Dawaun Parker (Aftermath Music Super-Producer) has lurked in the shadows of Dr. Dre since the grand debut of 50 Cent’s unprecedented main-stream Hip-Hop staple “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”. He has since gone on to produce & co-produce tracks for other Mega-Hip-Hip icon’s of today such as Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes & Eminem. He helped co-produce most of Eminem’s most recent come-back hit album ‘Relapse’ which helped lift Slim Shady from the depth’s of his hellish addiction to pain medication & the most unfortunate set-back of his close friend DeShaun “Proof” Holton’s untimely death. With epic monster beats from ‘Relapse’ such as “My Mom”, “Same Song & Dance” & “Stay Wide Awake” really showcase his dynamic skill as an intricate keyboard player. It’s my opinion & objective guess that ‘Relapse’ was a sort of Instrumental prelude to what one might expect from Dr. Dre’s forth coming LP “Detox”, w/ brooding other-worldly keyboard driven tracks like “Insane”, “Must Be The Ganja”, “Underground” & again “Stay Wide-Awake” very well could have been Dr. Dre solo tracks for ‘Detox’ possibly… So here we are almost two years later w/ Parker’s debut single ‘Lost’ a slightly funky yet very soulful track that has a familiar intoxicating club-like Dr. Dre vibe to it as well as a seeming crosser-over type of appeal from the hook that should get a lot of universal air play over the next few month’s. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if this track started churning up some buzz on other Music blogs that are not strictly Hip-Hop based or related like they are NOW. after all the almighty Dr. Dre dynamic has bless & graced the track himself!

so let’s hope this blows up for dude, maybe if this gets enough attention it might hurry DP to drop the rest of ‘The Decision’ E.P. perhaps earlier than a month deep in to the new year which is when we should expect ‘The Decision’ to drop.

Notes/Review By the Taper:

Opening Act:
This evening was promising, considering the venue (size/location) & the fact that the majority of the Band including Keenan: either currently are or were former Arizona residents at some point in time or another. some specifically from Tucson which was interesting to note. Neil Hamburger was the opening act, in particular I was really looking forward to seeing his set. Between the palpable anticipation for whatever was about to happen that night combined w/ the frustration of a purposefully bad & at times atrocious comedy that spat out from the stage on to the audience made for an interesting set of circumstances. Although very pertinent & sometimes witty, Neil Hamburger faced a pretty evenly well mixed crowd of participants & those rudely/eagerly awaiting Maynard James Keenan & Co. to grace the stage. Eventually Hamburgers 20-some odd minute set came to a close.

Stage Set-up/Venue:
I was perplexed as to how in the hell anyone on that stage was going to be able to freely move about, seriously the congestion of musical equipment/video gear was a sight to see. Even as I entered the venue I was taken aback by the amount of unloaded stage props & such that was still stacked-up outside! I personally had the privilege to be on the Rialto stage (not as a Performer but Stage-hand) for a friend’s band called Ensphere that had played there just a couple months before, so I had the unique perspective of knowing just how much space was actually available up there, these guys were cram-packed up on that stage! also this particular venue is extremely intimate, your vantage-point of the stage can be astonishingly captured virtually anywhere as you stand in this venue, never mind the solid acoustics that still manage to stunningly vibrate the emanating sounds from the very up-close & personal stage. The atmosphere was particularly vibrant this evening, I couldn’t have been more pleased w/ this location for a Puscifer show, I honestly can’t see them pulling off what they did that night any where else here in Tucson.

Taping:
I was extremely nervous from the very start until I got home! I had zero issues getting in successfully w/ my gear! during Neil’s set I stumbled & fumbled lots, I was scrambling to fix & maintain the perfect levels. I don’t own a pair of fancy mics so I had to improvise w/ the internal mics on the R-09 which left me & my recorder EXPOSED. the anti-taping enforcement was beyond me & ridiculously pursued! even for this specific venue, I was disturbed at just how insistent they were upon enforcing said rule! During Track 11 you can distinctly hear this girl who I happened to be using as a Human shield from the various anti-taping squads patrolling about, sees my recorder & asks me if I had been taping this whole evenings show, I of course said nothing, lol!

