San Fran trio Mi Ami is touring behind their brand-new release, STEAL YOUR FACE (Thrill Jockey, April 6), which consists of six carefully choreographed forays into intensely stimulating electronic noise that combine for a thirty-seven-minute freak-out of massive proportions. From the space-age battle in “Latin Lover” to the psychedelic afrobeat of “Dreamers,” from the searing guitars and propulsive percussion of “Native Americans (Born in the U.S.A.)” to the monster finale, “Slow,” which is something akin to what it would sound like if Rage Against the Machine created a new soundtrack to APOCALYPSE NOW, STEAL YOUR FACE is one huge dose of awesome primal scream therapy emanating from guitarist Daniel Martin McCormick, bassist Jacob Long, and drummer Damon Palermo. Mi Ami will be at Cake Shop on April 12, sandwiched in between Drawlings and Soft Circle, with DJ Awesome Tapes from Africa filling in the gaps.
