Nathan came on about half way through Wedren's solo set and performed six Shudder songs with the Craig's band, which included former Shudder drummer Kevin March(who also played in GBV). The artists played "X-French Tee Shirt," "Red House," "Lies About the Sky," "No Rm. 9, Kentucky," "Day Ditty" and "Appalachian Lullaby," which featured vocals from Larson's wife, the lovely Nina Persson, of the Swedish pop group, The Cardigans, who also put out a great album last year. Wedren was funny, recounting stories about the first songs they wrote for movies, how the brief reunion happened and Larson meeting Persson when they collaborated on a song. This was certainly one of the coolest and low-key re-unions in some time. I think we've been lucky enough to see a few really great bands re-unite over the past few years, Texas Is The Reason, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Seaweed, the Pixies and of course, the ill-fated, Police. If now we could only get Quicksand,Dismemberment Plan and Failure back together.
Came across this logo the other night. Kinda looks a lot like a band's logo if you ask me. I smell a lawsuit, HA!
Listening Pile:
As you might know by now, Les Savy Fav has an incredible new record entitled Let's Stay Friends that came out earlier this month. Praise the Lord! Its the first all new material from the band since 2001. Please go to the media section at their label,
French Kiss now and check out "The Equestrian" and "What Would Wolves Do?". This band is awesome. They make great records, run their own label and play the most incendiary shows this side of old Trail Of Dead. I mean, come on! Who doesn't love a portly man running around kissing people and hugging them in bikini briefs? Who?
