Causa Sui- Dæmonens Port, København 3/22/08
From Aural Innovations #39 (May 2008)
This was a really cool night. The Demon’s Port is a real underground
place. You have to be “in the know” for gigs here. Causa Sui thought
this would be a good place to try out their new experimental approach on a live
audience. It was a small crowd of about 40 or so on this Saturday night before
Easter Sunday. The band started quite late. At least 10:30 and included the
main Causa Sui line up of guitar, bass and drums plus Luz from Øresund
Space Collective and Bland Bladen on congas and percussion, a sax player and
Rasmus on synthesizers. The music is mostly improvised but some themes had been
worked out in advance. It was a like a really cool mix of Hendrix, early 70’s
Miles Davis, and Kraut Rock styles. It really worked. I should also say some
of the heavy stuff in the first set was really a lot like Hawkwind with a different
styled guitar player. I think they played about 90 mins the first set and 2hrs
the 2nd set. The band recorded it all on multitrack and one guy was video taping
bits and pieces but very inconsistently. Probably can’t use that for much
of anything.. Cool stuff. Can’t wait for the record..
