Imagine the brainchild of Dr. Seuss, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Stanley Kubrick and Rube Goldberg, and you begin to understand the spectacle of a That 1 Guy performance by Berkeley, California-based and classically trained musician Mike Silverman. As inventor and player of The Magic Pipe, That 1 Guy’s show has to be seen to be believed, as he single-handedly (and foot-edly) plays his amazing instrument, made out of miked steel pipes with a single, thick bass string wired from top to bottom, not to mention an Appalachian handsaw, an electric cowboy boot and belching smoke.
Combining elements of classical music with electronica, Silverman puts his classical training to good use creating music that is ethereal, gothic and heart-pounding. His one-man concert performance is equal parts music, technology, science, art and spectacle, as he uses his hands and feet to create an industrial tribal rhythm that must be seen and heard to be believed. His album, The Moon is Disgusting, is available on iTunes.
The new year brings another Grateful Dead tribute with Dead Night at the Filler on Saturday, January 5th at 8pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $3 or $5 for two at the door. Doors at 7pm.
“The temperature keeps risin’ – everybody gettin’ high –
Come the rockin’ stroke of midnite, the whole place gonna fly!”
The sonic salute to the Grateful Dead will feature the talents of local musicians Joe Knapp, Joe Kirchner, Luke Flansburg, Kelly Nicholson, Rich Robiscoe, Brett Goodell and more.
