The road to hell is paved with good intentions and there sure are a lot of speed bumps along the way… 2007 was a quiet year for Ri Be Xibalba as there was much waiting for various things. …And Shiva Came For Charlie is now in production, though one of the above mentioned speed bumps is that the pressing plant of choice is a little backed up at the moment. This LP will compile the 12 tracks previously released on this site as free mp3 tracks, along with a previously unavailable archival recording by Charles Gocher. Charles Gocher, philosopher, drummer without peer and damn unique human being, died on Monday night, February 19th, 2007. Without him Sun City Girls no longer exists and the music world is much poorer, not to mention those who knew him as a friend. This LP collects the music of friends and contemporaries here in Seattle and is dedicated to his memory. Following this limited edition compilation, Ri Be Xibalba will doing the first release by abAna, a wonderful group from the early 1970's which featured Bob Cobbing, David Toop and Paul Burwell. Some time after this should be the long promised release by The No-Neck Blues Band. As this is planned to be available as both a regular and special edition, in the manner of the Piano Bar release, this is taking longer to realize than originally foreseen. The best way to keep up to date on these activities, and make sure you don't miss anything, is to drop an and start get the Ri Be Xibalba email newsletter which tends to include a bit of info which doesn't get posted to the site. In addition to releasing music, Ri Be Xibalba publishes the magazine Bixobal which is now up to its third issue. Click that link you just passed for full details. |
