Zach Hill tonight


Live in NYC? Tonight, Zach Hill is performing with Subtle and Pattern Is Movement at The Knitting Factory. I've heard that this is going to be Subtle's last show in a while too...

Tickets are still available here

Seems the Californian has been confusing people lately. It is understandable, considering how many bands he plays in and the numerous solo projects he begins and sometimes follows through. To make things less confusing, he issued this statement on his Myspace here. If you're too lazy to follow a link, here's the post in full.

HELLO ! TO THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN INQUIRING ABOUT WHAT AND WHO "PEER PRESSURE" MAY BE IT'S ACTUALLY MY DRUM SET! HAHA THATS STRAIGHT TALK! IN THE FUTURE THIS MONIKER WILL MOST LIKELY DEFINE A COLLECTIVE OF HUMAN BEINGS PLAYING SONGS AND MY DRUM SET, BUT FOR THIS TOUR ITS A METAPHOR FOR THE DRUMS AND THATS ABOUT ALL I'M BRINGING AND ALL IM PLAYING. TO MAKE IT CLEAR SO THERES NO CONFUSION ABOUT MY UPCOMING PERFORMANCES I AM PERFORMING A 45 MINUTE NON STOP HEAVILY IMPROVISED RENDITION OF THE TRACK "NECROMANCER" OFF OF MY NEWEST SOLO RELEASE. THIS WILL BE ME ON DRUMS AND THE LAPTOP ON LAPTOP OR THE IPOD ON IPOD. I PLAN ON PERFORMING THE MORE SONG ORIENTED MATERIAL OFF THE ALBUM WITH A FULL BAND IN THE THE FUTURE BUT FOR MANY REASONS IT WAS UNREALISTIC AT THIS JUNCTURE. SO THIS IS HOW I WILL BE EXPRESSING MYSELF IN THE NOW ASIDE FROM THE SHOWS WERE ITS NOTED THAT I'LL HAVE SOMEONE AWESOME SITTING IN WITH ME! THANKS FOR THE INTEREST AND AMAZING POSITIVITY AND SUPPORT YOU ALL PROJECT! HOPE TO SEE YOU WHERE YR DWELL'N!

His solo album is out now through Anticon. It's damn good, featuring Tyler Pope and No Age and loads of other Hill collaborators from now and before and ages ago.

You can buy it here through Insound

Go to the show tonight. Get blown away.
