Following their appearance in The Wire's and other 2009 end-of-year polls for their 'Brokebox Juke' lp, Courtis/Moore return to the UK to perform live improvised soundtracks to this Argentine found-film collage.
The film compiles a selection of Argentine home movies mainly from the 1970’s. The footage was originally recorded in Super-8 and has been transferred to digital to be screened in public. The compilation shows diverse aspects of daily life in diverse Argentine cities and rural scenes, bringing a portrait of Argentinian collective memory from those years, to the sound of the drone, abstract psychedelia and free rock improvisation of Alan Courtis and Aaron Moore.
As Courtis/Moore they released their first collaborative album 'Brokebox Juke' (NO-FI) in 2009, to a raft of critical acclaim - "a great achievement, and one of the year's strongest releases" The Wire
Aaron Moore has also of late been touring in his band with NoNeck Blues Band's Dave Nuss, Amolvacy, and has just completed 4 performances in New York as part of Boredoms for their Boadrum9 shows. And of course, he's an integral member Volcano The Bear, seen in Cambridge at Bad Timing in November.
Alan Courtis (aka Anla Courtis, Alna Courtis, etc) was a founder member of the Reynols, a band with more than 100 releases on labels from USA, Europe, Japan & NZ, including conceptual and/or absurd projects like: 10.000 Chicken Symphony, Blank Tapes, Whistling Kettle Quartet. He has collaborated with musicians like: Pauline Oliveros, Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Damo Suzuki (Can), Eddie Prevost (AMM), Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Yoshimi P-Wee (Boredoms), Chris Corsano, Ashtray Navigations.
