"...Like a lot of rock bands, the local band Barn Owl, rely on
the classic bass-guitar-drum set-up. And like a lot of rock
bands, Barn Owl lend the impression that, in fact, they know
not at all what it is they're doing. The difference -- ergo,
the Barn Owl difference -- is that a) Barn Owl are not a rock
band and, b) Barn Owl seem to want people to question their
competence.
A Barn Owl performance is bound to raise some questions. Like,
for instance, why does Barn Owl's approach to instrumentation
resemble that of cavemen encountering highly advanced alien
technology? Why is that electric bassist playing his instrument
like an upright bass? Why is that drummer throwing objects
against his kit? And, like, what's up with that guitarist
sticking that thing -- that drum stick, that old spring, that
broken bike lock --where it really doesn't seem to belong?
"We don't consider what we do performance art," says Barn Owl
drummer Matt Weston. "But we're all influenced by rock bands
that have certain theatrical elements in them."
Barn Owl are a "noise" band, and beyond the dramatics of
performance, its three members are interested in the texture,
volume, weirdness and all-around coolness of sound.
Fortunately, many cool sounds happen to look cool in
performance: a cello bow slid along an electric bass, a tuning
fork wedged beneath the strings of an electric guitar, an old
computer case slammed against a drum cymbal. Adding to the
confusion, there are, according to Weston, "somewhere between
three and several dozen" effects pedals onstage during any
given performance..."
