joo enpä ole käynyt fb:ssä hetkeen, pitää käydä tykkäämässä. tosiaan joku juttu tästä koko projektista tulevaan mutinyyn olis ihan mahtava, ja lopuksi voit arvostella levyt. siellä on tainnut olla ehkä vain yksi caroliner-arvostelu jos oikein muistan, ja sekin luvattoman lyhyt.

juuh elikkäs ostin tuossa taannoin discogsista kokoelmatuplan nimeltä insight compilation: to sell kerosene door to door. siellä on aina kaksi biisiä peräkkäin kultakin artistilta, aika sellaista "mutiny!-musaa", on world of pooh jne. ja olikohan jotain thinking fellers -sivuprojekteja (olikohan tosta ikinä arvostelua mutiny!ssä?). mainio levy ja carolinerin takia toki ostin, he ovat tuolla nimellä caroliner rainbow throw up fantasy ja biisit ovat ensi albumiltakin tuttu one proud water tower wearing lipstick (taitaa olla hieman eri versio) ja ilmeisesti bändin ainoa cover-veto bow tie buddy, joka onkin sitten ihan sairaan kova. helposti sen about 30 euron arvoinen, jonka levy posteineen kustansi. toki mulla oli se jo vanhoilta cdr-treidaus-ajoilta, mutta kuulostaa vinyyliltä entistä paremmalta.
vähän vielä offtopikkia, carolinerin perään soiva archipelago brewing company kuulostaa myös tajuttoman hyvältä, en ihmettelisi jos vaikka rc-lungen diggailis, ja mullahan taitaa olla näiltä joku levykin, pitääkin kaivaa esille.

