Nicholas Brothers in the 1940 film “Down Argentine Way”. Director Irving Cummings at the time had considered their dancing scene too long. However, it was thanks to dance director Nick Castle - imploring Cummings to the contrary insisting the piece remain uncut with no slice on the cutting room floor. I, for one, imagine unnecessary horror of butchering fine work as theirs. It was tested at the initial screening and rapturously met with thunderous - and incessant applause that they were surprisingly forced to rewind the film for replay. The film was the first in an ongoing series of Latin American themed movies becoming popular in the ‘40s. One of the many things which distinguished this particular performance from their others was the duo were to dance to Latin inspired music fused with American tap dancing. Giving subtle cultural interlay between cultures. The two produce percussive taps to the Latin rhythms with rhythmic - and music note values considerably faster than the very music itself. The precision and clarity of the taps are astounding. Previously the duo danced to developing jazz idioms of the time - but this performance showcasing their ability to dance to any kind of music while making it uniquely their own. From a technical perspective there are several kinds of new inventive steps - and of a novel kind as both display techniques and also variations of these steps from shuffles, to slides, repeated taps with the same foot - which is incredibly difficult to perform. This is why in technical piano playing repeated notes can be a nightmare to execute - but both perform repeated taps with accurate musicality and control making the tap composition flawless. We see side foot taps too where the outer parts of the foot’s edge are used to create taps. This is simply virtuosity. With additional forward flips into splits, and mesmerising floor work, and incredible base strength, and muscular power in leg muscle support. The leaps over the handkerchief directly into the splits are a wonder. This duo could match anything Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire ever did.

Today, John Carpenter and longtime band mates Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies share a second track from ‘Cathedral’ - a project that marks Carpenter’s highly anticipated return to the realm of audio/visual narrative storytelling. Following previously shared track “Lord of The Underground”, today we share the grinding and dramatic track “The Ferryman”, along with imagery from the graphic novel. Incredible visualizer by Antwan R. Johnson @iamtweezy904 The project spans a new album set for release August 7th on Sacred Bones Records alongside his first ever graphic novel, set for release August 4 via Storm King Comics. In a story rich with River Styx iconography, “The Ferryman” scores a scene in which we encounter the subterranean character of the same name. “I like that one because it really seems to feature all three of us in a special way,” Davies says. “It has interesting harmonies that Cody put together and John’s signature pad-style string parts. It’s more of an electronic metal track in a way, but we just wanted to make it as heavy and driving as possible.” Designed as a fully immersive project, ‘Cathedral’ functions as both soundtrack and narrative engine: each track aligns with a chapter of the graphic novel, with liner notes guiding listeners through the story. As a result the story unfurls like a film and is certainly the closest approximation to a new movie from Carpenter since 2010. “It was so cinematic and vivid,” Carpenter says of the dream that inspired the story. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.” Pre-order your copy of the album and graphic novel today!
