Nice to get back to The Nightwatch after having the last show off (Many thanks to Bijon from the Mind Melt for the fill-in), I'm ready to go with reg'lar rock, post-rock, pre-rock.... a bunch of things.
Starting out this Nightwatch with a rarity - an interview. Local surrealist-folk-rock maestros The Fays have a new album out... and, while I did play a few tracks from it last month, I have lead-man James in the Studio for a few words, so it's time to play a few more, and urge people to check them out at the benefit at Zaphod's Apr. 24th!. |

Now to a 2-song feature. Yes, it's a many-storied LP, may not need another celebration... but I managed to get my hands on the re-issue of Glenn Branca's 1980 LP 'The Ascension' at the latest Record Con - one of those LPs that the current music scene wouldn't be the same without! |
