I thought I was writing about the weekend Billy and I were engaged, it was in Santa Barbara, we were living in LA. It's a song about getting poor and having to wear day glo clothes but still sink in to the background. What's your favourite song off the new album? So it was a bit of a science project to try and recreate it, and I'm not sure if that's really what we should be doing. That said, the overdubs had to balance that out, the overdubs are incredibly idiosyncratic, bizarre timings, layered sound approaches that are difficult to recreate live. But I had to serve the songs and so necessarily the production reflected this strident quality - big and clear. This was very strident, all played to a click which is unusual for me because my counts are usually more in the 3/16. This record is, it's not more intricate but it's unusual for me in that I'm usually attracted to more fluid timing, more messy fragile fucked up acoustic stuff. Īre you enjoying playing the new material in public? Is it the first time you've done that?
Kristen hersh put me in that box plus#
Plus we don't actually know the songs yet. They don't even know the record so it's different, it's not really a tour. It was a preview show though, mostly for journalists and psycho fans. But last week's show at the Arts Theatre wasn't very fake. Yeah! So it's these, you know, fake shows.
I'm about to start the US promo tour in a couple of days and that's a month and a half - the US is really big! I haven't had any shows really because it's a promo tour. We had quite a chat.įirst of all how are you, how are the shows going, are you enjoying yourself? I reviewed Kristin Hersh's spellbinding album preview show at the Arts Theatre last time and on Tuesday night I got the opportunity not only to watch her perform a powerful acoustic set with The McCarricks but to meet her in person.
