Akron/Family - Philadelphia 2011

This is Akron/Family in concert on March 4th, 2011 at the Blockley Pourhouse in Philadelphia, PA, USA. This is a superb audience based recording that made us feel almost as if we were present at the gig ourselves. Opening Acts were The Love Club and Delicate Steve. The song Another Sky (track 6) outro includes groove in the audience & a Delicate Steve member on percussion. Gravelly Mountains Of The Moon (track 7) starts in the middle, enough detail just enjoy this fine band.

For those unfamiliar with them Akron/Family is a folk-influenced experimental rock band that formed in 2002, and its members currently live in Portland, Oregon and New York City, New York.

Though each member of the band?Dana Janssen, Seth Olinsky, and Miles Seaton?can be relegated to loosely defined roles (drummer, vocalist/guitarist, and bassist, respectively), all members play several instruments and sing, as evidenced by their shows and recorded material: Live, the band uses improvisation and three-part harmonies in prominence. On their self-titled debut record, field recordings of a creaking chair, thunderclaps and the white noise of a television find their way alongside psychedelic and electronic elements, guitars and a glockenspiel.

Between 2003 and 2007 the band was the hub of a social scene in Williamsburg, Brooklyn which revolved around the 'Gimmie Coffee' coffee shop. Many of the events of this period served as material for songs. Reviewing the bands current album Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT back in February this year Pitchfork commented 'eclecticism ends up being one of its greatest assets.  Organic and jubilant, it successfully weaves psych, world, rock, and folk traditions into something new and endlessly compelling'.
