Minotaur Shock Live

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:09:56 -0800

Minotaur Shock/Principal Participant will be performing live in studio this Thursday @ 12pm!!! David Edwards has been making divinely eccentric electronica since the turn of the millennium. He has toured with Yo La Tengo, released on the same label as Pixies, TV On the Radio and Stereolab and remixed the likes of Andy Votel, Super Furry Animals, Bloc Party and Justine Electra. Returning to tour the most recent long-player under his Minotaur Shock alias, Amateur Dramatics, David applies the solo production ethic that defines his recorded output, to his live performance technique, using a plethora of electronics to trigger and manipulate his tracks as well as improvise and compose live, all from the safety of his appended drum kit. Intensely catchy and regimented enough to hold a dancefloor, subtle and responsive enough to David’s multifaceted command to remain intricate and moving, the performance never lacks in the well-honed sense of playfulness that hallmarks the Minotaur Shock sound. http://www.minotaurshock.com http://www.myspace.com/minotaurshock http://www.myspace.com/principalparticipant Amateur Dramatics Amateur Dramatics, the third full-length album from Minotaur Shock, is released on 4AD Records. Off-kilter melodies of live violins, cellos and clarinets, as beautiful as they are melancholy, meet alluring electro grooves borrowed from the influences of Principal Participant, David’s more conventional, 4x4-rooted alter ego. Described as “Hot Chip meets Arvo Pårt” (Big Cheese) this most recent LP represents the evolution of the Minotaur Shock project, bearing all the marks of David’s 21st century musical buccaneering without the loss of the idiosyncratic textures that defined his work in the now-defunct ‘folktronica’ era.
