped create; have come together to give this band the sound and the direction they were looking for. Hiding Places, released in May, will be re-released to spread the kaleidoscope of sounds they achieve – rock, folk, psych, pop – to a wider audience.

Patrick Grzelewski (Vocals/Guitar), Eric Sneider (Bass) and Matt Spies (Drums/Percussion) had played in another band together and out of that group they formed Seafarer. Grzelewski says of their three-piece days, “Being faced with the limitations of a three piece dynamic and the opportunity to write a whole batch of new material proved pivotal in shaping and fully realizing a unique aesthetic. Taylor came along at just the right time, when the group was missing something that seemed completely intangible.”With Taylor Wood in the mix, the group’s songwriting changed. Seafarer began creating songs together and more organically, developing music without forcing it into a mold.


Seafarer took these songs to Engine Studios in Chicago, and worked with recording engineer Jake Westermann to create a cohesive aesthetic for Hiding Places. “Creative input from Westermann was both a new experience for us, and one of the single most important elements of the process,” says Grzelewski. “He pushed us without overstepping his bounds, knowing that we were capable of much more.” And the final piece of the Seafarer’s puzzle, is Hiding Places itself, which is full of unique gems. Songs like the mercurial and heady “The Archipelago” and even its ensuing partner, “Functional,” with its psychedelic stomp and open-ended structure, are very simply, vivid proof of a band putting all of their merits to work.

Taking all of their roots, all of their influences and all of their specific styles together and morphing them into a solid brand of good ol’ rock and roll is what Seafarer is about. Being modest and humble has always been important – Hiding Places signifies a moment where not only influences like Wilco, Fugazi and even Sonic Youth come to play – and Seafarer take their roots and put them on display for all to witness.

Hüsker Dü’s Grant Hart, Kaisercartel And Golden Bloom Play Middle East On September 29th

Sharing the stage once with one of Hüsker Dü’s founding members is something to be proud of, but twice in the same week, well that’s just plain awesome. Such is the life of multi-instrumentalist Shawn Fogel, the front-man and mastermind of Golden Bloom, who will be playing two shows with ex- Hüsker Dü member, Grant Hart: September 26th at Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live and September 29th at Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, MA. Brooklyn’s KaiserCartel will be joining Golden Bloom and Hart for the Middle East show.

Golden Bloom is Shawn Fogel’s soaring vocals, shimmering guitar hooks; whizzing keyboards and twinkling sounds. In fact, Golden Bloom is all Shawn Fogel, at least for the purposes of recording. The Middle East show will give audiences a chance to see him solo, too. He has been rapidly adding to his impressive list of bands he’s played with recently to include Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Hey Marseilles, Telekinesis and Sea Wolf.

Fogel is back in the studio with Peter Katis (Frightened Rabbit, The National, Interpol and Tokyo Police Club), to produce some tracks on the follow up to Fan the Flames, which was compared favorably to Summerteeth-era Wilco, The New Pornographers, and Big Star and loved by critics and fans alike. He’s has also been busy with Neutral Uke Hotel, a side project that has been taking the world by storm with live performances of Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over The Sea which is played entirely on ukulele.
Grant Hart is best known as being a founding member of Hüsker Dü. His latest album Hot Wax is his first solo studio album in 10 years. KaiserCartel is made up of Courtney Kaiser and Benjamin Cartel. Their latest album Secret Transit is full of delicate and sensual but nonetheless punchy folk-pop.

Golden Bloom Plays Philadelphia F/M Showcase with Robbers On High Street and Grant Hart of Husker Du

When power pop worlds collide, magic is made. Golden Bloom’s Shawn Fogel will play a selection of Golden Bloom and Canadian Invasion songs with Philadelphia’s Canadian Invasion at the World Café Live on September 26th as part of the Philadelphia F/M Festival. Both bands are known for socially conscious, catchy pop, so audiences are guaranteed a fun, high energy show. Also playing the Green Room Music Source Showcase are Husker Du’s Grant Hart, Robbers On High Street, The Melismatics, Pearl and the Beard and REMMA.