Caroliner Rainbow Interview Brazil Part 1
Hello, Dame Darcy!
I'm a freelance music writer from Brazil and have been listening to Caroliner for a few years. I've recently landed a spot at a web portal that gave me pretty much free reign in order to write anything related to music and entertainment. As such, I figured I could attempt to use the space (and an unsuspecting reading audience) to write a few words about the 1800s band and just how astounding it is.
Then it occurred me to contact people I've known to be a part of the group at some point of its history to get some testimonials. Nothing too "telling", of course - I know and respect the group's tradition of using pseudonyms and preserving the anonymous and fantastic allure around it.
Would you be interested in talking about the subject? If so, I'd send you a few questions/prompts in a week as I gather more interested people involved (actually, if you know anybody who would want to talk about being in Caroliner, that'd be amazing! Having words from Grux would be crazy, but I'm not sure about how to contact the guy. Perhaps I'll shoot a similar prompt to Subterranean Records and see if they can help out).
I'd love to approach a few songs that you penned or feel interested in discussing - a notable example is Burdensome Blood, which is just beautiful.
Eager to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Have a joyous 2017!!
Here it goes:
1) What pseudonym do you go by? (It can be for this interview. I realize these have changed over albums/interviews)
That's fine Luis, yes my pen name is Dame Darcy it's always that. And I can't remember what ridiculous concoction I was called on the albums but thanks for including me in your interview.
2) What instrument(s) did you play in the band?
OK so I played banjo before I started Caroliner Rainbow, my dad taught me when I was a kid.
Fresh off the farm, I landed in San Francisco as a teen straight from High School.
I had just won a scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute, and my high school boyfriend, Tomas Palermo took me to see Caroline for our shared birthday because it had banjos.
And also because he is a rad noise and experimental music aficionado and DJ for the Loyola university radio station in LA at the time.
That night I turned 18 and he turned 21 I believe. It was amazing and so much fun!
It was a black light glow in the dark Victorian really loud wild west fiasco.
I loved the 3 ladies playing drums in the front wearing florescent painted cowboy boots and pagan looking animal masks while jumping on mini trampolines in weird pseudo Victorian neon costumes and corsets.
Grux looked insane. I think at this show he had the Caroliner the singing bull costume on which to my untrained eye (at the time) seemed like a satanic god crossed with Indian Buddhist mythology.
Basically, a taxidermy bull head that your supposed to hang on the wall in a cowboy bar, but instead made into a giant mask.
Painted florescent green, he wore it over his head. Looking back, I have no idea how he could breathe in that, and it was so heavy!
This "bull" wore 40-gallon spray painted neon orange cowboy hat which was one of those foam rubber ridiculous things worn to football games or whatever.
Then he had on some crazy green ripped up florescent green fun fur costume for the body, and Day-Glo
orange overalls that road crew wear for safety (to match his hat).
His boots were painted to look like bull hooves, and four fake arms with hoofs attached to his real arms while he played the bass through a stack amp the size of a fridge made to look like a Victorian fireplace.
Including one of those revolving plug in fake logs my Grandma from the 50's had in her guest room.
Grux (as I learned he was called) was singing a song that I came to learn was the song the whole band concept was based around. Please forgive me if I don't have it exact. And in fact I might be entirely wrong.
But I believe it was about a famous magical singing bull who had been sacrificed in Wisconsin by pioneer settlers in 1890 who were hallucinating from the spores in their drinking water. I think they were originally from North Carolina.
The bull, after being killed, either resurrected from the dead or the settlers hallucinated he came back to life.
He started singing rainbows. Thus his name Caroliner Rainbow. (Caroliner said with a hick pioneer twang) . The songs were the songs of the bull and we were supposed to be the settlers.
The shows and songs were themed as to what life was like as a pioneer tripping on spores. There was a lot of inspiration derived from the book Wisconsin Death Trip and Bollywood musicals.
Each show and album would be named after incidents or descriptions of what happened to the bull or with the settlers. They were long and rambling in the way Victorian names for a snake oil concoction would be.
Like Caroliner Rainbow Build A Whole Month Of October Blood Curdling Logs. Or Caroliner Rainbow Stewed Angel Skins. Or some other such nonsense.
Grux does not drink, do any drugs, and is a vegetarian by the way. And I dont really either, but hes a complete puritan. Maybe I emulated him and I dont remember.
Anyways, I thought Id add this detail to show how he came up with all this through the power of pure, insane, sober, creativity.
Later when I had been in Caroliner for 2 years, my Mom came to see me play a show and she described the sound as if she was trapped inside a warped carousel going backwards while a train ran over it.
At the time of this first show I'd ever seen, the sound created an entire trippy atmosphere with its costumes, props, and music.
I've never heard anything like before or since.
When I started SFAI I met Christine Shields in the animation dept., a very talented painter and musician herself, she introduced me to Grux.
He took a shine to me, and as an 18-year-old art school student it was off to the races making insane props for him in his demented attic full of laminated florescent painted road kill.
In Caroliner Rainbow, he and Brandon Kearney taught me how to take apart a telephone receiver and solder a pizzas buzzer so I could amplify any instrument.
This is how I made my banjo really loud. Battling feedback, the whole time, but that didn't matter. I also amplified my childhood autoharp Dad taught me sea shanties on when I was five.
The other thing I played was the "pipe organ" which was a keyboard plugged in behind the prop of a pipe organ which was drawn all florescent ornate Victorian punk scribbly style like Grux does.
It was a giant 15-foot-tall nightmare of a thing, attached to a Victorian ladies folding dressing screen found in the trash like everything always was.
The other thing I "played" was a 40 foot revolving giant roulette wheel plugged into an industrial can opener to make it spin.
I had to take care to not let it wrap up all the fluffy tulle off my dress and eat me.
I also played a steel drum which was a barrel that we would roll around the floor and crash into audience members.
I would also shove them into the drum, beat on the sides with a giant fork and spoon prop (that once hung in someone's 70s kitchen) and roll the audience people around while they were in the drum.

Caroliner Rainbow Interview Brazil part 2
3) What records did you play on? (if possible, a brief [or not so brief!] comment on the theme/atmosphere of each)
OK so I was not on the first album, but I'm all over the second one particularly the song Burdensome Blood which I made up the banjo for.
https://youtu.be/cfPopLzL9II figodean doctor of the lariat rope. I played the repetitive keyboard part on this. It's one of the more catchy tunes.
Burdensome Blood was about a crazy Victorian lady from Wisconsin whose legs were broken so she carved them off instead of let them heal.
I made an animated music video for it and showed it as my final at SFAI. It had pictures I drew combined with photos of the band with a stop motion animated mummified gopher corpse Grux lent me to make the video. A red wire ribbon for the blood, and photos of my legs.
The words are every knife in the house is mine. Carvin on the legs makes em fine.
I'll never forget because making an animation took hearing it two billion times.
I was also on other songs singing and playing banjo and whatever, as well as some of the the following 3 albums.
We recorded a bunch of tracks all at once in a falling down giant dilapidated house from the 1860's near an old railroad line. I remember during breaks there was a bucket full of water to flush the toilet.
Eve was a really great singer and we did hillbilly harmonics on the 2nd album. She lived in a giant warehouse converted art loft space.
Grux and Brandon taught me a lot about self-producing touring and distributing at this time.
Which I still do to make a living now.
Everyone was to hand make the album covers.
I may have a Caroliner Rainbow album or two in my archives, but maybe not. Knowing what's on them it's OK if I dont, because they are a bio-hazard.
At the time I was a part time preschool teacher. I would bring photocopied black and white covers for Caroliner to school and color them with the little kids so we could get a lot done at once.
Now these kids are my college age interns, so the more things change, the more they stay the same I guess.
Grux found old records in the trash. He took the records out of the sleeves and laid them out on rolled out garbage bags then smashed them up with a giant ball point hammer.
Everyone would make an assembly line and lay the record covers out on the garbage bags.
Then we'd take house paint and a paint roller and roll them so they were all covered. Bye bye Hewey Lewis and The News.
Then we'd lay the record covers in the still wet paint to stick it, and sprinkle the covers with the smashed up records, hair from a ponytail a girl had just cut off, and random shit found from everywhere. Put our record in, seal in in the plastic bag and voila!
It was distributed by Revolver Records at the time and I remember someone mentioned the Caroliner Rainbow record having to be corralled into its own area so it wouldn't damage others near it.
An Irish witch that was my friend and perhaps Grux's girlfriend at the time? (I'm not mentioning her name because maybe she wouldn't want that) She had long blood red hair, a beautiful lilting accent, and wore white lace ghost costume gowns.
One day she and I needed money so we signed up for medical testing together and ended up going on a boat trip in the rolling San Francisco bay to make us sea sick on purpose.
I apparently got the medicine but she had a placebo.
(Or maybe I just don't get sea sick being a Mermaid as I am ).Regardless, she threw up, and later told me she saved her vomit, dried it on the porch and put it on the Caroliner album covers.
Surprise collectors! Your record may have 25-year-old Irish witch vomit.

