SUMMARY:Shakey Graves @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nShakey Graves \nA Tour de Point Show\n \n  \nFriday\, December 10\, 2021  Doors: 7 PM / Show: 8 PM \nHigher Ground | South Burlington\, VT \n– Tickets and Event Info – \n  \nThe prehistory of Shakey Graves exists in two overstuffed folders. Inside them\, artifacts document an immense era of anonymous DIY creativity\, from 2007 through 2010 – the three years before Roll The Bones came out and changed his life. There are stencils\, lyrics\, drawings\, prototypes for concert posters\, and even a zine. The latter\, which Graves – aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia – wrote and illustrated\, tells the tale of a once-courageous\, now retired mouse who must journey to the moon to save his sweetheart. At the time\, he envisioned the photocopied storybook as a potential vessel for releasing his music. \n“There was a lot of conceptualizing going on – trying to figure out what I wanted stuff to look like\, sound like\, and be like\,” Rose-Garcia recalls\, shuffling through the physical files on his second-story deck in South Austin. “And\, honestly\, a lot of trying to keep myself from going crazy.” \nIn this lode of unreleased ephemera\, CD-Rs are the most bountiful element. There are dozens of burned discs with widely varying track lists\, loosely resembling what would become the Austin native’s 2011 breakout debut Roll the Bones . For Rose-Garcia\, who’s long loved the incongruous art form of sequencing strange mixtapes for friends\, his own record was subject to change every time he burned a disc for somebody. Consistency didn’t matter\, he asserts\, because there was no demand or expectations. \nThus Roll the Bones was by no means a Big Bang creation story\, rather a years long process of metamorphosis where literally hundreds of tracks were winnowed down into ten. As the album took shape\, he began manufacturing one-off editions of the CD\, stapled to self-destruct in brown paper\, with black and white photographs glued upon them\, and an ink pen marking of the artist’s enduring logo: a skull struck by an arrow.
