It seems that OLdham and Harem Scarem had a ten day rehearsal period before playing the dates together. We can expect to hear a new set of tunes written collaborately as well as arranged accompaniment for Oldham.

wow!slint as a backing!deadly.
woulda loved to see him and pajo doing "pissing in the wind".
really got in to seafarers music too. has he ever played that? not that its really an album that would work live but whens that stopped him before.?
heard great stories from lou barlow's best friend(dont ask.hehe.)that he used to do these amazing instores in the states whered he'd just lie on the shop counter and people came in and sat down. or gigs he'd do just himself and some hand claps..

'twas quality. really nice arrangements with them scotch folkies.

of bonniewillpalace songs?

 

[Franco]

yep. did a couple of songs on his own, and then was joined by the band for the rest of the gig.

 

[Dude no.7]

twas brilliant last night.... Harem Scarem were great with the Bonny Prince.... the four women singing worked brilliantly...
the encore had "madeleine mary" and "i see a darkness"

You know the whole buzz about the Palace Brothers at the time was that it basically was Slint under a different name. How wrong we were .. it was deadly though. Except the TCD gig ... that was shite. Students, eh?

 

[Kid Lovebeach]
