• Interview - Glenn Kotche (via SFist)

Glenn Kotche, my old pal who played drums on Wonder Wonder, got featured in the Chicago Reader music section this week.  Attaboy Glenn!!  He’s a superstar, no doubt about it.  So, the story explains in detail how I taught him everything he knows, and also touches upon how I introduced him to everyone he’s ever met.  (heeheehee!!)

Oh YAY… I’ve had a kinda shitty week but now it looks like a lot of my worries about the tour have solved themselves. Ryan Hembrey (the upright bassist from Pinetop Seven) is going to do the shows with me, and we’re going to use his car! I’m SO relieved. I was not featuring the idea of doing all that driving, playing the shows and trying to find places to stay, all by myself. (Nobody that I’d normally play with can do it this time; Mike Krassner can’t get off work, Joe Ferguson’s about to get married and Glenn Kotche’s out on tour with Bird Dog. And Mike Daly still lives in New York!) So, yeah, it’ll be great, just me and my guitar and Ryan with his upright… I can’t wait! I made a tape of my demos for him to listen to in the next few weeks, and we’ll get in as many rehearsals as we can.

Oh yeah, I took down my "what’s new" page… this here diary covers that terrain well enough.

Played at Lounge Ax with Smog and USA

My band: Mike Daly (guitar); Jim O’Rourke (guitar); Michael Krassner (keyboards); Joe Ferguson (bass); Glenn Kotche (drums)
