Alex Chow, Sister Suvi, Toumai and Trippy Pics (but not Miracle Fortress, sadly)

by Risa Dickens

The Void Magazine fundraiser (Sala Rosa), January 19th 2007:
Photos and text by brand new Indyish Intern, Marilis Cardinal

The Alex Chow Symphony Orchestra consisted of, low and behold, Islands‘ very own violinist Alex Chow, joined by filmmaker Sinbad Richardson who toyed with the beats. They played 4 songs including a cover of Feist’s Secret Heart.

Takashi Egashira as Toumaï played an electrifying and intense solo set.

Sister Suvi gave another heart-warming performance, this time complete with incense. The million-miles-an-hour voice of Merrill Garbus and her ukulele soared along with Patrick Grégoire’s deep voice and guitar and Nico Dann on the drums.

Secret Choir were forced to cancel due to a cold that hit many of its members but they should be back in full force on January 31st opening for Guided by Voices. I unfortunately had to miss Miracle Fortress, but having seen him at work many times before, I’m sure he was quite the treat to everyone present.
