S/D: David Kilgour / The Clean

^^the aforementioned peter gutteridge guest spot, plus a VU cover. both killer.

pretty sure there's a clean performance going on in the park just across the valley from me right now!

You near Port Chalmers? IIRC they're playing at the final night of Chicks Hotel tonight ...

nah, i'm up the top end of n.e.v. seems they were taking part in a community event for spreading knowledge about lindsay's creek & environs :-D

when i first heard the guitar i initially thought it was coming from a practicing neighbour copping kilgour's sound... then the rest of the band came in

& yes, closing of chicks tonight but tickets were $$$ + i imagine it's gonna be seriously packed in there, so :-/

The Clean are playing SF Oct 1. No other US dates at this point.

2 more dates announced, looks strictly california at this point:

Show in SF cancelled due to family illness, Stephen Malkmus playing (Spiral Stairs 50th bday) instead.

The entire tour has been cancelled. I mean...I feel for ya, family illness and all, but it is tremendously disappointing.

^^

I'm actually quite taken with the two departures from his usual sound - the piano/Cloudboy vibes in "Swan Loop", and the Billy TK scorch of "Ngapara".

He's never made a bad record. Or even come close to one.

^^ seriously. just so consistent. and consistently underrated.

"I’m so glad to have completed this piano piece, it’s been hanging around in raw form for about 7 years and I always forget about it. .....and just like that it’s completed and out! Woo hoo!.....it's possibly my last statement on my obsession with minor chords and maj 7th chords."
