Sunn O))) - To Curate Roadburn Festival 2011
Roadburn Festival is thrilled to unveil the curator for the 2011 edition of Roadburn: Sunn O))). The band, to be specific Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley, has agreed to curate the festival on Friday, April 15th, 2011 and host a special event.
As curator, Sunn O))) will personally select the bands that will play during their special event as well as perform a headline show. Sunn O))) will be Roadburn's fourth curator, following David Tibet in 2008, Neurosis in 2009 and Triptykon's Tom Gabriel Warrior at this year's festival.
Right now, Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley are gearing up for two major Sunn O))) events in September: performing Altar with Boris at ATP New York and Brooklyn's Masonic Temple, but you can expect to hear from them in the future with respect to their thoughts on the 2011 Roadburn festival and Sunn O)))'s performance.
Comments the organization: "We are overjoyed to join forces with Sunn O))) for the upcoming Roadburn festival. Their metal-based drone experimentations have proved groundbreaking and hugely influential for an entire new generation of musicians practicing the art of avant-garde metal, drone, post rock and psychedelica. Sunn O))) is also widely acclaimed for their eclectic collaborations with everyone from musicians Attila Csihar, Masami Akita (Merzbow), Boris, Steven Stapleton, Justin Broadrick, Oren Ambarchi, Ulver, Joe Preston, John Wiese, and Julian Cope to filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and visual artist Banks Violette.
Greg Anderson, who is also Goatsnake's songsmith and the entrepreneur behind Southern Lord Records, and Stephen O'Malley, a prolific improviser and composer who is well-known for being involved in Burning Witch, KHANATE, KTL and DACM/Gisèle Vienne theatre-works, have performed in different guises during various Roadburn festivals over the years, which is exactly why we felt they would be the ideal curators. Both of them consistently push the envelope musically, and one of our steadfast goals has been to make Roadburn a festival that explores the cutting edge while celebrating the familiar, too. With that in mind, we could think of no better spiritual guide for 2011 than Sunn O))).
We are truly looking forward to the new ideas and visions that the crossover drone duo will bring to the festival next year. When asked to sum up Roadburn in one word, "progressive" would be a fitting choice. Evolving and improving are part of this. The festival is a tribute to the open mindedness of its bands, curators and audience. The joy comes from expanding musical horizons, and with Sunn O))) acting as our curator we'll definitely be in for some artistic surprises."

Sunn O))) - Recorded Peel Session, Works On New CD
Solstice blessings to ye. On the shortest day of the year for the north, look to the sky and greet the moon as she vividly calls for the return of her muse, the solar eminence.
On December 9th SUNN O))) recorded our first Peel Session, sadly posthumously of Peel, but commissioned by him before his passing.
SUNN O))) "CANDLEWOLF OF THE GOLDEN CHALICE" (19'30") PEEL SESSION broadcasts live on 21st December 2004 on BBC1.
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/johnpeel/
for more details.
This track is a fusion of live old and new SUNN O))) approaches, with power trio drone/riffing combined with a significantly blissful drone section featuring harmonium & tamboura! The track should be archived on the BBC1 site for some time if you miss the broadcast...
Lineup for this session:
Rex Ritter: Lead MicroMoog
Savage Pencil: Tamboura
Anthony Sylvester: Harmonium, Sruti Box
Greg Anderson: Axe, MicroMoog
Stephen O'Malley: Gloom Axe, Harmonium
Augury of CandleWolf via SAVX 04
SUNN O))) has been tracking for the next album, BLACK1, at Scott Reeder's studio in the CA desert. Expect dowtuned primitive sci-fi weirdness. We plan to have this mixed by summertime and a release sometime in the early autumn if all continues to go well.
