LouieB Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Lots of Califone fans here, but if you have never seen them, what they do is pretty incredible. The two Hideout shows were some of the best things I have seen ever. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

owl Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 For anyone interested- There is a documentary coming out on DVD called "Rank." It is about, of all things, bullriding. Tim Rutili of Califone and a couple of others (Wil Hendricks and Michael Krassner) did the soundtrack as The Unseen Hand. It's a really cool documentary and your should check it out if you get the chance. Here is a review on PopMatters: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/film/reviews/32639/rank-2006/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Great interview with Tim Rutili by VC'ers M_Thomp and Welsh Rich. It's a very enlightening article, guys. twistedear.com Interview - Califone Written by Richard Ellis & Mark Thompson Califone's Tim Rutili answers questions from the Twisted Ear think tank Califone chief songwriter Tim Rutili is what you'd consider an alternative renaissance man: having administered some killer art-rock meets the Stones death moves with Red Red Meat, he now finds himself embracing earthier matters with the sample friendly, Genesis P. Orridge loving blues of Califone. Just as adept in other fields, Rutili has turned his hand to directing music videos, helping steer Perishable Records for a time as well as enduring countless other anything-to-fund-the-band day jobs. He's abandoned the hardy Windy City of Chicago in favour of the sunshine and schmooze of L.A. And he was also responsible for delivering 2006's Roots & Crowns, a rhythmically fluid and dynamic album that revived a long-forgotten American musical spirit of adventure. On the eve of Califone's UK tour, Twisted Ear's Richard Ellis and Mark Thompson managed to ask Rutili about both the past and present. Here's the lowdown: What are your memories of the early Red Red Meat days? I get the impression that the back of the van was the closest thing you could get to calling home?

m_thomp Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Great interview with Tim Rutili by VC'ers M_Thomp and Welsh Rich. It's a very enlightening article, guys. twistedear.com I'm sure Welsh Rich won't mind me pointing out that it was actually another VC'er, and another Richard, joss ackland's spunky backpack (or the Artist Formerly Known As Big Bank Hank) and who was the mainman behind that. Thanks for the comments though. Keep them peeled for a Vetiver interview soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the comments though. Keep them peeled for a Vetiver interview soon. I definately was not the mainman behind it. I thought you were, or at the very least it was equal. I need to get a simpler screen name on here, clearly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 I definately was not the mainman behind it. I thought you were, or at the very least it was equal. I need to get a simpler screen name on here, clearly. Oops! My bad. Sorry about that. But Hank/Joss/Richard, you're right -- I can't keep up with the name changes around here and I apologize for "assuming" you, Richard, were the other Richard. I've probably been confused all along. Well, sadly it's a common thing for me these days! At any rate, back to CALIFONE! Tell me/us more about this Califone encounter! If you two collaborated on this article, did the interview occur prior to a show? And if so, what was your opinion of Califone live? And why am I left with a bit of uncertainty as to what's next for the band? I wish for them it was crystal clear and full force forward, but I know the creative arts/real life do not always work that way. I just think they're so brilliant. PS to Owl - I totally want to see "Rank" - the rodeo documentary, and hear it as well, of course. Do you know when will it be released? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I was just about to point out that it wasn't me, but you guys have already sorted it out For extra confusion, me and Muller (another Rich) have also started a music related site! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 ^and a great site that is! but, really, do we have enough rich's from the uk 'round here?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish for them it was crystal clear and full force forward, but I know the creative arts/real life do not always work that way. I just think they're so brilliant. No apology necessary. There are definately far to many Rich's from the UK around here. It was only an email interview. But, my brother saw the band play in Bristol (it's in the South West of England) about a month before and only about 40 people were there. He said he didn't think they were anywhere near as good as they are on their recorded material, and I was rather surprised by this myself - having never seen them live I cannot comment, but he is normally very honest about this sort of thing. So I can only assume that the poor turn out in the audience must have put a downer on things, especially as everyone here says how great they are live. I think the fact that Tim likes Even Dwarfs Started Small is enough for me to know that the band's next step will be a good one. You can't enjoy a film where this sort of thing happens, and not make interesting music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
