DETROIT-born and built on love in 1996, sophisticated shoegazers Le Ren were formed when Nardo rocked the 4-track with tones that filled the sky with stars. Now based out of Austin, TX Le Ren is on a mission, although it can’t be explained... it may never be… One thing Le Ren can say is love, love, love...
Austin ambient experimentalist Douglas Ferguson can be described as such:
“Insert the inviolable disc, neophyte, and press play. Now close your eyes and visualize the one true Douglas Ferguson. Mark that he placidly maintains the full lotus, unwavering beneath the wild ragged locks of an ascetic, and sporting some very hip boots. He floats effortlessly atop the glassy surface of a deep singing flow of quicksilver drone wider than big muddy, churning and rolling just as darkly beneath. Notice no clouding of his brow as the flow quickens upon entering a narrow, twisting gorge. Now hear the ghosts of laughing melodies reverberating between rock faces over the raging river. No fear, your pulse will resume as Douglas pilots the mercury surge through a gently widening delta, spreading across the endless mirrored plane of a polished ocean, under the pale light of a rising moon.”

Douglas Ferguson
Vacuum tubes glowing hot to the max, layers of sound undulating forwards, back, down, up…. more reverb? That and more this Friday at the Scoot Inn as ST37, Followed By Static, Douglas Ferguson and Shawn David McMillen take “stage” for a free for all of experimental good times, psych and noise rock. Fresh off tour Doug Ferguson brings the landscapes he’s recently explored to soundscapes he’s never quit foraging. Followed By Static - the duo comprising of members of iKiLLCaRS and The Koreans - soak their punk and rock roots til they fall apart into drip drops of minimal play that swells into a sea of driving noise. ST37, Austin’s perennial psych band, dust off their saddles and ride the eve into oblivion. Or at least to last call.
10 – Shawn David McMillen
11 – Douglas Ferguson
12 – Followed By Static
1 – ST37
$5.00

I know it’s a little early to announce this: but this is obviously a great show in early October. I’m going to be gone for the rest of the month so I figured I’d remind everyone, including myself, ahead of time…
