a ‘better edited’ version of all this will appear on our website at some point. it does make reasonably interesting reading though… honestly…
all the way from montreal, canada, we have something very special for you indeed… involving one of the most interesting supergroups to date… featuring founding members of godspeed you! black emperor, silver mt. zion, Jackie-o motherfucker, set fire to flames… hmm… it could just about work… read on…
hrsta (pronounced her-shta), is the brainchild of mike moya who, along with a revolving cast of musicians, has performed under the name since 2000. hrsta’s critically lauded debut, l'eclat du ciel etait insoutenable, was released on fancy records in 2001. the band’s latest release, stem stem in electro, features eric craven, harris newman, genevieve heistek, beckie foon, and sophie trudeau. brooke crouser, in addition to craven and newman, join moya live. hrsta harnesses traditional and otherworldly sound as moya sings lyrics cribbed from lost faerie tales in a voice that recalls a more blissed-out daniel johnson or a less blissed-out wayne coyne. moya was a founding member of godspeed you! black emperor, contributing to their first two albums. he is also a member of set fire to flames, molasses, and the ever-elusive lonesome hanks. most recently moya, craven and newman have been performing in elizabeth anka vajagic’s band.
eric craven is half of the duo hangedup, and has worked extensively with numerous other artists of note, including a silver mt. zion, tony conrad, sackville, sixtoo, and mitch akiyama.
harris newman works primarily as a mastering engineer in montreal. he has released two solo albums of fingerpicked guitar under his own name, and has appeared on recordings by esmerine, sackville, hangedup, and many others.
brooke crouser is a member of jackie-o motherfucker and set fire to flames. she has toured and recorded extensively with various groups, most notably the swords project.
genevieve heistek (hangedup), beckie foon (a silver mt. zion, esmerine), and sophie trudeau (a silver mt. zion, gybe) collectively play as the mile end ladies string auxiliary, and make up the string section of set fire to flames.
carla bozulich is best known as the singer from la-based band gerladine fibbers and as the woman who re-made willie nelson’s “red headed stranger” - with willie nelson as a special guest. carla has on of the most unique voices in any genre. her work is at once brutally raw and weirdly visionary.
born in new york city, she grew up a tomboy and girl protector in san pedro, ca. carla’s first appearance on record is gary kail’s album from 1982 called zurich 1916, on which she does dada-inspired worldplay, “you know, telephone and vacuum cleaner stuff”. she sang in a couple of groups- the neon veins, and invisible chains, the latter of which recorded an album for the minutemen’s new alliance when carla was 18 years old.
carla disappeared from daylight for a few years, re-emerged, and was soon causing traffic jams as the gamine howler in the confrontational sex/sound assault outfit ethyl meatplow. in 1993, before ethyl’s last gasp, carla founded the geraldine fibbers, going on to record and tour incessantly with that band until 1998. scarnella followed, a duo formed with nels cline, and a decidedly uncommercial, open, experimental project.
in 2001 she scored a los angeles production of jean genet’s the maids and the award-winning feature film by hook or by crook, which she scored and for which she compiled the soundtrack, went to sundance in 2003. that same year saw the release of carla’s new rendition of willie nelson’s “red headed stranger”. she has also explored mixed media and performance art, including a commission for the getty museum in los angeles.
tickets will be on sale shortly. the capacity at the note is very limited as we know so please get your tickets early as this is set to be an absolutely legendary show!
