Rhys Chatham performing live Kosmische Club Oya Festival
2007


NY underground legend Rhys Chatham performing live in Oslo August
2007. The insistent motorik rock n roll pulse that runs from Bo
Diddley to Neu! to Tony Conrad to The Ramones is captured by Rhys
Chatham, the crowd rapturously lost in the joy of repetition (as
Hot Chip would have it) the sublime object always just over the
horizon. He played as part of kosmische night events at the Oya
Festival. This is a full performance of Guitar trio which been
influential on groups like Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca, Band of
Susans, Helmut and the swans.

“Written in 1977, Guitar Trio is Rhys Chatham's signature
composition, and with good reason. With a single, repeated chord,
Chatham permanently altered the DNA of rock by splicing the
gritty, overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad
with the elemental fury of the Ramones. The amalgamation was
inspired. It energized the downtown New York scene throughout the
late 1970s and early 1980s, and made Chatham a founding father of
the notorious No Wave movement.”
