Hi and welcome to the 7th track by "Then She Reaches For The Gun". The ever changing line up has some new members this time around as we tackle Lewis Carroll’s famous nonsense poem The Jabberwocky. I haven’t read Carroll since I was a teenager so it was a cool trip down memory lane doing a bit of background research for this piece. Big Thanks to Gary Rees who first sent me an English reading to the work a few months ago. It sat on my desktop for a while as I wondered how tackle the work. After a while it seemed obvious the best (and most fun) approach might be to get some translations recording in other languages… so thats what we did, hope u enjoy 

The Jabberwocky features the following artists


Tuonela - Electronica
Yui Nikaido - Voice (Japanese)
Gary Rees - Voice ( English)
Raul Mainer - Voice (Spanish)
Antonella Eye Porcelluzzi - Voice (French)
Paolo D’Emilio - Voice (Italian)
Frank Wilke - Voice (German)
Hverheij - Guitar
MatVee - Electronica
Widar’s Spiritual Front - Electronica

Me - noise, digital orchestra/piano

More about Then She Reaches For The Gun

The project’s inspiration is two fold: Firstly its a homage to some of the stuff i grew up listening to like Mr. Bungle and other noisy bastards where anything goes, and often in quick fire succession and secondly it” a chance to work with an never ending stream of talented musicians that i have known for years either in real life Australia or via the Internet. Each track will no doubt change depending on who has sent me what. 

If you would like to be part of this ongoing project….

The process is simple, I collect a bunch of random recordings from people and then see what i can arrange from it. Nothing subtle here, just huge noisy fun : ) I am open to anyone that thinks they might like to be part of this mess. Drop me a message and i will send you my email. The only criteria is that i wont be using samples from TV/film/other music etc, so just original stuff played on instruments, field recordings, stupid drunk conversations etc. Cheers!

Jim MorrisonThe Lost Interview Tapes (Volume One)

First performance: 15 June 1991 - 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA
Last performance: 18 November 2008 - Auditorio Nacional, Mexico City, Mexico
Total number of performances: 206

Considered by many to be one of the band’s greatest live songs and often cited by Michael on stage as his favourite song. Compared to the album version, on stage the band took the song to another level, fueled by Peter’s powerful guitar solo and Michael’s impassioned singing. You won’t find many people to argue that the live version is far superior to the album version.

Ignored on the ‘Out Of Time’ promotional tour, its debut performance came a few months later at an unannounced support slot for Vic Chestnutt, where the band played under the name ‘William’.

It was a very frequently played song on the 1995 tour, receiving 120 plays (92% of all shows), and while its frequency reduced it was still featured on all following tours, peaking in 2003 with 21 plays (37% of all shows). The songs last performance came during the encore at the final show in Mexico City.

Fun fact: Neil Young played guitar on the song with the band for 2 shows on 17 and 18 October 1998 at the 12th Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert in Mountain View, CA. Neil did this again on 5 October 2004 in St. Paul, MN during the ‘Vote For Change’ tour. The performance from 18 October 1998 was released on the 1999 fanclub single, along with the band backing Neil on his song ‘Ambulance Blues’.

The version featured here isn't with Neil Young, but instead features Nils Lofgren, who joined the band on stage during the 'Vote For Change' tour on 8 October 2004 in Orlando, FL, for an equally powerful performance.
