Today I wrote Deep Listening by pointing out three of my favorite 2019 releases: I Was Real by 75 Dollar Bill, I Control The Weather by Dire Wolves, and Mandatory Reality by Joshua Abrams And Natural Information. To accompany that release and to help you understand if you’re not familiar with those artists, here is a live video from each artist.

First, here’s 75 Dollar Bill with an expanded lineup at Roulette, Brooklyn 7/1/2019 performing the title track to their newest album I Was Real. Believe it or not, this lineup features Joshua Abrams!

Linuep from left to right:

• Karen Waltuch - amplified viola

• Talice Lee - amplified violin

• Sue Garner - electric bass guitar

• Che Chen: electric 12-string guitar

• Rick Brown - plywood crate, percussion

• Joshua Abrams - double bass

• Lisa Alvarado - harmonium

Next up, we feature a 2018 live set from Dire Wolves (Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band) at the 17th Annual Outsound New Music Summit (7-27-18). This video documents three live pieces, and this particular lineup features:

• Sheila Bosco - drum kit

• Brian Lucas - bass

• Jeffrey Alexander - guitarmagoria + moog + wooden sax

• Arjun Mendiratta - violin

And rounding out the set, we feature a live performance by Joshua Abrams And Natural Information Society. Believe it or not, the shortest video today features the artist who usually features the longest pieces. Here is Joshua Abrams And Natural Information Society, at “ICA Philadelphia.” No other details were provided about this performance.
