Slasher Risk, My Castle of Quiet Live Session, 28th Oct 2009
I'm running out of ways to gush about Slasher Risk. Point is, this relatively young band, a duo, doesn't seem to yet realize how good they are, or how amazing they're going to be in just a short while. That's a fine thing, because it means they're only doing what must be done—what comes naturally. And what comes naturally is dynamic improvised music, with one limb occasionally stuck in something that remembers rock, but just as often or more so, dances in the air above the unimaginable maw of the Lovecraftian abyss. Frightening to some, but not to Andy or Sara, who do it seemingly just because it's their thing.
A two-person Can? Lou and Sterling? Moe and Sterling? Or a guitar-noise duo whose work makes Solmania seem "uptight"—just who the hell are Slasher Risk?
Here are 37+ minutes that at least put us closer to an answer:

I hope somebody took photo/video of their set at the Abandon Ship Halloween Show. Guitars lit on fire, guitars smashed, physical confrontation, beer thrown, water thrown, stuff destroyed, and the most unholy racket you could hope for.
Hey East Coast... if you have a Slasher itch you need to scratch and want to witness the mayhem live (and buy a cd in person) in a town near (enough to) you, prepare to have your brain fucked because as luck would have it Slasher Risk and friends Grasshopper (MCoQ alum from August) will be hauling ass up and down this coast in the coming weeks, visit SR's myspace for details. http://www.myspace.com/slasherrisk