4) What costume(s) did you use live? (I imagine it might've been more than one, so you can pick a favorite!) ...
Don't know why the font for my response just got so big. I'm not yelling, please excuse that.
Because everything in Caroliner Rainbow had to look Victorian but also be day glo in order to see it best in black light, this constantly presented a challenge.
I found the perfect dress for my costume which consisted of a few things.
A 70s polyester day glo dress printed with kind of flowery Paisley Victorian wall paper patterns. Over that, a weird bee stinger butt made from papier Mache as the bustle.
Over this a corset painted in orange and green florescent stripes with a day glo painted kitten skull, Victorian forks, doll hands, and broken tea cups hanging off the bottom.
A long green wig like sea weed which was matted with day glo poster paint. And a mask that looked like a broken porcelain doll face, I found in Chinatown.
We also had to use this as body paint because our faces, skin, and everything had to be painted.
Nothing was allowed to be anything but day glo so the black light would pick it up.
Then a giant top hat with an entire tea tray, huge ass feather, and a dried up mummified cat someone found in an attic on it.
The cat was painted and laminated in plastic. I didn't make the hat, but I wore this while brandishing the aforementioned giant fork and spoon.
My favorite costumes though we're the cow one and the bucket one.
Margaret (who also played in the band Thinkin Fellers Union) wore the cow one which had these obscene giant udders coming out of the stomach so she could kind of match Grux's bull costume. If I recall correctly, on tour, in Detroit, something had happened to her clothes, like they were at the laundry place, so she was just walking around wearing it.
My other favorite was the giant bucket of electronic bees.
I think it was Brandon who rigged it to wear over his head like a helmet.
The bees came out of the upside down bucket on wires that wiggled.

Interview part 4
Luis Henrique Misiara:
5) Song of choice to discuss (regarding its lyrical subject matter, recording process, take your pick!)
DD:
I liked the song 50-Foot-Tall Stacked Skeleton.
I also think that was the most impressive live because it was when we would break out the literally 50-foot-tall stacked skeleton doll made from florescent laminated paper, enforced by a series of coat hanger wires.
We played a venue that had a vaulted ceiling and I was so thankful that time because the skeleton literally would roll out and take over everything otherwise.

Caroliner Rainbow Brazil Interview part 5
Luis Misiara:
6) Most rewarding moment (on tour and/or in the studio)
DD:
We went on tour when I had been in Caroliner Rainbow for a year and it was my first tour ever.
Previously in Idaho as a preteen, I saw that Blondie and Adam Ant played at CBGB's in NYC.
So it made me over the moon with glee that the New York venue we were going to play was CBGB's like my rock star idols.
I was elated to see what playing at this venue was like and could check this happiest of accomplishments off my bucket list at age nineteen with so much gratitude to the Goddess.
As we rolled the giant insane truck full of us and the props through Little Italy everyone on the street was literally screaming as we went by.
This was due to a few factors.
At the time, I'd never been there before and I perceived NYC to be extremely loud.
Also we were probably blocking traffic.
Thirdly because everywhere we went no one could believe the sight of the truck.
It was a monster. I think it was from the early 60s. It was like a giant pick up but it had three bench seats one in back of the other and a huge enclosed flat bed in back. It was the height and size of a school bus.
No seat belts.
Loaded with the insane day glow props and music equipment with a homemade lumber yard coffin thing strapped to the top full of more crap.
It broke in Arizona half way through the tour and Brandon Kearney fixed the breaks with a key ring. Which now to my adult brain is a horrific death trap.
The truck break down caused us to miss the Boise Idaho show where all my friends and family had convened to see me. Playing CBGB's made up for this in its way.

