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, CA-based, 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. “It’s pretty serious,” says Silverman, about his one-man concert performance, equal parts music, technology, science, art and spectacle and suitable for audiences of all ages, as he uses his hands and feet to create an industrial tribal rhythm that must be seen and heard to be believed. “There’s a lot to take in. When people see me play, they just intuitively get it.”

He was sick when he came to Charlotte before...

[Micah Davidson]

This was sick last time.....and packed wall to wall.........

[Chris]

Good advise Micah... the place was packed to the gills. about as many people as I've ever seen there. I never did get to "see" him play they were packed at the front and side of the stage so tight I resolved myself to the back but had a blast listening to some of the strangest sounds my ears have digested.

Ahhhh really wish I was making this one!!

I just tried to go to the double door website at work and this is the message i get:

"Access to this URL is currently restricted due to a blocking rule.

URL: doubledoorinn.com/eventlist.aspx
Blocking rule: Block URLs of Adult

The URL you are attempting to access has been blocked. Organization policy does not allow access to this activity."

 

They must think it is a porn site or something.  Dammit I already can't check out bands on myspace b/c they block myspace, and now the Double Door too?!?!  The gods must want me to actually do my job or something.  Go figure.

I think its kinda funny that they block myspace but not facebook.  They block myspace b/c several years ago they hired a girl who only made it 3 months, partly b/c she was always on myspace when she was supposed to be working (plus she was dumb and had all sorts of pot references and pics on her page that of course mgmt checked out since she was always on it)!  But they don't block facebook.  Gee, I wonder if its because I've seen some of management checking out their facebook pages during the day.  Ya think?!?

Hypocrites. 

Oh well.  See everyone at the illicit Double Door Inn tonight!  Micah, we don't have tix yet, do you think we'll be ok?  I'm just now reading how packed it was last time and how I should have bought tickets in advance. 

[Micah Davidson]

To Maggie & ALL OTHERS......

There are still tickets left.......but I do suggest getting there as close to 8PM as you can to make sure you get in!!!!!!

I am sure this will be nothing shy of Stellar!!!!!   

I wonder if That 1 Guy is going to do a little jamming with Thunderdrums?

[Will Little]

Listen to Micah folks, last year people we're lining up out the door when we were still loading in.

(Duende Mtn Duo opened for T1G last March)

It was a great show!

We offered to have him collaborate with us, but he said he likes to "do his own thing" but maybe he's changed his mind....

Hate I won't be there tonight, last year was one of my fondest DD memories...

[gratefulgirl77]

The gods must want me to actually do my job or something.  Go figure.

Funny, Maggie!
Everybody have fun tonight...wish I could be there too.
I was fortunate enough to catch That 1 Guy along with Buckethead many moons ago before Ziggy's was killed.

[alex]

Counting down the hours.  See ya'll tonight!

[Chris]

I bet it was SICK last night... do tell all