Puscifer’s Performance:
As w/ most if not all the show’s performed during this leg of Puscifer West-Coast tour no one really knew for sure what they were going to get!
with a variation of 3 to 4 different stage show’s I had no idea what exactly to expect. This show in particular was bad-ass!! minimal comedy routines/interruptions, not that I was vehemently opposed to any of them. Having the opportunity to witness this version of their varying stage-show that consisted more of a straight-forward musical approach was fantastic! Although Neil Hamburger had his say during two songs one of which he introduced Tim Alexander of Primus as a girl-scout to finish off the drums to ‘Momma Sed’ was hilarious. A lot get lost in translating what’s going on on-stage via this medium! but the music speaks for it self. Tucson got unruly when a crazed female fan bum-rushed the stage from a side entrance that should have been blocked off by security, not only the Rialtos Venue Event staff/security but Maynard’s as well were both absent, allowing this to happen. Once onstage of course she bee-lines for Maynard who’s far back on stage-left on a mini-stage platform shared w/ Miss Carina Round, more or less hidden behind an medium sized plasma screen T.V. Monitor is then embraced in the clutches of this bear-hugging lunatic fan-girl. This happened during ‘Sour Grapes btw! As I’m witnessing this as well as recollecting it now I still can’t believe someone manged to breech that kind of security, either someone from Rialto or Maynard’s crew seriously fucked up, possibly even both. It was so bad & had gone on long enough for Maynard to flawlessly sing 6 bars unfettered by the crazed fan. It wasn’t even security that eventually escorted her back-off stage it was the keenly aware band-members that just happened as it were to be sitting out on that particular song. I remember it was Mat Mitchell who actually pried the maniac off Maynard, then to top it all off: Immediate as Maynard & the rest of the crew were waving good-bye to the crowd at the end of their show another crazed ass-hole literally jumped up on stage and garbed one of the various yet empty open-bottles of wine right in front of Maynard & proceeded to guzzle the rest of it’s negligible contents, as Maynard sees this happen before him he tuns away shaking his head in PURE disgust!

I Hope You Enjoy This Recording!

Notes: This was an interesting night for the proverbial Ensphere experience. Despite Dillon’s absence, I was outstandingly impressed by Ensphere’s performance as I was with this evenings proceeding acts, things finally kicked off with 7:30pm’s frigidity cold air for the 1st Band of the night, Scarless. Straight out of the mean streets of Albuquerque, NM these guy’s & GALS will kick BOTH of your ear’s asses, they opened with a hip-hop sample that led into a scorching blaze of two guitars, bass, drums & screaming a thrashing mixture of Hardcore & modern Punk. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard that kind of music being pulled-off that well before. Then they continued with a setlist that deceived my expectations that I was left with after the last notes of their opening tune. Great Band with even Greater Musicians, their Female Guitarist was awe-inspiring I literally had to stop what I was doing to regard her/their performance 100%. Proceeding Bands Broken-End Stereo & AV were less impressive in my opinion, lets just say Broken-End had a pretentious & very very cliche lead singer type & we’ll leave it at that. AV was alright & had their moments or maybe they were just Ok? Nonetheless this entire evening was an experience well-worth the $10 it cost for tickets to get into & be apart of the NEWEST in exclusive UNDERGROUND Rock Show/Dance Parties for the Tucson, Arizona area. Stands With Fists was the last Band to go on before Ensphere & was the only other band I had any brimming anticipation for, watching them set-up their stage theatrics brought me back to recollections of one of Ensphere’s earliest performances. It was an Art festival out by Oracle, AZ known as the ‘Glow’ festival, Ensphere preformed there in ’04 maybe it was in ’05? I can’t recall exactly but nevertheless SWF wouldn’t have had the slightest bit of reference as to the elements that visually transpired at that festival. I guess that’s just the universes way of bring it’s synchronicity right where it belongs, together…  Tucson has always been renown for it’s UNDERGROUND artistic communities more or less the world over. Fine Art Gallery’s like Solar Culture & related establishments along with Troupes like ‘Flam Chen’ & events such as the World Famous ‘All Souls Procession’ for instance are the exact kinds of internally creative elements that make Tucson such a unique corner of the continental United States, unlike any other. It’s music scene however has had it’s History(s), things have come & gone. Today we have hope with Bands like Ensphere & Stands With Fists locally, the 2009 12.12 show has proven that without a shadow of a doubt. It is my opinion that Ensphere and now with these show’s/parties hosted by Ensphere’s sole creator Randall Swindell we’ll be privileged to witness & acknowledge the Loving & Creative forces that dwell within us all to come fully alive at these events. The very 1st one was hosted on August 1st of 2009, which was a success & yielded the Band a healthy profit for the nominal fee’s. Instead of relying on the same old tactic’s of a shoty, useless “concert promoter”, indubitably Ensphere has succeeded in surviving without that precedent. These guy’s have always had a do-it-yourself mentality, their dedication & investment in doing what they Love and what they want to do for a living has more than just worked-out for them, it’s become an efficient tool to engage, entertain & captivate people not only Musically but Theatrically as well. With all the tribulation that has struck upon the Ensphere force field, considering the reasons behind the delay’s of their Video EP was due to a fall-out with the Audio/Video “company” (I use that term VERY loosely) combined with the recent helpless departure of Dillon McCallum (a Brother & Backbone of Ensphere) it was looking very grim & gloomy at the moment. Yet once again they persevered & proved most if not ALL their crew, confidants & closest followers wrong in thinking they couldn’t pull off another successful let alone an even BIGGER shindig that had proceeded two-months previously. I’m glad everything has turned out the way it did and I really hope anyone reading this or listening to this recording knows & recognizes how much hard work went to it’s creation (not the recording itself, but it’s contents).