Caroliner Rainbow Brazil Interview. I played banjo on this little ditty. Empty Halo.
Luis Misiara:
7) What did the life with Caroliner in the 1800s teach you about life in the 20th/21st century outside of it?
DD:
I had already been raised on a horse ranch by eccentric cowboy poets on what I refer to as home on derange.So even before I moved to San Francisco I was familiar with the Victorian Pioneer combined with acid trip aesthetic.
Maybe that's why my High School boyfriend turned me on to Caroliner Rainbow in the first place.While in Caroliner, with the combination at the time of going to SFAI and making movies with George kuchar, I learned how to be even more of a complete freak than I already was.
How to market my Victorian illustrative style, how to self-publish Meat Cake comics, which started my career?
Fantagraphics just published a 500-page compilation of my comic book Meat Cake, combining 25 years of work that I started when I was in Caroliner Rainbow.
I also learned that art is war and how to just be dolls out and get the most insane and loftiest goals accomplished by taking one step at a time methodically.To weave anything available to make the world into the vision.
Go around or through any obstacles, even if it takes years to get back on track. Just stay on track.
How to work as a team. And how anything can be repurposed to make what you want on the cheap.I learned how to self-publish, distribute, and build a fan base. How to communicate, book a tour and promote.
All the basics I use daily to run my on line mail order business through Dame Darcy.com.The fundamentals of everything I know how to do today that keeps me surviving as an artist I learned first through SFAI, Suckdog, working at Last Gasp as a shipping girl, and through the tutelage of Grux , Brandon, and the other band members of Caroliner Rainbow.
Luis Misiara:
Once again, thank you very much!DD:
Thank you as well Luis! And please send me the link to the final interviews! I can't wait to see what everyone else you interviewed had to say.Did you ask Margaret and Brandon? And did you actually get in touch with Grux? He's so secretive.
PS. I didn't watch any of the Caroliner videos until after I wrote the interview, so I would not contaminate my memories. However, now it's done, I watched the videos and I have to say whoever has made the mask to make their face look like a broken mirror is genius.
And I like the prairie bonnet lady who also has floppy steer horns coming out of it like snail antennae. People's reactions on the feed are hilarious.
Also, Grux seems to be doing the other thing with his face that I now remember.
Instead of the giant taxidermy bull head he's got the head of several kinds of animals all sewn together to make one big skull. And the different voices he sings in I think are supposed to be the different voices of the animals.

Jostain syystä kaikki psykokarkin tämän sivun hienot nostot menneet multa ohi, miten voi olla mahdollista. Mutta nyt osui ja lueskelin pitkästä aikaa juttuja ja rakastan tätä bändiä.
Luen tällaisia rivejä ja olen siellä ysärin San Franciscossa. ponnahtelen näistä riveistä joka suuntaan, olen saakeli enemmän elossa. Näin yhtyeiden pitäisi toimia. Seurata tätä. Mennä kohti tätä koko ajan.
Grux does not drink, do any drugs, and is a vegetarian by the way. And I dont really either, but hes a complete puritan. Maybe I emulated him and I dont remember.

Mä olen outo heppu, jota ujous, häpeä ja ulkopuolisuuden tunteet yrittävät päivittäin liiskata. Se on nyt ihan ok mutta 20-vuotiaana oli vaikeampaa. En voi kyllin korostaa miten tärkeää oli tutustua bändiin, jonka koko olemassaolo juhlisti outouden ilosanomaa, sitä, että vieraannuttava, vastenmielinen, outo, kelvoton voikin olla suurenmoista taidetta. Outouden tutkimisen kautta uuden löytämistä. Tavallisuudelle ja vanhalle ja totutulle keskisormen näyttämistä. Ihanasti pikkusormen pää pop-musiikissa muistuttamassa siitä miten tarpeettomia kaikki säännöt ovat. Sitä joskus erehtyykin luulemaan että outous nujertaa ja sitten tämä yhtye auttaa muistamaan että oikeasti se on rakettipolttoainetta.
You know, if it was a regular salad I wouldn't have said anything. But you had to have the BIG SALAD.
