TLXN: THE LOVE X NOWHERE: Home

Our ex-drummer and great friend Adam Perry now writes album and show reviews for a number of publications including the Boulder Weekly, Denver Westword, and the Santa Fe New Mexican. In the past few months he has done features on greats such as David Byrne as well as hot ticket bands such as Animal Collective, the Black Angels, and Fleet Foxes. He compiles all these articles as well as some general musings on musics in a weekly blog titled Beautiful Buzz. In response to my response to some negative blogging about TLXN, he wrote a very thoughtful and kind article about the band, which can be read here:

thanks Adam.

granted the Independent could make a six-headed horse with scabies look good, but goddamn that's a nice stage to be on. the Ozrics played their brand of retro-futurismo prog-metal hippy twirling jam noodle rock-down, to a rather adoring crowd. tlxn played their brand of neo-psycheout, concept space dream, nu-gaze pop bliss, middle eastern compact cockiness, false flag name-calling to an understanding and receptive crowd. and where was tinker-bell and her dopamine laced fairy dust when we needed her most? out drinking a 40oz. in the back alley with the limo driver and the cook is where. so who's to deliver the muse when she calls in sick i ask. it's easy to go unearth the bones of spirits now gone, and with them construct a frankensteinian robot of rehashed and reworked ideas. but where do we get the powder to build new bones? collective will? questionable. the natural world or the city streets? a waiting game. last night's dream? can't remember. frustration and defiance? could be on to something there. i'm pretty certain that what's referred to as talent or genius is the culmination of unseen hours of dedication and hard work. that's the magic of showbiz. don't get me wrong, i can most definitely empathize with all the haters out there. i'll see your distrust and raise you some doubt. wouldn't be much without it, ya know? the rise and the fall is how we know we're moving, and god bless the one for making the other visible. take my hand, let's go round in circles, shall we?

What can we say but "thanks". It was a wonderful group of friends and fans, as well as special guests Jason Morris performing his spoken word piece "The Gyre" and Ara Anderson blowing his horn and glocking out to the songs. We'd love to keep doing it, so tell your friends just how much fun you had, and we'll be back at it before long.
