Fricke’s Picks: Benevento’s Golden TouchPhoto: Greg Aiello There are no off hours at SXSW. One morning, hours after finishing a late-night club set, pianist Marco Benevento was in the KUT-FM studios at the University of Texas with his trio, performing the exuberant redesigns of My Morning Jacket’s “Golden” and Deerhoof’s “Twin Killers” from his delightful new album, Me Not Me (Royal Potato Family). Benevento also demonstrated how, live and on record, he combines loops, distortion and the piano’s pure-ivory ring “to accent the color in

Kings of Leon Crank It Up For Kids at “Pancake Mountain” TapingEarlier this week, the Kings of Leon had one of their strangest gigs. And probably one their shortest. Before their sold-out show at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the group performed in front of a mess of preteens to film an episode of Pancake Mountain, the amusingly subversively children’s rock TV show whose guests have included Jenny Lewis, Built to Spill, Deerhoof, Nellie McKay and Robert Randolph. “We haven’t started giving the band alcohol yet, so we’re good,” laughed the show’s creator Scott Stuckey as children flooded the stage and surrounded the band. Two kids started crying as the band did a brief sound check. Bassist Jared Followill thundered some impressively heavy distorted lines while the drums heated up. The kids looked nervous. Nacho, the shaggy-haired sound tech, manned up. “We need a mommy,” he announced. “Is there a mommy in the house?” Stuckey encouraged the two kids who introduced the band: “Really give it,” he said, “take the whole thing from the top.” Spotting some kids stuffing fingers in their ears, the crew started handing out ear plugs, gently showing the kids how to pinch and place them in. After that, they danced like maniacs. Even when the music stopped, some kept dancing. KOL played two songs (they would have done more, but drummer Nathan Followill was late). “My Party,” was searing and vicious, especially considering it was a pre-show send-up for kids. When the band finished, they seemed bewildered and a bit uncomfortable. Caleb Followill leaned into the mike, “I’m just trying to think of something they can dance to,” he said. “Should we try ‘Razz’?” Minutes later, they thumped to an end, the kids shuffled off the stage, and the room cleared out for the real show. The crew wiped their brows and sighed. The tots were gone. “Just thank God they didn’t play ‘Sex on Fire,’ ” chuckled one onlooker.

Fricke’s Picks: Marco Benevento Fearless Piano Marco Benevento was barely into his first set at New York’s Sullivan Hall on a recent night when, after hitting a few wandering notes on his piano, he punched a button on one of his “circuit bent toys” — a customized armada of effects pedals — drenching the ivory in fuzz for a power-jazz assault on Deerhoof’s “Twin Killers.” Over the four sets I saw during Benevento’s January residency at the club (with different rhythm sections each week), he also tackled Led Zeppelin’s “What Is and What Should Never Be,” “Golden,” by My Morning Jacket, and the stately ascension of Pink Floyd’s “Fearless.” Those are brutal things to do to a baby grand. But Benevento, also in jam-scene stars the Benevento-Russo Duo with drummer Joe Russo, often hammers his keyboards like John Bonham and writes like a guitarist. On Invisible Baby (Hyena), with bassist Reed Mathis and drummers Andrew Barr and Matt Chamberlain, Benevento sculpts his pieces with playful weirdness too (the insect-dance hook of “The Real Morning Party”) and addresses the melodies and spaces in “Ruby” and “You Must Be a Lion” with heated grace. He can go long and wild: In one jam at Sullivan Hall, he swung between rude-synth fun and high-speed piano breaks as if he were both Keith Emerson and McCoy Tyner. Last year’s three-CD set, Live at Tonic, is more of that, with Benevento solo, in duos and groups, and having big fun the whole time.
