RIO/Avant Drop-In Centre - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I have little knowledge of RIO/Avant bands, beyond the obvious ones, this despite the fact that my own band are in this category. Perhaps you could assist the growth of my knowledge with some suggestions?

Bands in this subgenre that I like include Boredoms, The Residents, Beefheart, some Zappa, Henry Cow, & Diamanda Galas.

Check out our "Romantic Warriors II - About Rock in Opposition" Documentary, a 98 min length film that begins and ends at the 2011 Rock in Opposition festival in Carmaux, France, and between those two bookends tells the story of this idiosyncratic movement -- or style, or whatever you want to call it -- that was birthed in the late '70s and has against all odds persisted on and off to the present day.

As it tells the RIO story from the '70s to the present day, Romantic Warriors II is smartly paced and covers all the points an aficionado could possibly want. It also presents the case for RIO remaining viable, and indeed groundbreaking, after over three challenging decades for the artists involved, with over ten additional "contemporary" bands showcased via performance clips of these later groups. A separate DVD called "Got RIO? Special Features DVD" includes concert footage of eight of these bands, just enough material to give you a taste of the emerging

I was making my way through youtube, trying to avoid kittens and aliens when I found an artist that scarred me a little, I quickly checked PA, and sure enough, here she is. On a site dedicated to what is typically thought of as obscure music, within the most obscure sub-genre, lies an artist, in the purist sense of the word, that may be the most inaccessible on the site. Tenko has no reviews of any of her albums on PA. I have found that there are other available albums. I am not familiar enough with her work to add them. Youtube searches yield some of the most intense vocal pieces I have ever seen. Anybody else familiar with her?

This one is particularly disturbing.

That's some weird sh*t but is it art?

The Tenko performance reminds a dance performance I saw last year, in which the two dancers acted like patients from a psychological asylum: not the nicest view to have in mind before going to bed...
I know her for a while, thanks to her appearance on David Moss' Dense Band (1985) and on Fred Frith's Technology Of Tears (1988), but my knowledge of her work stops here.

I've been really getting into the new Guapo album in a big way. Might be my favorite of theirs now.

I heartily recommend it, especially if you are a Yoshida fan.

Well I like Koenjihyakkei and Korekyojin a lot, Ruins less so.
