Unholy Modal Rounders
July 4th Weekend 1975
Inman Square Men's Bar
Boston

Master Soundboard Reel

Peter Stampfel (Violin, Banjo, Vocals), Paul Presti (Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals), Kirby Pines (bass), anyone else? I don't remember.

The taper's Notes:

I first saw the UMR in May of 1975 at CBGBs. I asked Peter if I could tape, he said sure. When I heard that they were playing in Boston for July 4th I packed my reel and headed up from NYC to join them. It was a fairly eventful weekend. During the drive through Connecticut I heard on the radio that NRBQ would be playing at Powder Ridge that Sunday so I stopped off on the way home and taped it off the soundboard and will post that sooner or later. That's another story. Copies of that are around anyway.

After the first night's gig of the UMRs, Michael Hurley showed up at the house that we were staying at and since he brought along a bunch of demo tapes that he had, well, I copied those also. I didn't get a whole lot of sleep. I don't think that I can post those but I'll ask him the next time that I see him. Could be 10 years the way things are going.

The UMR tapes have sat on a shelf for just about thirty years now and the statute of limitations must have expired. The mix is a bit strange. The vocals are mostly in one channel and the instruments are split among both channels. Usually I did a blind mix of my two mikes into the soundboard feed, adjusting the volume until I saw the levels change. Taping in small places requires something like that since much of the music is not piped through the board. There was likely only a single mono board feed going into one channel and it sounds like I miked Peter's amp into the other channel, then mixed another mike with Paul and Kirby's amps into the board channel. Maybe.

This is also pretty early UMR. Charlie Messing hadn't joined the band yet and he added quite a bit to the lineup. Jeff Berman played drums later but I guess he hadn't joined yet either. I seem to hear a guitar that I can't identify on these tapes and it might be Kirby.

A caveat: I understand that there will be an official UMR album released sooner or later. Those guys did not make a whole lot of money and I don't want to be responsible for costing them any sales. If you like this music, please support Peter and the others by buying a copy or two. They will make swell gifts for all of your friends. Besides, you'll likely get the full band on that one. And if you don't have Have Moicy in your collection, buy that now. You won't be sorry.

Paul Presti died a few years after this recording, and recently a relative posted a message to the Have Moicy list asking for remembrances of Paul. I really liked Paul and I thought that his voice was a perfect counter to Peter. So I dug the tapes out and spent some time preparing a CD to send. Without meaning to sound hokey I think that Paul still lives through the music; certainly he does for me. And once a CD is out there in the real world, well, it might as well spread around. So this is dedicated to Paul.

Usually when I prepare a show for posting I just run it off as is. This time I ran through four separate burns before I was reasonably happy with it. I didn't have a whole lot of money, or tape, back in 1975. I cut out some between song stuff just to make sure that I got all the music. So I spent some time making the transitions as even as I could, and evened out some of the volume swings and a few assorted pops, crackles, and clicks. The CD is basically the first two (of three) sets from July 5th and since I had some time left over, I picked a few tracks from July 4th and stuck them at the end.

Enjoy.

Fred Frith/Bob Ostertag
Public Access Synthesizer Studio (PASS)
NYC
January 7 1983

A little background.....

PASS was a loft in NY where, as the name suggests, you
could rent all sorts of advanced electronic gear, you could
also rent the space out for performances. It was very
reasonable and artist friendly.

This tape comes from a late midnight set when Frith and
Ostertag were promoting their "Voice Of America" LP.
This tape, like the one I made that night is incomplete.
The set ran about 55 minutes total and consisted of 2
pieces . This tape is missing the first few minutes, the
applause and announcements in between the pieces and
the last few minutes. I cannot locate the tape I made.

A few years back I made a combination of all the extant
tapes that was almost complete....I may have even seeded
it back on Share The Groove....I probably traded it...can't
remember, but If anyone has that copy, please seed it as
mine has eluded me for months now.

On to the music.......

The first piece is a typical non-idiomatic free improv....
Fred plays his "tabletop" homemade guitars, and Ostertag
had a giant modular Synth and was manipulating tape
loops.

The second piece was one of the most astounding
avant-garde performances I had seen up to that time. It
consists of Ostertag reading from 2 sources....one is a TV
Guide fluff piece about some soap-opera actress rescuing
cats, the other is graphic quotes from victims of political
violence in El Salvador. He reads them both straight
through and then juxtaposes the 2 articles in a sort-of
live-action version of the William Burroughs cut-up
experiments, all the while Fred clatters along with this
narrative and Ostertag manipulates his synths. The piece
built to an incredible climax which left more than one
audience member gasping and slack-jawed....quite
powerful, if not a lot of fun....unfortunately the tape runs
out about 4 or 5 minutes short of the climax.
