Right before his upcoming CD release gauntlet Dosh dropped by our studio to perform a rare stripped down performance on Radio Noir.
The loop genius was armed with only a few pedals, a single keyboard, and a stolen road sign (don't ask us where we got it). The light rig forced Dosh to get creative with his percussion loops, and it left plenty of room for spontaneity.
There hasn't been a Dosh show formatted quite like this one. It did have the familiar chordal swells that provide the groundwork for his trademark melodic arpeggiations, but this performance was sparse. The sparsity yielded intensity, and it will surely have you itching to hear the rest of the album.
Artists like Dosh only come around once in a generation. He isn't just a songwriter. He is a sound architect, and the Twin Cities are lucky to be the home of such an inventive mind.
Tommy drops on April 13th, so be sure to pick it up.
Dosh will also have three CD release shows this weekend:
4.9.10: 7th Street Entry w/ Face Candy and Ghost Band
4.10.10: MacPhail Center for Music
4.11.10: Bedlam Theater w/ White Hinterland
