Christopher Schiel -- who as a Newport News resident recorded some mind-bending experimental sounds under the name Absentee -- is returning to the area Sunday night to play at The NorVa. Schiel, who now records as Christopher Francis, currently lives in Washington state. This is from his e-mail from last week:
"I'll be playing bass with Two Ton Boa opening for Dresden Dolls at the Norva on January 13. Two Ton Boa, of Olympia,
Washington, has released a full-length, an EP, and a 7" on the legendary Kill Rock Stars label (Elliott Smith, The Decemberists,
Sleater Kinney, Bikini Kill). The band, the corrupted brain child of Miss Sherry Fraser, is the dark and heavy romp of two bass guitars and a junkyard infused drum-kit backing Fraser's powerhouse voice, which is often likened to Siouxsie Sioux and PJ Harvey ... Oh, and just a second ago I saw that David Byrne himself playlisted my track from "Worried Noodles" on his web radio station!!