I personally would like to thank you, the Band & the Fans!!

Taperaten.

Notes: This was the 1st night of the Ensphere weekend extravaganza! What a perfect place for them to do it. This is one of the only other popular Tucson area venues these guy’s have NOT played at yet. Plush is also known as one of Tucson’s 4th Avenue posh “hot spots”. A bar/venue it’s been compared to Los Angeles’s  ‘Viper Room’ by Ensphere Front Man Randall Swindell. Some may argue that Club Congress across the street from the Historic Rialto Theatre on Congress St. (go figure) would be considered Tucson & maybe even all of Arizona’s own ‘Viper Room’. But their “stage” if you could even call it that & their venue area is a lot less like an actual venue & feels way more like a bar/lounge (after all it is a Hotel). Whereas Plush has a more friendly Live Music atmosphere much like the Viper Room. This was Ensphere’s first public performance w/o one of their biggest & greatest contributors, Dillon McCallum. Guitarist & multi-media man Dillon had left Ensphere three weeks previous to the announcement of this date. Due to his departure & seeming hiatus the rest of the group had to scramble to to re-learn & re-work some of their most noted songs. Introducing a close associate is ‘Mars’ who assumed bass duties on ‘Hyleg’ & ‘Premonition’. I couldn’t be more satisfied considering the challenges faced. Although Ensphere has always maintained a sort of revolving door of Instrument exchanges within it’s members, having Dillon absent really makes things a challenge w/o him… =(

Live 2009 12.02 @ the Rialto Theatre In Tucson, AZ

This was a stunning performance by MJ Keenan & the rest of his Puscifer crew. I was absolutely floored by this particular song & the way they performed it.

this version of Undertaker hasn’t ever been released publicly before, Maynard Screams like a motherfucker on this cut!! in fact MOST if NOT ALL of the Puscifer show here in Tucson isn’t publically avaible, especially in this quality. it certainly isn’t the best, but I have yet to see anything to surface that would be comparble. also it is my opinion that this performance from Puscifer this night in particular is hands down BETTER than ANYTHING T00L has done in recent years. a fuller & more complete review will come when I release the FULL version of ‘Puscifer – Special Hot Sauce [Alive At the Rialto Theatre In Tucson, AZ]‘…

Enjoy This Poon-Tangy dish of ‘Undertaker’!
