one of the more memorable live acts i've seen...he opened as Crooked Fingers for the Delgados last year in boston. we got there when he had already started, so i'm not sure if it was a PA problem or not, but he stepped off the stage w/ his guitar, stood on the floor w/ the punters, and totally unamplified played and sang his entire set. was augmented a couple times by a female singer. it was pretty cool.jdschall said:
you ever catch David Yow (scratch acid, jesus lizard)? that dude was spooky.jdschall said:
Interesting you mentioned John Cale and Leonard Cohen next to each other, the only thing I've ever heard from either of them was the same song, "Hallelujah"narlus said:
Cale's got quite an extensive solo career once he left the velvets. _Paris 1919_ is a great record. he's touring now; i plan on seeing him later this month.Echo said:Interesting you mentioned John Cale and Leonard Cohen next to each other, the only thing I've ever heard from either of them was the same song, "Hallelujah"

never got to see which is one of my big regrets. a group of us sent one of our mates to see FNM and Prodigy on a double bill in Sydney when we were back in year 10. That would have been a sweet show.jdschall said:

Saw Jesus Lizard in '96 at the Big Day Out in Perth. Hot summers day, they played early around 2. Managed to get right near the front as they were the band I mainly wanted to see. The set starts and the first thing he does is take a running jump into the crowd (must have been at least 3 metres between the stage and the crowd barrier) and proceeds to sing the first song upside down while crowd surfing. Security just about had a sh*t fit. My abiding memory is passing him over head while he has a death grip on the mic screaming his lungs out. Still the best gig I've ever seen.
1st time i ever saw them was @ TTs, which is a pretty small club in cambridge. when he came out, there was a definite sense of danger and unpredictability, very similar to the early buttholes shows i saw...jdschall said:
Fight Songs is definitely one of my favorite albumsjacksonpt said:
I remember Ron Hitler Barassi doing the same thing at a Melbourne BDO show. I think it was while doing Ol' Man River; audience stripped him butt naked, mask and all, security pulled him out, he went off-stage and was back in 45 seconds fully suited up again and played a wicked set.valve bouncer said:David Yow
Was probably the same year. TISM played in '96. Nick Cave, Radio Birdman too among others...pretty good line up.Bjern Fita said:

He's great, maybe a better songwriter than singer. I really like Garfunkel's voice too