Golden Bloom is back in the studio with Peter Katis (Frightened Rabbit, The National, and Tokyo Police Club), to produce tracks on the follow up to Fan the Flames, which was compared favorably to Summerteeth-era Wilco, The New Pornographers, and Big Star. Shawn Fogel has also been busy with Neutral Uke Hotel, a side project that has been taking the world by storm with live performances of Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over The Sea which is played entirely on ukulele.

Canadian Invasion’s latest album, Three Cheers for the Invisible Hand, is an ode to suburbia filled with character sketches and infectious melodies. The band, which possesses Brit-pop sensibilities, is considered Philadelphia’s best power pop band.

THE PHILADELPHIA FILM AND MUSIC FESTIVAL or "PHILLY F/M" for short is a four-day festival taking place at over 30 music and film venues, with free outdoor stages, day parties and a record fair. Philly F/M will take place on Thursday, Sept 23 - Sunday, Sept 26th, 2010 and will feature a wide variety of regional, national and international musicians and films. The festival strives to be an annual event that effectively merges independent film and music in new and exciting ways. Instead of segregating them to different venues, the festival will combine the aural and the visual in dynamic settings to engage and foster new audiences for both mediums. More information on the festival can be found at http://www.phillyfmfest.com/.

Golden Bloom Returns to Studio with Producer Peter Katis

Wooooooooooooooooo! We are shouting at GLG! Golden Bloom (OK, well, Shawn Fogel) is finally working on another album, which will not doubt be stellar. We seriously can not wait for his next work of pop genius.

Fogel has begun recording new Golden Bloom material, once again with producer Peter Katis! If you haven't heard, Katis is an uber producer who has worked wonders on records for The National (their last five records), Frightened Rabbit, The Swell Season, Interpol and Tokyo Police Club, to name just a few. The magic began this month when Fogel returned to Tarquin Studios with the prolific pop-maker Peter Katis. Golden Bloom's last full-length, Fan the Flames, which was compared favorably to Summerteeth-era Wilco, The New Pornographers, and Big Star and loved by critics and fans alike was recorded by Katis

So what can we expect from Fogel this time? Power pop? Rest assured. Intelligent lyrics? Certainly. The best music Golden Bloom has ever made? Absolutely. Fogel says, “[The experience] is similar to Fan the Flames in that I'm trying to make the best music I can in the moment, but I'd like to think whenever you work on something new you're in some way trying to out-do your previous work. I think the songs are really strong and more mature than the last batch of songs that comprised Fan the Flames.”

Wait, it's going to be even better than Fan the Flames? That's serious. Someone is going to need to fan us.

The Other Side - Producer Vince Casamatta

Growing up in Ohio, producer Vince Casamatta remembers going to see the Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall and it always stuck with him how passionate the musicians appeared on stage. “I was always the kid who was pushing everyone too hard, being the perfectionist, taking all the fun out of it. I think I’m still that way!” says Casamatta. After moving to Chicago a decade ago, like many music producers, he admits he played guitar and drums in a variety of what he says were “bad rock bands.” After he put the sticks and picks down, he got into music engineering and producing, working with bands like OK Go, electro-rockers Hey Champ, The Prairie Cartel (Scott Lucas of Local H and members of Caviar) and many other Chicago-based bands. Casamatta is currently settled working at Engine Music Studios (where musicians Bonnie Prince Billy, Iron and Wine, Wilco, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's have all recorded). Not only is he a studio producer and engineer, he also does live sound, working with They Might Be Giants and countless others. Every producer is different and works in their own way. Meet Vince Casamatta, he likes big drums.

1. How would you describe your role as a producer?
Getting people to do what I want, while simultaneously getting them to think they came up with the idea. I’ve been lucky to have the privilege to tour with bands like They Might Be Giants and OK Go and mix them live recently. They are both masters of production in their live shows. They’ve definitively taught me there has to be a vision behind everything – a driver behind the wheel, and everyone chips in to fulfill that vision. That’s what making an album is like.

