MUSIC | Moon Duo howl at the Turf Club

by Alex Gaterud, TC Daily Planet
I wish I had Moon Duo's hair. Ripley Johnson (guitar; also of Wooden Shjips)
sports a graying mane and matching beard that remind me of a leaner, more
primal Warren Ellis; Sanae Yamada (keyboards) has a clean black pageboy that
hides her face as she rides her organ. Their hair, long and somewhat scary, is
suited to droning, deafening rock, which is what they specialize in. Simply
dressed in white tees and hunkered over their instruments with no stage
lighting save a disco ball, Moon Duo brought their glowering, grinding haze to
a sadly underattended Turf Club Sunday night.

The Minnesota Opera is celebrating the centenary of legendary Hollywood
composer Bernard Herrmann with the first major production of his only opera,
Wuthering Heights, which was completed in Minneapolis in 1951. Herrmann, the
Academy Award-winning composer for directors Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock,
Franois Truffaut and Martin Scorsese, is considered one of the 20th century's
greatest creators of film music.
