You’re always in for a good show with Jeffrey Lewis<\/a>. This time round he was touring with Peter Stampfel who I’d never heard of although, it turns out, I do know a couple of his tunes, more of which later……<\/p>\n

\"wind<\/p>\n

First act was Wind Up Birds<\/a> whos ranting style reminded me of someone but I couldn’t quite put my finger on who. The tune ‘In a Yorkshire call centre I used to weep on my knees’ was a winner.<\/p>\n

\"KXP\"<\/p>\n

Next up was a quite extraordinary electro 3-piece act who provided epic length dance tunes that built up and up and up in a krautrock stylee. I thought they were called KP at first which seemed to fit as they were NUTS but they were actually KXP<\/a> from Helsinki. Would happily see them again and look forward to getting their stuff!<\/p>\n

\"jeffrey<\/p>\n

Jeff and Peter took the stage with Fanic Rozycki (a member of the wonderful Wave Pictures<\/a>) and Jeffs old drummer (I thought I recognised him from another band but after he went through a huge list of bands who I’d never heard of let alone seen, we decided it must have been with Jeff). After a dodgy first tune, where just for a minute I thought Mr Lewis might have lost his midas touch, the band rose to the occasion. There was obviously a lot of mutual love and respect on stage that shone through. Jeff: “Some folk songs are around so long that other folk singers improve them” Peter “They get around so much they end up with STD’s and herpes” Funny as anything<\/a><\/p>\n

\"jeffrey<\/p>\n

Jeff told stories of how he first heard Peters band ‘The Holy Modal Rounders<\/a>‘ on a late night psychedelic radio show and how Peter was the first person to us the word psychedelic in a song. They had us laughing with Stick your ass in the air<\/a> and ruminating on the nature of time as well as grooving to ‘Surfin Bird’ – AWESOME! There was Jeffs continuing story of the fall of the Russian empire and a song about Peters bottle tops collection with accompanying scanned in images of some great examples<\/p>\n

\"jef\"<\/p>\n

The songs that i knew were ‘Griselda’ which Yo La Tengo covered on the wonderful ‘Fakebook<\/a>‘ (which, looking at the liner notes, features Peter Stampfel on another track ‘The one to cry’) and a track off the Easy Rider Soundtrack<\/a>, a film which Peter mightily slagged off! They played for a good two hours including an encore “The Cribs say ‘we don’t play encores cos we’re not wankers’ (in a remarkable accurate accent) but I guess I am<\/em> a wanker….sometimes”.<\/p>\n

Three wonderfully different acts. One amazing evening Thanks to all involved.<\/p>\n