2. How long have been producing?
As long as I’ve been in bands or engineering – a long time.

3. Who are some of the most noteworthy artists you've produced in the past?
I’ve done some work with an up-and-coming folk-rocker by the name of Joe Pug. He came to me a while back when he needed to put together a full band rock arrangement for his debut album. Up to then it had mainly just been him and his guitar. The hard drive literally caught fire upon completion of the tracking. Our work was almost lost forever! But I’m happy to say it ended up being the first single off his new album (Messenger) – and it’s enjoying steady radio rotation while he enjoys an ever growing success. I’ve also worked extensively with Chicago electro-rockers Hey Champ. Long ago I was set to the task of combining electronic drums and synths with their hard-hitting real life drummer. It wasn’t always easy straddling the line between big rock drums and hard electronic samples. What we came up with was a very produced and thorough pop album (Star), which has just been released this July.

4. What bands are you currently working with?
Right now I’m finishing up a debut for another electro-rock band that really leans more towards electro-punk; if you will. They go by the name Battlestations. I’m also knee deep in production on a full length for more of an indie-pop band by the name of Farewell Captain. This band features a few members from previous indie favorites Light FM.

5. Do you mainly work out of one studio or do you go where a band needs you?
Lately, I’ve settled in at Engine Studios in Chicago. It’s an amazing facility. They’ve got everything I need to do my job with a healthy collection of cool and/or vintage musical instruments and a crazy collection of microphones. It makes my clients feel like they’re really into something special – and that’s an important feel to have. But in the past, I’ve run my own studio and I still like to hop around from time to time to mix it up. I’m actually a big fan of location recording, especially for drums. I like taking drums to big open spaces or large rock clubs and mic them up after running them through the PA or with a bunch of room mics. I like big drums.

6. How do you know if you, as a producer are a good match for a band?
This happens the first time we talk on the phone or as late in the process as the first day of production. That’s why pre-production becomes somewhat of a vetting process for me and that’s why I’m so frustrated when bands want to coast through it. It becomes quickly obvious if I’m a bad fit for a band when we spend all of our time justifying our artistic decisions to one another and we can’t move to trust our own skill sets. If it’s clear an artist isn’t willing to part with some aesthetic oversight than it’s clear I’m an unneeded expense. I like to find this out before I start pressing that REC button – but that’s not always the case.

7. What's the best piece of advice you'd give a band who thinks they are ready to record?
They’re probably not. I would tell them to rehearse. Record your rehearsals (so you can hear every part). Then make a list of what parts are lacking or tough and rehearse. Then rehearse some more! If you want to end up with an album you’re proud of and have a fun time making it, you need to have it down. I can make musicians in pitch and on time with my computer, but it’s demoralizing to the players. And if we spend too much time getting the core tracks done, there’s never any budget left to explore creative avenues and take our time mixing. It’s an unhappy place to be, and yet so easy to avoid.

8. What kind of inside experience does being a musician yourself help with producing?
Being able to get around on guitar and drums gives me a lot of context to the music I record for other people. But it really serves the purpose of bridging a gap. Producers/Engineers live in a very different world than musicians, but we have to try and get along. Playing just helps me bridge the gap - put myself in their shoes. Empathy is worth a lot more than fancy mics sometimes. It allows me to create a world around my musicians to bring out the best performances.

9. What's your favorite thing about producing?
Everyone’s got his or her own motivations for being in this bizarre line of work. For me, it’s just a worthy challenge everyday. One album can consist of hundreds of thousands of individual decisions, it’s an amazing feeling to manage that process for people and end up with a great outcome. The first bands I loved for their production were groups like the Pixies, the Clash, the Beatles, Blur. It always sounded so effortless – it didn’t need to be polished. And when I’m doing something that sounds effortless – that’s how I know I’m on the right track.

10. What's your least favorite thing about producing?
It’s no secret that the music business is in a bad way. What I hate is that the art form of production has been relegated to a line item on an expense sheet. In reality, there’s less desire to pursue the art of making albums if albums don’t make artists money. That’s why production has gotten so gimmicky. I’ve gotten very fast at the nuts and bolts of recording- editing and setups. I’m always looking to streamline a necessary step so we have the luxury to pursue other desires. Like recording drums in an empty rock club, or spending an hour seeing if five pitch corrected vocals sound good through a Leslie speaker, or banging on a metal staircase with hammers to see if it will make a cool drum kit if played back at half speed. These are all things I’ve tried to varied degrees of success.

