Holding Out Their Hands

Going to cosy Sala Vol in the barrio of Poblenou tonight to see London's experimental neo-folkers Modern Nature, with the great Jeff Tobias from Brooklyn's Sunwatchers somewhat surprisingly sitting in on sax. Good times ahead.

Modern Nature - Criminals

Close Watch

Don't miss the Sunwatchers on the remainder of their European tour, my amigos da musica. I caught the tight Brooklyn combo yesterday night here in town and their channeling of Ornette and the krauts by way of Sonic Youth and the Minutemen was mighty impressive indeed. Cosmic skronk you gotta watch.

Anything But

Worshipping at the altar of electric Miles, Albert Ayler, and the Sun City Girls, the Sunwatchers take no prisoners on their dense second outing, cleverly called II. Easy listening is obviously not very high up their list, but don't let this drive you away. Give 'em some time and you might be rewarded for stamina. Oh, and one wouldn't want to miss these New Yorkers covering Dylan and the Meat Puppets on an inspired Lagniappe Session over at Aquarium Drunkard either. Stand in solidarity, folks!
