Blastitude

A friend recently loaned me two albums by Angus MacLise. I knew MacLise was the first drummer for the Velvet Underground but I didn't know he'd done his own music. "Brain Damage in Oklahoma City" and "The Invasion of the Thunderbolt Pagoda" are both fantstic tripped-out experimental sound collages. MacLise was all over the underground sixties art scene. He put on a multi-media show in NYC in 1965 called "Launching of the Dream Weapon". He played with Tony Conrad, LaMonte Young, and John Cale in the Theatre of Eternal Music. He was married by Timothy Leary. He traveled the world and died in 1979 in Kathmandu.