11. In addition to the music you're working on, what current albums have you been listening to lately?
The Dig – Electric Toys, OK Go – Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, The Black Keys – Attack and Release. Also, the Royal Bangs, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Lasers and Fast and Sh!t, Russian Circles, MSTRKRFT, LCD Soundsystem’s new album (This is Happening). So much good music out there, I know I’m leaving out a bunch.

The Other Side highlights those talented and very important folks behind the scenes of the music that we listen to. The Other Side will feature producers, engineers, booking agents, band photographers, online radio DJs, etc. It's pretty awesome. Click Here to Read More..

Staff Infection: Sonic Shoulder Mixtape

It’s one of those weeks. You know, the kind where it seems like we’re all living Nintendo cheat sequences (up up, down down, left right, left right…). Even for a tragically optimistic, glass-half-full kind of girl like myself, the weight of the world feels just a little bit heavier at the moment. For those of you who are hitting a rough spot, are feeling the teeth of life sinking in, or as Jeff Tweedy of Wilco says, are in need a “sonic shoulder to cry on,” I’ve complied a few cheer-up songs that have been floating through my speakers, as a reminder that what goes down must come up. (This is a scientific fact according to Roberts’ Law of Emotional Physics). Until that happens, here’s a little audio bear hug courtesy of Green Light Go.

Wilco, “Wilco (The Song)” from Wilco (The Album)
The Flaming Lips, “Do You Realize??” from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Electric Light Orchestra, “Mr. Blue Sky” from Out of the Blue
George Harrison, “Here Comes the Sun” from Let it Roll
Eels, “Beginner’s Luck” from Hombre Lobo
Modest Mouse, “Float On” from Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Nada Surf, “Always Love” from The Weight Is a Gift
Ryan Adams, “Chin Up, Cheer Up” from Demolition

Each Monday a different Green Light Go staff member will let you in on what songs have infected their ears for the week, while giving you the opportunity to share in the experience yourself.

Staff Infection: Family Ties Mixtape

What is a mixtape?

To some people, a mixtape is simply a collection of songs. For others, mixes are used to prepare for a significant event, like a first date or a road trip. Since I spend part of my day teaching Literature to community college students who often look older than I do and the other part of my day scouting out new clients for Green Light Go, I’m always on the move.

My iPod (which I endearingly refer to as “Pod Stewart”) is my saving grace, because my music listening habits are about as fluid as my lifestyle. One thing I love about my iPod is that I can use the “On-the-Go” feature to make a mini mixtape at the click of a button, to kick start my day or create a short list of favorite songs to listen to at a moment’s notice.

In the wake of Father’s Day, I’ve decided to make a little mixtape that relates to one of the most important themes in my life: my family.

When I was around five years old, my father (a former rock drummer), took our family on a trip to Graceland so that I could visit the home of my idol at the time, Elvis Presley. Growing up, I inherited my knowledge of rock history from my Uncle Dave, the man who presented me with my first Sony Walkman and The Beatles’ Help! cassette tape on my sixth birthday. Last summer, Dave and I had the pleasure of seeing Ian McLagan perform (one of our favorite Faces), which will always be one of my fondest memories. Ultimately, my family has been instrumental in shaping my love and appreciation for music, so I made this Monday Mixtape with them in mind.

Moving forward, my future Staff Infection columns will feature the Monday Mixtapes I create, so you can plug in a set of ear buds and race across town with me.

Monday Mixtape – Family Ties

Sam Roberts, “Detroit ’67” from Love at the End of the World

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, “Home” from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

The Beatles, “Help!” from Help!

Coconut Records, “Drummer” from Davy

Faces, “Ooh La La” from Ooh La La

Wilco, “Hummingbird” from A Ghost is Born

Pete Yorn, “Suspicious Minds” (Elvis Presley Cover) from Live From New Jersey
