What a coincidence. Last week, we read that Aepril Schaile lent her talents to the Labseven record, this week we get word of her upcoming CD-release party. She and the Judgement (yep, her backing band spell it with the “e” in the middle) will drop Furies’ Prayer, self-described as “gothic-classical-spiritual-doom-death-folk,” with a show at Geno’s December 2. We here on the “Sibilance” staff are generally pretty cheery folk, but we’re down with the gloom-and-doom stuff as long as Aepril’s fronting the outfit. She’s pretty hot, really. For a chick who wears black all the time and says she’s come back from the dead and whatnot. The Horror and Boston’s Dreamchild lend support on the show. Travel for the Boston (well, Somerville) CD-release gig at Skybar, with Seven Sunless Days, December 7.
We told you a couple issues back about the December 6 show at Acoustic Coffee by way of introducing Chris Teret. Now we find it’s a good chance to say goodbye to Chriss Sutherland, long-time member of Cerberus Shoal and the more recently created THREADS, the latter of which plays along with Teret, dilly dilly, and Micah Blue Smaldone. Sutherland reports that he’s heading to Spain for six months following the show. He says Cerberus is “very much asleep,” but to expect a regrouping at some point, and that THREADS is 95 percent done with a deal for a label to put out their debut album. Unfortunately, it looks like THREADS may in some ways be no longer — there’s another band by that name and they might have dibs.
If you ask real nicely, you might be able to pick up a copy of Dirt Coalition’s debut full-length November 30 at SPACE, before they head out on the road with Robust (of galapagos4) for an extended tour. The gig was supposed to be a release show for Dirt in the Hour Glass, but you know how things go with duplicators. The nine-piece hip-hop outfit promise a proper release show some time after they get back from the road, and they’ve duped up a few copies to sell at shows.
