Re: Fw: Tuesday Nights Shaman’s Den

not art if it was not scripted? think: ‘spontaneous’ (as so many WORLD KNOWN and greaet artists have been) think: ‘improvisation’ think “mime’ think how many actors ‘went off their movie script and…..get ready for this word now……IMPROVISED. Just “LET IT ALL HANG OUT.” from the millions of mini scripts percolating in the incredible cells of the brains.just waiting to be heard. I’m going to write a piece on IT’S NOT ART IF IT’S NOTSCRIPTED as a nouveau curious attempt to say that the first great blind poet Homer of ancient Greece was a hoax? because he was not scripted.

Subject: Tuesday Nights Shaman’s Den

Last night’s guests on the Shaman’s Den were Alyssa Lee and Guillermo Galindo the produces, curators and directors of the Pow Pow mini performance Art Festival next month in San Francisco. At first it was hard to tell what the hell was going on! The guests were all covered up in costumes. The guy was in American flag pants and a T-shirt that said “security” on it. He had a ski mask on so that all you could see was his eyes. The woman had a scarf around her head so that only her face showed and Frank was saying, “Hey asshole and the woman was saying that Frank was an asshole and a lair, that he had lied to them.” At first I could not tell if it was a performance or if they were for real or how long this show would last! They said that they were conservative terrorists and that were against art. They kept calling their boss on their cell phone and writing things on pieces of paper and putting them in front of the camera. They wrote things about art on the pieces of paper and also kept writing “Pow Pow” on the pieces of paper. Then they would rip up the pieces of paper and throw them around the room.

Frank asked questions to take things deeper like what exactly was it that he had he done that they were against. He had already been investigated by Jessie Helms for being obscene. The woman said that she had just had sex with Jessie Helms at the airport last night. “He’s dead,” Frank said. The woman said that it did not matter. At some point the woman started to crack and started to question why she was a conservative terrorist and why was she following something that she did not actually believe in. She moved closer to Frank saying that she was an artist and doing art was a good thing but that she felt really lost without the guy “security guard” since he was protecting them all. Frank told her to just look into his eyes!! She did and she felt calmer. Meanwhile the security guard was making all kinds of faces and strange movements and the woman said that he was acting like a freak and Frank said not to judge him and that he would come and join them soon. The woman asked if she could live with Frank and Linda did they have room for her and they said yes. Eventually the guy who had melted down from a conservative terrorist to a freaky guy melted and joined them.

Frank and Linda talked about the woman who was a performance artist who had been at the Reality Playings performance last Saturday. She was a performance artist and she was unwilling and pissed about jumping in and using anyone who was there to do something spontaneous. She wanted to know what Frank’s plan was for the performance. When he said that he did not know that he did not have a plan. She could not understand how something could be art if it was not scripted and did not have a frame. Alyssa said that they had come up with the term Action Art.

Alyssa wanted to know about Frank, Linda and Mikke’s relationship and why they did not believe in marriage. Frank said they did not believe in marriage because marriage is based in, has its roots in ownership. She said that their relationship felt really good. She said that Frank is a Shaman! Frank ask Guillermo to talk about the Reality Playings performance that he had come to in September. He said that it was shamanic, that it was small and went right to the core. Guillermo talked about the group of people who had been at the performance and Frank talked about how they had fed each other in a restaurant before the performance. The leaders of the group that had come to the performance had asked Frank what would be a good thing they could do before the performance to get people ready. A few of them had fed each other but most people said that it was too intimate. Allysa wanted to know more about how Frank has always had someone feed him.

Frank asked them if they would be plants during his performance at the Pow Pow festival and they were excited about it. Frank asked Alyssa if she would explore his body at the Pow Pow performance and she said that she would and then Frank wanted to know if he could explore her body during the performance. She wanted to know if Frank could get turned on. Frank said that she could explore that during the performance and find out. Then she wanted to know if Frank could get an erection and he said yes but that he could be lying so she would find out during the performance. Everyone would be counting on her to find out during the performance!

Alyssa talked about a couple of the performances that she had done with duct tape and another one wrapping a garden in SF with saran wrap and Frank talked about doing that in the 70’s wrapping people in saran wrap, toilet paper and tin foil and then reading his poem Wrapping and Rocking. Alyssa read Frank’s poem Wrapping and Rocking and then Alyssa and Guillermo talked about their relationship and that they could not remember when they had met. They felt they had been friends from childhood or another life. Frank said that they were a tribal body and they said yes! They said to order tickets now for the Pow Pow festival since the space only holds 50 people and advanced tickets are on sale. So come to the Pow Pow festival to see Alyssa explore Frank’s body and see if Frank gets turned on!!

From last night’s show with Seth from Dufus

ah yes! Below is how we ended last night’s show which was one of the best Shaman’s Dens ever! N.Y.C. based Dufus [which is Seth] has been one of my personal favorites for years. He has been on the show years ago and was in my band in my last N.Y.C. performance. But last night was deep magic! I even backed him up on the piano on a few Songs [which is a first for me because, while I jam a lot, I never have tried to fit my piano into actual Songs!]. Moreover the interview was deep fun! But this last song [which i sprung on him as a request] took the night to a liquid dimension! Enjoy!

