Can anyone vouch for him?

I've been told positive things from mostly trustworthy types. I think I'm supposed to go see a show with AP on the bill tomorrow..?

I've never, ever heard anyone say anything positive about his live shows.

Are they noise fans though?

Well, they're fans of Ariel Pink. And Ariel Pink is about as far from noise as you can get.

Be Ariel Pink's Backing Band for a Day

February 2, 2006 – Paw Tracks artist Ariel Pink announced today that he’s inviting local musicians to perform with him onstage.

“You will get to be my back-up band – for a day,” said Ariel Pink.

On his upcoming tour, Ariel will perform the first half of his show solo, and the second half with his band of the day. The first band in each touring city to e-mail katy@fanaticpromotion.com will get the opportunity to play with Ariel Pink. Ariel asks local bands to arrive by sound check so they can practice before the show, and to bring their own instruments and amplifiers. Drummers are invited, but beware, you will have to compete with Ariel Pink’s mouth, which will provide the drumming for his solo set.

“The element of surprise will keep me from falling asleep onstage,” said Ariel Pink.

It could be fantastically awful.

Yeah...good point. For some reason, my posse of "noise" friends are all about Mr. AP and I usually trust their opinion on things, even though they tend to be universally positive about anything "different" from "not different"...if that makes any sense.

Currently debating whether or not to help a friend hang more dry wall or go to this show.

Well I'm also a big fan of noise and a big fan of Ariel Pink, although I don't know if there's any relation between them. I know what you're saying though. I think the only reason he gets grouped in with noise acts is because he's on Paw-Tracks and frequently championed by Animal Collective.

Go to the show, though. Let me know how it was.

Noise? Huh.

I'm hesitant because of the backing band scenario. Animal Collective is here tomorrow night. That'd've been a good pairing.
