Shuffled #33: Deep Heaven Then and Now Interview with Jinsen Lui

Every other Wednesday either Matt or Alex C-Y share their love of music in an assortment of ways. Shuffled is a podcast whose format is as varied as their tastes in music, so hopefully you won't ever be bored and everyone can find something to enjoy.

It happened again... The second guitar sacrifice in Ghost Box Orchestra's set at the P.A.'s Lounge. "I'm sorry, but that's it. We've ran out of guitars," apologized guitarist Jeremy Lassetter as he overlooked two battered and string-less guitars. As few people began to trickle out of the venue, suddenly a wild third guitar appeared out of the crowd! "I promise not to break this one," said Lassetter and proceeded to rock the fuck out for one more song.

Such is the nature of the current Deep Heaven Now music festival held twice a year in the spring and fall. For two nights between two separate venues, bands from across the New England area, and some from beyond, blast heavy doses of ear splitting shoegaze, experimental, ambient, and psychedelic rock. While compared to higher profile music festivals, this one is very low key. Still, for the amount of music that is played over two days, complete with visuals and effects, it takes quite an undertaking to bring all of this together. Just before everything kicked off last Friday, I spoke with founder Jinsen Lui on a busy corner at Union Square. Enjoy this quick talk about the history of Deep Heaven Now and where it is now, featuring a slice of music of artists from this springs festivities and some from years past.
