FAUST, MIDDAY VEIL, VON BINGEN

FAUST

The Waldorf - October 17, 2012

It is quite a coup to have The Waldorf bring Faust all the way from Germany to East Vancouver! Recently after their 40th anniversary, the reunited splinter group with two original members, Jean-Hervé Péron and Werner ‘Zappi’ Dermaier are met with open arms on this night. A large crowd was gathered as the sound of locals Von Bingen emanated from the room. The treated guitar and sax duo played a lovely swirling drone piece to start the proceedings.

Midday Veil, a six-piece collective from Seattle, arrive next; their bombastic psych is and a joy to behold. Emily Pothast provides excellent voice with these otherworldly rock jams which you can’t really put a finger on, drawing from sources old and new it is true future music; check them out.
