Woven Hand sounds old and wise, but uses the latest technology to achieve this goal: samplers, delays and reverbs make sure you hear more than just a drummer and a guitarist. He managed to keep me entangled in his web of fire and brimstone for two hours. Does anybody know what language he's speaking when he's chanting on this drone? I suspect it's something biblical, like Aramese.
A friend of mine was a bit upset by a tattoo on his left arm, displaying a David's Star with a cross in the middle. According to him, it could mean that he believes that the Jews have nailed Jesus to the cross. Personally I couldn't care less if he had fascist signs on his arm. I'm only interested in his music. Naturally, I made no friends with that remark.
Things I learned: use a sample loop with some drone sound to fill the gaps when you're tuning. When the audience started to chatter away, he simply upped the volume. What I see more and more, is artists singing off-mic. This way you look like a nitwit who's completely lost in his music, and you create a lot of dynamics. From loud (in the mic) to almost inaudible (away from the mic). The Evens do this as well, and some other acts I've seen.
Of course I shot a lot of pics. The best can be found here.
