Another generation

The greatest?

It’s The Zimmers Band, starring 90-year-old Alf, from an advance clip of a BBC television documentary made by Tim Samuels to air in May ‘07. (This clip was recorded at the Beatles 2 Studio at Abbey Road studios, hence the reenactment of the Abbey Road cover photo.)

Heather Moon and Kristofer Daltry on stage in France

February 8th, 2007

Morex Optimo’s Heather Wagner and Kristofer Widholm are performing in an ambitious re-enactment of The Who’s legendary destructive performance at the Monterey Pop Festival for “Une Questione de Génération” the upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, France, February 15, 2007.

Joining them on bass as John Entwistle is Pierre de Gaillande, frontman for the ever-cool Melomane. Christoph Draeger (the artist behind the performance and installation piece) will be playing the role of Pete Townshend.

In rehearsals for this project, Pierre, Heather, and Kristofer decided to take the opportunity to learn each other’s songs and create an instamatic and disposable band called “Melorex.” Melorex will also be playing a brief Gallic tour.

Morex Optimo, Melomane, Christoph Draeger as 'The Who?'

Haunting Banality

October 17th, 2006

John Cabral has put together one of the more banal approaches to the virtual world I have yet seen. Add to the banality of evil, the banality of all our market-driven drive to render a world we don’t even feel comfortable living in.

Our 2006 European Tour with Room

September 17th, 2006
The crowd at Klub Helsinki, Zürich
Morex Optimo at the Bleu Lezard, Lausanne
Helsinki Sign
Jet Fighter rest stop
Kerry pensive at Scherer8, Berlin

Flexible, charismatic, jet-lag lands and streaks of rain the tarmac, the club, the glasses of beer, the nap, the twenty minutes of honey-golden sunlight through Marcel’s living room window. A quiet through sliding wood doors. Heather and Kerry bundled under jackets and comforters that need comforting themselves.

*

The room comes and goes and is full of people, and then we’re the only ones left, carrying our high-spirits through the air cold with exhaustion. We couldn’t imagine a warmer welcome. You can’t forget, so let’s keep looking at each other. Help me with this song, will you? And you, in the back, thank you for the way you raise your glass when you ask for an encore. Thank you for tripping over cobblestone streets to get here. Thank you for keeping cities like this alive, eating their way down through highways, taverns, churches, and plate tectonics.

*

This one? I believe we were sharing dairy products on the lawn along the highway between Bern and Lausanne. Yes? No? The jet fighter is at rest-stop.

*

And what a welcome we get from you, you big old lovely place, with your dadaist oops of history sliced into regularity, Calvinism, and theories of relativity and space-time inconstancy. Sold out at Klub Helsinki, and Room absolutely rocks the entire crowd two or three inches off the floor. We hit the stage running, scrape our knees a little, but the crowd carries us through.

*

And then there a moments that are just like throwing a stone into water.

Morex Optimo vs. Robbie Williams in Bern, Switzerland

August 23rd, 2006

Die gute Stube des Café Kairo statt das Stade de Suisse, New-York-Rock statt Robbie-Williams-Pop: Mit den Bands Morex Optimo (Bild) und Room sind heute Abend Vertreter der innovativen Musikszene des Big Apple zu Gast in Bern.

Frischer, intelligenter Powerpop aus New York

August 22nd, 2006

St. Gallen Tagblatt, Aug 22, 2006

Rorschach/St. Gallen.

Im Minivan durch Europa
Morex Optimo entstanden im Zuge der Jüngsten Explosion innovativen Rocks aus Brooklyn, fanden aber in keiner ger gängigen Schubladen Platz. In ihrer neusten Version spielt die Band lebendigen, verzwickten Pop. Um den Abgang von Bassist Yuri Weber zu verkraften, verschanzte sich das Kernduo Kristofer Widholm (Gitarre, Gesang) und Heather Wagner (Schalgzeug, Gesang) vergangenen Winter mit dem Produzenten Jay Braun (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Mooney Suzuki) im Studio. Braun blieb als Bassist bei Morex Optimo hängen. Das Quartett wird durch die warme Stimme and die knackigen Gitarrenriffs von Kerry Kennedy vervollständigt.

Morex Optimo 2.0!

July 21st, 2006

Morex Optimo 2.0!
We’re honored, thrilled, flattered, hammered and borderline diarrheaic with excitement that we’ve got Negatone and Kapow!ist Jay Braun on bass and former Blue Spark, Overlordess and Anabolic Kerry Kennedy on guitar for our upcoming European tour! (If you’d like to help with the booking/radio/press, let us know)

Jay recorded, mixed and produced our three song EP, which sounds amazing! And if sitting together lo those many hours at close quarters til the wee hours of the morn for months on end didn’t make him sick of us, probably nothing will, certainly not a coupla weeks in the Swiss Alps. We hope.

The amazing Kerry Kennedy is taking time off from her band(s) to come play guitar with us too! Come say goodbye to us at Sin-e on August 15, we leave the next day for a 2-week European tour with ROOM.

Please have a listen to our new songs and let us know what you think.

New “3 Songs” CD out and ready for the world!

May 14th, 2006

Three songs about death, love, and death. Ha ha, as if there were any difference! Recorded and produced by evil genius Jay Braun (Negatones, Kapow, Mooney Suzuki), this short collection of recent material is intense, harrowing, and joyful. Look for the mp3s here and on iTunes soon. A beautifully packaged CD will be available on CD Baby and Vermillion as well.

Ursula Endlicher’s Morex Optimo Web site performance

March 22nd, 2006

Artist Ursula Endlicher makes a wide variety of some of the most jaw-droppingly odd and hilarious performance based video out there. One of her projects has been to make “Web Site Portrait” performances. As she says:

Quote:
Website Portrait Performances (WPPs) consist of graphical visualizations of the hyper-links of a particular website which illustrate the link structure two levels down into it. How the website is written in HTML will define how the links are displayed in the graphic. The grammar of one medium (HTML) is applied to another (graphic).Furthermore these visualizations are read as so-called “dance notations”. Each link is performed depending on how the individual node is defined in the graphic. If a link shows seventy sub-links (HTML) for example, the performance (”dance”) will consist of seventy movements. Finally, each link selected by the user also simultaneously displays the real-time URL of the according page of the specific website on a secondary monitor (installation) or window (web).

She has made a beautiful Web Site Portrait Performance based on the Morex Optimo Web site. Enjoy!

Thanks, Ursula!
