Description:
Here’s one for those of you who particularly cherished Hot Air Balloon Ride’s Oktoberfest c30 this past winter, a release that garnered such critical accolades as “shows no signs of being anything other than dicking around for just long enough to be worrying.” The Reel Deel, captured in action at Cleveland’s Doubting Thomas Gallery, is the trio of John Elliott (Emeralds, Outer Space, Hot Air Balloon Ride), Ryan Kuehn (Thursday Club, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Hot Air Balloon Ride), and myself, in tapes-only mode.
This was a ridiculously killer/annihilated February night, of which I remember mostly all of us standing around a table laughing hysterically and the room glowing yellow while I tried to make my eyes focus on a massive fucking heap of tape. Giant flapping jaws of the cosmos tunnel jams, decked out in stoned giggling and paranoid whispers. Seriously counterintuitive water features. Comments from those in attendance included, “I knew that Jerry was here.” No shit.
Notes:
Recorded live by Ryan Kuehn at Doubting Thomas Gallery, Cleveland, OH.
