Special Guest JEFF CHENAULT on The Sound Of Plaid
Friday, 28 June 2013 07:30
This week's special guest on The Sound Of Plaid is Jeff Chenault, longtime creator, collaborator, and promoter of music ranging from exotica to experimental to erectronica.
"Erectronica?" Yes, years ago Greg Fernandez and I collaborated with Jeff as The Weird Love Makers, a combination of electronica, exotica, and erotica (hence, erectronica) that performed live for the better part of a decade. Jeff has also collaborated with many others including James Towning (Fact 22) and Andy Izold (10-Speed Guillotine), not to mention running his own cassette label Exoteque in the 80's and, more recently, releasing albums of rare exotica music on Dionysus Records.

ECC relocates east - final SF show Saturday!
Tuesday, 26 April 2011 07:55
In 2004, The ECC moved headquarters from the bustling metropolis of Columbus, Ohio to the slightly more bustling mega-metropolis of San Francisco, California. It's been a good run, but for such an arts-friendly city, San Francisco is pretty artist-unfriendly. So until the prices fall out of orbit, The ECC is relocating to where things are (comparatively) half-price: back to Columbus, Ohio.
For one last Bay Area hurrah, join The ECC for our farewell show at Il Pirata this weekend for LoveTech.
"LoveTech is a community supporting the pioneers of live electronic musicianship. We combine musical innovation and inspired celebration to produce an immersive & heartfelt multi-sensory experience. Our engaging playshops, interactive art, and hands-on Digital Jam Lounge help create an optimal environment for education and collaboration. Discover the future of music technology & live performance! LoveTech will blow your mind, shake your ass, and inspire your creative soul."
Definitely DIY, and definitely the right venue for a send-off. So join us along with Janaka Selekta, Seventh Swami, Goyopod, and Raja The Resident Alien for one last ECC mashdown before we hit the road. And by the way, our road tour will have us hitting some interesting roadside attractions... watch for photos and stories posted on our ECC website, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and elsewhere. We'll also continue our Sound Of Plaid radio shows while on the road as well.
Bye bye, San Francisco! We'll be back... we've played MANY shows before moving to SF, and we'll play many more after we've left.

Make your listener requests for The Sound Of Plaid!
Tuesday, 11 June 2013 17:24
Our Listener Request episodes of The Sound Of Plaid are favorites for us, and we think for listeners as well. Each time we invite listeners to make requests for vague concepts only... no specific songs... that's our job, to choose songs we think match the concepts. In later episodes we invited listeners to help, by suggesting songs that match other people's requests... wisdom of the crowd, y'know?
But, coordinating all this before each episode has been a lot of work for us and the call for requests have been limited to Facebook users who happen to see them at just the right time... not ideal. Now we're trying something new.
Use the form below and submit your request. Below it is a list of requests others have made. See a request you have a match for? Click the link to enter it in our spreadsheet.
(OOPS: Left out a place for people to leave their names... corrected now. You can also add your name to a previous request or match!)
| It's too late for your request -- we've already aired this show, but you can listen to the episode at the archive. |
FRIDAY: ECC at Radio Valencia Dinner Theatre
Thursday, 07 April 2011 12:35
Radio Valencia has been on the air for a year now, carrying our Sound Of Plaid show as well as 43 others. With the unexpected closure of KUSF, Radio Valencia is one of the few remaining sources of independent and adventurous music to be heard on the San Francisco FM dial.
They've got a great thing going and want to make it even better, with a sorely needed new mixing board and some better equipment all around. Enter Chicken John, a "born showman" (his words) and a person with a scheme for every situation. His idea: a Radio Dinner Theatre with 5 courses and 5 radio performances. The food will be good, the performances will be even better, and your $40 will benefit a radio station that deserves that and more!
ECC will participate with a tribute to Dr. Demento who just celebrated his 70th birthday earlier this week, but whose radio show left the radio waves after 35 years only this January. Space and food is VERY limited, so buy your tickets in advance!
