Hey!! We’re in L.A. I re-read what I wrote before and I can’t believe I admitted I’m an Audiogalaxy addict!!! I have a big fucking mouth.
Tour’s going great, except I caught a cold. Seems like I never get sick when I’m at home, just on tour. The guys are telling me I’m snoring like a buzzsaw and coughing and sputtering all night… they all have earplugs but I still feel guilty for being the loud one every night.
Played at Spaceland with Central Falls and Sarah Dougher opening
My band: Jim Becker (guitar, violin, keyboards), Ryan Hembrey (electric bass, backing vocals), Adam Vida (drums)
A show preview by John Payne which appeared in the April 19-25, 2002 issue of L.A. Weekly. It’s previewing the show at Spaceland on Sunday the 21st.
Edith Frost gives new hope for those seeking that kind of introspective, country-tinged singer-songwriter stuff but who’re bored to tears with the way it sounds. Over the course of a few generally excellent Drag City albums, Frost has taken the form and given it goose, working with your all-stars of the post-rock scene including Royal Trux, Gastr del Sol, Eleventh Dream Day and High Llamas, and with producer* Steve Albini on the recent WONDER WONDER. A singer of subtly ironic affect, Frost skews her downbeatish songs with unusual chord progressions and idiosyncratic instrumental touches like subdued keyboard shards or her favored jaunty clarinets, which lends an inviting ambiguity to the jaded tone she uses to convey her rather personal heartbreak stories.
* Actually, Rian Murphy produced the album; Steve Albini engineered it.
Played at Spaceland with Lullaby For The Working Class and King Radio
My band: Ryan Hembrey (bass, guitar), Jason Adasiewicz (drums, glockenspiel), Mike Mogis (pedal steel), Shane Aspegren (percussion), Ted Stevens (harmonica)
A review by Michael Jolly that appeared in Entertainment Today (Los Angeles, CA)…
With her forbidding, Victorian-sounding name and haunting songs, it’s tempting to romanticize Drag City songstress Edith Frost as some sort of distant, enigmatic poet; yet a visit to her homemade webpage reveals a warm, disarming person who really wants to share her songs with the public. Regardless of her ersonality, she continues to weave an enchanting musical tapestry with her latest album, Telescopic.
