The Rant: Galaxy Express (Korea) @ The Mohawk [3.25.12]
Galaxy Express is one in a cluster of amazing shows that I’ve caught on Mohawk’s inside stage recently. Between seeing Cloud Nothings and Friends during SXSW day parties, and Twin Sister a few months back, I am starting to fall in love with the little room. The setting is cozy and flanked in fresh-cut firewood (well, almost), and pretty much guarantees an intimate show.
Galaxy Express (갤럭시 익스프레스) was formed in 2006 in Seoul, South Korea. Bassist Lee Joohyeon and guitarist Park Jonghyeon trade-off on vocals, while Yoon Honggu takes complete charge of the drums. I was personally very excited to see this band because I’ve watched them play multiple times at dirty little clubs in Seoul, when I lived there from 2006-2009. They were the city’s garage rock darlings, loved by young, hip Koreans and considered saviors by expats like myself, who were dying for some edgy, original tunes in a sea of manufactured K-Pop. If you ask me, these guys are kind of a big deal. They have managed to cut through the largely homogeneous Korean mainstream to win national awards including “Best Rock Album”, and they have played many of Asia’s biggest music festivals. Their last album, Wild Days, released in 2010, was ambitiously written, recorded, and released in 30 days, with their fan base watching closely via the Web.
Meanwhile, their buzz over here seems to have been growing since at least 2011, when they played the Seoulsonic Showcase at SXSW Music (held at Easy Tiger before its trendy boulangerie transformation). When I saw that the band was back for another official SXSW show this year and a spot at Mohawk a week later, it was clear to me that their momentum had not slowed.
Following a swift sound check, the fellas dove right into a fast hard groove and after the first song, the guitarist quietly urged everyone to come closer. Lee is the epitome of super cool, almost always seen in a black leather jacket and sunglasses. Although Park seemed happy to be giving the last performance of their tour, which included no less than seven shows during SXSW, they were loose and still had plenty of energy for the crowd who quickly warmed up. The trio plowed skillfully through a litany of garage rock tunes, and by the last song, they literally had us all singing along.
Detroit’s MC5 are clearly an influence, as witnessed by an onstage tribute to Mike Davis, who passed away in February 2012. Park lamented the loss of the legendary bassist before launching into a vicious cover of Kick out the Jams. For more evidence, watch this cover of Ramblin’ Rose from 2007:

The Rant: Saul Williams @ The Mohawk [3.3.12]
Saul Williams walked onto the Mohawk stage beating a drum homemade from a shallow wooden box. He was backed by CX Kidtronix on laptops, a trombone player, and a drummer. I remember a distinctive wave of nostalgia rolling over me, both for the memories of Williams’ music in that formative time in my life, and for the Mr. T haircut on CX Kidtronix.
Williams’ songs and poems burst with lightness, optimism, empowerment, and at the same time darkness, cynicism, and realism. That balance has manifested onstage as a pair of incantations invoking muses both male and female (from Gaia to Nostradumus to Nikola Tesla), and in album form through works such as The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust, both a satire and a celebration. Also, the album cover is amazing. If you love jewelry, kittens, and/or red eye patches, this is for you.
