I've never heard the dirty projectors and I don't really care to start now but Tune-Yards is supporting?

She's deadly

Knotty Pine and Stillness is the Move are amazing songs

[worthit]

Phew. just got two tickets. What's the likelihood of Future Islands selling out too?

“I worked all summer / couldn’t save a cent, I gave all of my money to the government, I don’t know how it get spend but the banks are coming for my deeds boys”.

Having stumbled into Charlie Parr in a small room in Galway on one of his guerilla trips to Europe from his home of Duluth, Minnesota, Independent Records has spent the best part of a year getting to know the various parts of his catalogue which, although mostly recorded this century, mostly sound like the last century. At the time, we thought, people wouldn’t be too into the blues, things are too good, the futures too bright and Charlie’s beard is way too long. His Walmart pants and worn out check shirts have no place in a country awash with skinny young and handsome indie kids.
Initially we released Charlie’s last album of field recordings ‘Roustabout.’ No point in depressing people too much.

Then something strange happened, people started sitting in rooms with Charlie and listened to his stories of depression, dead cats, bank closures, striking fathers and cheap wine, songs of bygone era’s. In the meantime we were compiling what we thought were Charlie’s best songs onto one coherent album. After we listened and compiled for a few months it felt like we were in a Charlie Parr song and we had worn holes in the knees of our Levi’s. Times suddenly changed and Charlie’s Blues stomps don’t seem so out of time no more.

Listen to him pick through the instrumental ‘Rooster’ or the striking union tale of ‘Hogkill Blues’ as a son waits in vain for his father come home from a picket.

That was fucking great. I love the Dirty Projectors and they were nearly shown up by their deadly support act. I'd say she sold a bucket-load of her CD.

 

[worthit]

That was fucking rapah! Bagsy the keyboard player. I thought tUnE-YaRds was going to show them up but then they were even deadlier.

You're about two years too late with the bagsy... see the "I have the horn" thread.

 

[old]

Aye, they were both amazing. Didn't expect them to pull off Stillness is the Move so well. What a deadly gig.

Did someone say they have a horn for her or did someone actually bagsy her?
