Biografie van de kunstenaar To Live And Shave In L.A.
To Live And Shave In L.A. Aka TLASILA Rip Through Sonic Boundaries And Demolish Cultural Mythologies With A Kinetic Mélange Of Violent Constantly Shifting Musique Concrète Structures Splintered Electronics And Stark Dramatic Vocalizations. Their Powerfully Evocative Compositions Can Take The Form Of Forty-Minute Kuiper Belt Freak-Outs Or Dense Demonic Two-Minute Pipe Bomb Pop. Their Avowed Enemy Is Genre Itself Their Ultimate Goal Unknowing. Hyper-Literate Texts Ungovernable Performances And A Ruthlessly Meticulous Production Regimen Yield Recordings Without Referent Sounds That Garrote Taxonomy. TLASILA Was Formed In Miami Beach Florida In 1991 By Tom Smith An Alumnus Of Late 1970s-Early 1980s Dada-Improv Outsider Cabals Boat Of And Peach Of Immortality And The Earliest 1985 Incarnation Of Jon Spencer's Legendary Pussy Galore. He Was Soon Joined In TL&S By Frank "Rat Bastard" Falestra A Veteran Of Many Aesthetically Disruptive South Florida Projects Most Infamously Scraping Teeth And Since The Mid-1990s The Laundry Room Squelchers And Ben Wolcott A Filmmaker And Lifelong Circuit Bender Whose Mammoth Screeching Oscillators Sent Early Shave Audiences Running For Cover. Now A Full-Fledged Collective Comprising Nearly 20 Members To Live And Shave In L.A. Have Released Dozens Of Albums On A Variety Of International Labels And Have Toured The World With Jagged Frequency For More Than Seventeen Years.
