The Southern Shelter live music blog last week added two more E6-related concerts to their archive.  First up is a 2006 set from Circulatory System (10/11/06, at the Caledonia in Athens).  The set is a mix of old songs and new.  Also of interest is the 2/23/08 Black Swan Network performance from the AUX experimental music festival in Athens.  This was actually the one-off “Flash Card Orchestra” performance we mentioned here.  Both performances are available in MP3 and lossless FLAC formats.

They didn’t play as BSN instead they played as “The Flash Card Orchestra.” Bill Doss conducted a group of 15-20 people including Andrew Rieger, Pete Erchick, BP Helium, Eric Harris, John Fernandes, Heather McIntosh, Davey Wrathgaber, David Specht, and a bunch of Dark Meat folks. Other people in the room at the time who might have been on stage include Derek Almstead, Scott Spillane, Dottie Alexander, and Jamey Huggins. Four people who were in the room but were definitely not on stage were Jeff Mangum, Jimmy Hughes, JoeJustJoe and myself.

The idea was Bill would show a flashcard to the band and they would act out whatever the flashcard said. There were different sections of the band, so they would start and stop at different times. For example, one of the flashcards said something along the lines of insects buzzing in the springtime and everyone would act that out for 30 seconds or so.

I know Sloan taped it and Heather is in possession of a video. Hopefully both those and some other artifacts will see the light of day.

Just a reminder that the AUX 2 experimental music festival is this weekend in Athens, featuring Black Swan Network, Lorkakar, Dixie Blood Moustache, Dark Meat, Howling Jelly (Andrew Rieger from Elf Power and Mark Tissenbaum), Eyes and Arms of Smoke (members of Von Hemmling, Ulysses, and Hair Police), and more. The event will be held on Saturday, February 23rd, across three venues: Cine, Little Kings, and Flicker.
