Assembly of Dust!!
 

Just a word on this band from Vermont - Assembly of Dust...I grew up on Strangefolk and all the Wormtown Trading Co. festivals and I was skeptical about Reid's new project ever since I first heard of it. In fact, I was downright angry that he left our New England pride because of graduate school, all the complications with Jon's cancer, creative stagnation, etc. Bullshit! The Assembly of Dust is nasty! While their Bonnaroo set in 05' was absolutely rocking - [url]http://livebonnaroo.com/frameset.asp?downloads[/url] - I had yet to see them again till Langerado over spring break. They opened up with this new tune off their newest album Recollection, which by the way is comprised of nearly all sweet songs, called "Truck Farm." The rock tune really woke the weary eyed early risers and truly shocked the audience with not only their musicianship and prowess as a raw live act, but also with Reid's ability to continually break out seemingly new, yet always beautifully written tunes. I caught them next at Summer Camp, which saw AOD take over the stage during moe.'s headlining slot for a segue out of "St. Augustine" into the old Strangefolk tune "Westerly." I was speechless. Then two weeks ago I saw them at Mountain Jam, and although the setlist wasn't as rocking as the week before, it still solidified the fact that I am a new wholehearted Assembly of Dust fan. Reid's songs are comparable in their sincerity and passion to those of Crosby Stills and Nash's most beloved tunes, while the ability to discern the different instruments apart from each other is reminiscent of The Band. The point is with these guys is that they play with PATIENCE!!! A skill that most bands don't even dare try to implement into their shows. Sometimes taking two to three minutes between songs, the Assembly of Dust has the ability to fill the soundscape unlike Strangefolk did, though still maintaining the capacity to allow their jams to develop organically into gorgeous climaxes. Please check these boys out, they'll be playing at the L.L. Bean Summer Concert Series this Saturday in Maine and then down the road a bit at All Good. Check out "Whistleclock," "Truck Farm," "40 Reasons," and "Grand Design" off their new album Recollection and I promise you won’t be dissatisfied.

fav jam band is perpetual groove

Hey where did this thread come from? I approve anyhow.

I've been listening to a sh[COLOR="Black"]it[/COLOR]load of jam bands lately. Disco Biscuits, moe., Perpetual Groove,Leftover Salmonetc. I've been real big in the jam thing since I went to Langerado. I'm heading over to the All Good festival this year. Can't wait.

i too just hopped on this jam-wagon. i've been into phish for quite some time - my hippie-esque friend got me into them. And I picked up moe. - Warts and All 4 yesterday.

I quite like it, this is my first listen to them so yea.

:)


I feel the need to check the other bands out too.

You should deffintly look for festivals around you. You'll find one, and man oh man you should go.

I wanna go to every festival ever.

Anyone got any full Disco Biscuits albums they mind sending me? I'm tired of finding random downloads, I want a full album or show.

I've got all three studio albums and their Langerado 07 performance.

The choice is yours.

Wow! I'll take whichever album you think is the best...not the live one though.
My AIM is smc1ndy, my MSN is [email]sean@dispatch-online.com[/email], or you could upload it to megaupload, rapidshare, or mediafire. Whichever works best for you.
Thanks a lot.
And I'll send you an album in return if there's anything I have that you want...

Also, I saw Disco Biscuits and Umphrees McGee last night. Well, I missed Umphree's, but man, Bisco put on one helluva show. Amazing night.

Toss out a couple of recomendations of your favorite albums at the moment. I'm down for anything. Thanks.

Well if you like the Disco Biscuits I'll upload Sound Tribe Sector 9 - Artifact

No need, I already have it. But thanks alot though. You really don't need to up-anything though. If you have anything by Leftover Salmon or moe., lemme know. Always looking for more of those.

sorry man, I don't have anything by either of those.

It's no problem. I saw you posted about writing a Dispatch review, and I've been meaning to look into them. Any album would be fine.

Any Dispatch album?

Oh yeah, whats the status on that Dispatch ,Sean?

Thing is, I only have it in iPod [m4a] format, so do you have iTunes? If not, I can get it to mp3, but it will take longer.

Thats cool. Take as long as you need. I'm goin' out of town for about a week and a half, so take that long.

Just got back from Gratefulfest a few days ago... fantastic festival. Saw a bunch of really great bands and shows. Best festival atmosphere ever.

DSO's shows are on archive... fantastic

and here's a great youtube clip of Greyspoke rocking out "Mighty High" with Rob Barraco and Lisa Mackey of DSO

and this one's a song called nighttrail

More Archive links, great shows. If anyone else knows where to get some others (I would love to get my hands on the JGB, Tony Rice... oh hell, every show from the whole week)

All the shows from this year (2007 in case you've forgotten) are absolutely fantastic. DSO, Greyspoke, JGB.

It took me a while to find this thread again....dunno why.

But, All Good was nothing short of one of the best experiences of my life. I'd have to say Yonder Mountain String Band, Les Claypool, moe. and the moe. all-star late night jam were the definite highlights.

Amazing, and I recomend it.
