Peachcake on Daytrotter


Andddddd action! No, the scene's not over. Don't cut! Keep rolling.

One chance filmmaking. It's gorgeous. It's wonderful watching scenes from cinema that weren't cut and butchered to pieces by close, over-editing. Just letting your actors act, letting your characters move, and letting your scene play out is a beautiful thing to see if you enjoy that sort of subtlety. It's smooth, it's fluid, and it's natural. That's what makes it unique, and that's why you've got to love it.

There's also Peachcake, and I'm certainly not talking about the dessert. Unless you're the type of person to consider them some sort of musical dessert! These guys are fluidity defined. With their banging drum beat, electro-inspired musicianship, and wild, crazy antics on and off stage, these guys can do nothing but make everyone in their presence smiles and dance. Peachcake is like a living bottlerocket: tonnes of potential energy all contained in an extremely small package, and all they do is invite you to set them off so they can release themselves in energetic entertainment.

Well, there's a musical version of this fluid cinematography: deep in the heart of the state that feels the Illinoise, at Rock Island, is a humble little studio simply known as Futreappletree Studio 1. In their legendary art of recording wonderful instances of musical ecstasy, these folks use analogical recording to bring out the honesty, integrity, and love in its most raw form through speakers all throughout the world.

Well there are none better to express love than the residents of Planet Awesome!, wonderful friends of Voilà!, Peachcake. The essence of fluidity has now been recorded in a truly awesome, unique, fun loving, live performance on Daytrotter, recorded back in the heart of winter! Featuring six songs - most of which are off Peachcake's still delicious, new album, What Year Will You Have The World? - are performed with all their quirkiness and delightfulness (live, spontaneous, inspirational monologues included). Check out the feature article and the Peachcake's Daytrotter performance with the greatest haste, readers and lovers. Or stick around Voilà! a little longer, and read up on some Peachcake concerts and memories, and feature articles. Or, but of course, you could always wander straight over to Peachcake's Myspace, and party with them! Regardless, hopefully this is the perfect pick-me-up for another Monday, tomorrow. Have a grand week readers!