And today I see that Dufus’s latest cd made it on Captain Fred’s top cds list for the month!

“Wee Ma Moo”

Shaman’s Den

(Erika wrote:)

Last nights Shaman’s Den with Dufus/Seth-Herbert Faergolzia was amazing!! I loved it!!! Dufus’s passionate words, sounds, and guitar playing and farting horn sounds were delightful and tenderly deep! The duets with Frank on piano and vocals were amazing adding deep layers and waves to a fun magical expanding journey of tones and licks about life. The interview was great leaning about Dufus’s rock opera created by a tribal body and his 2 year old daughter powerfully exploring sound and piano as well as hearing about how he/Dufus tours and the making of their videos. I Enjoyed Frank and Linda telling Dufus about how they met, the story of the Blue House, the Outrageous Beauty Review and living fun passionate lives without debt. It was a great late night Shaman’s Den!

thanx frank…we’ll probably just have copies of it to distro and give away at shows…perhaps for donations…might have to cut it down a bit too so it can fit an audio CD…so perhaps we’ll just put in only the set we played together and cut out the part we played without you…i was thinking of having mikey do a cover for it…

will you be down for it mikey? it would be great if you could…i really dig your style…let me know if you are up for it…
we wanna incorporate more of other peoples art in our stuff just so it can be xposed to different people and circles…

we are also of thinking of doing more visual stuff with our music perhaps incorporating the different media and technology in what we do…also, i would be interested to do a LUVER show..lemme know how it workz?

anyways, what was the story about vale? im all for stories…

* * * * *

mikee would love to do the cover!

Now for the V. Vale story. Back in the Mabuhay days, it was obvious that I made him and his girlfriend extremely nervous. But over the years people have had a hard time believing me because after all he documented the fringes, etc. But a few months ago [when I was googling FRANK MOORE] I found this long essay at http://www.researchpubs.com/features/whatispunk.php.

What is Punk Rock and How Did It Begin?
an essay by V. Vale

Back in the Seventies in San Francisco, life was a lot simpler. The Punk Rock “Garden of Eden,” where Punk was born in San Francisco, was the Mabuhay Gardens on Broadway, the only venue in town that would dare host Punk Rock. Why? Because the policy of Dirk Dirksen, who booked the “Fab Mab,” was to give anyone at least one chance, without a preconceived, restrictive aesthetic. The Mab was open seven days a week, with three to five “acts” a night, so this was a lot of time slots to fill (this was before the rise of the DJ). Thus was created a nearly “anything goes” opportunity for anyone who came up with a live act. No other local club had this booking policy and this is the reason San Francisco Punk started at the Mabuhay.

One of the most unusual acts that played regularly through the first years of San Francisco Punk was Frank Moore’s Theatre (they have not gone down in Punk history). It was whispered that Frank, along with his wife Linda (who struck me as a kind of Manson girl), headed a commune in Berkeley, and that everyone slept together in one huge bed. Their act seemed a bit “creepy.” Frank, confined to a wheelchair, had the wizened, twisted little body of a geek or spastic, with flecks of drool on his clothing. He wore a headband with an antenna on his head that enabled him to communicate–usually in arhythmic shrieks and yelps that were near-impossible to decipher. But Linda seemed to understand him perfectly; she was his “medium.” Frank Moore’s group, which looked like Manson girl runaways and social misfits, enacted bizarre performances incorporating rants, music and dance that were definitely elementary enough to be “Punk Rock,” even though most Punk Rockers had difficulty processing the act and were puzzled … yet too baffled to show outright disparagement. Looking back, Frank Moore’s show truly realized the Punk credo of “Do It Yourself/Anyone Can Do It.” Because if Frank Moore could do it, truly anyone COULD do it. He took the “Do It Yourself/Anyone Can Do It” punk proclamation seemingly about as far as it could go.

Photos from The Simple Things on The Shaman’s Den – April 5, 2009

Here are some pictures from the night we performed for the folks at Luver.com. It was such a unique and amazing experience that we will never forget!

Frank’s words to introduce the show made my hair stand up – quite poetic and thoughtful.
“One of my favorite words is liminal, which is the state in between two states, combining the two states like dawn or twilight. When you just wake up from a dream. This band focuses on the space in between the notes which is silent, but they are not wimpy new agers. They are just The Simple Things.”

The Simple Things on the Shaman’s Den – April 5, 2009

We had an amazing and unique experience performing and recording a private show for the folks at Luver.com. Frank Moore (known for running for President and for his radical performance art and music) is a witty interviewer, who has a great bite to his questions that just makes you giggle. I loved the experience – and performing in his super colorful Bezerkeley home for him, Linda and Mikee was just one of those nights you can’t forget. They are each very creative and kind-hearted, and put a lot of time and effort into interviewing, filming and broadcasting band shows.

Here’s our podcast of the show, and the interview that followed.
