didn't go, but last week they played chicks hotel (along with bill direen) with gutteridge & martin phillips sitting in on a few numbers. sort of regretting not going now cause sounds like it was an excellent show...

Been revisiting the DK & Heavy Eights recently. So much confidence. I think one big change for me, now, is that I don't enjoy the second, long half of "Diggin for Gold," the big heavy Les Paul workout that takes it to the end. I never minded back then, but now I could listen to the first part of the song on repeat at length and be happy. But it is a big heavy guitar workout album. In the day, I kind of overlooked "Waveboarder," but now it's the thing I replay most often.

You near Port Chalmers? IIRC they're playing at the final night of Chicks Hotel tonight ...

nah, i'm up the top end of n.e.v. seems they were taking part in a community event for spreading knowledge about lindsay's creek & environs :-D
when i first heard the guitar i initially thought it was coming from a practicing neighbour copping kilgour's sound... then the rest of the band came in
& yes, closing of chicks tonight but tickets were $$$ + i imagine it's gonna be seriously packed in there, so :-/

Show in SF cancelled due to family illness, Stephen Malkmus playing (Spiral Stairs 50th bday) instead.

that makes me want to try surfin'. great song, kilgour is really one of the largely unrecognized greats.

I'm actually quite taken with the two departures from his usual sound - the piano/Cloudboy vibes in "Swan Loop", and the Billy TK scorch of "Ngapara".

He's never made a bad record. Or even come close to one.

"I’m so glad to have completed this piano piece, it’s been hanging around in raw form for about 7 years and I always forget about it. .....and just like that it’s completed and out! Woo hoo!.....it's possibly my last statement on my obsession with minor chords and maj 7th chords."
