repost from hanson group

"I turned up early to catch Kan Mikami when Richard Youngs came on and played bass and the drummer from scatter played uh, drums. Then this thin guy dressed in black with a hat ambles onstage. He played a surprisingly expensive looking fender semi acoustic with no soundhole. once he started playing I thought "who is this prick ripping off Jandek?" There was no mistaking the vocals and guitar playing, but I couldn't take it in that it was really him. I was sitting beside some reviewer guy from the Wire who confirmed it. He also said that he only agreed to do it if it wasn't announced. The band really rocked, they had a loose groove going most of the time. Jandek sang "lets get wild" on one song and they crowd at the front were digging it. I'm quite sure 90% of people hadn't a clue. The Janster smiled after two songs so i cheered louder hoping he'd get a taste of adulation. Then i was afraid he'd freak out. I can honestly say he was enjoying himself and was totally at home on stage. He also sang about doing his washing in a deadpan way. And about a five year old girl who broke his heart. There was no in between song banter--surprise, surprise. It was simply a great gig even if it took a couple of songs to get into it. I'm sorry I can't describe it more, but I'm honestly still in shock and my brain is addled by beer and all the other amazing music I heard today. I know some of you won't beleive this until the Wire or something comes out, but i just had to tell people. Good night,
Gavin"

got me kinda giddy about jandek again.

― brock (brock), Monday, 18 October 2004 13:07 (twenty-one years ago)

im skeptical -- where was this at?

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Glasgow.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

why the fuck would jandek be in glasgow? me thinks not.

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah but why wouldn't he? Jandek works in mysterious ways.

again from the hanson group

Roach just forewarded me this.....
----------------------

This is David Tibet from Current 93, who played on the Saturday night at the
Instal
festival.

I can absolutely confirm it was JANDEK live at 5pm on Sunday 17th at the Instal
Festival
put on by Barry Esson.

He played for an hour with Richard Youngs on bass and Alex Neilsen on drums.

The whole show came about after 7 months of secret negotiations and was done on
the
basis that Jandek's name was not used in ANY of the publicity at ANY time.

It was absolutely amazing--JANDEK was happy and relaxed and looked great and as
Godlike as it comes.

Watch this space... JANDEK is on the loose and he is HUNGRY!!!!!!!

godislove

I don't like Jandek.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 18 October 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

bad for your stomach?

― Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 18 October 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

and my brain.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 18 October 2004 22:41 (twenty-one years ago)

adam, everyone must like jandek, and charalambides, because it adds to the very minimal glory of my hometown. it's all we have don't you see?!?!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 00:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I am still in shock that people actually like Jandek.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

oddly enough... i've never heard jandek. i've never really had a desire either. i dunno. i've done my time with loner guitar dudez.

― msp (msp), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

that's not a very nice thing to say msp, i play keyboards too.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 9 May 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

interesting.

― Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 9 May 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

This will be Jandek’s third ever performance and only the second one to be officially announced.

the only jandek I have ever heard is a recording of the instal thing. maybe I should go, to this, anyway, for fun!

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i've heard discussion about this elsewhere. that's part of that two day thingy...

jandek's also playing the 22nd.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

someone please throw a pie at jandek. pretty please. i will give you so much love.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Jandek has finally appeared, only to reveal himself as some sort of Anglophile only playing in Britain. How sad. Gimme the pie. I will fly there and do it.

― Leonard Thompson (Grodd), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

hell yeah

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 21 September 2006 04:23 (nineteen years ago)

did you see him in chicago?
LUCKY!

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 04:41 (nineteen years ago)

or are you not in chicago?
where is jaymc when you need him?

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 04:42 (nineteen years ago)

jaymc is not at the jandek concert because he's whack.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 05:07 (nineteen years ago)

I MEANT JAYMC SHOULD TELL ME IF STORMY LIVES IN CHICAGO DUH

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 05:10 (nineteen years ago)

jaymc has a database, you have two stones and a stick.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

yes I saw THE MAN in Chicago. it was pretty strange to say the least (not the music itself, just the feeling of seeing him in the flesh after all this time)

the backing band was .. get this -- John McEntire and Josh Abrams! hstencil you would have been in seventh heaven

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 21 September 2006 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

you should've been at the big horse instead. i heard jandek played for 1.5 hours and it was described to me as "almost metal. but kind of classical?" which made me think of the edgar winter group.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 September 2006 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

ohhhh mannnnn stormy that sounds so awesome! also the big horse show sounds different but equally awesome. why no ny dates :(

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

oooh, no you misunderstand. different show with other bands at the big horse lounge (a bar in chicago that is only accessible by walking through a taqueria).

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 September 2006 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

oh hahahaha. cuase you know, jandek mixes it up sometimes. also, i didn't realize you were also chicago (though i should have i think, but again, i'm no jaymc)!

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

jandek doesn't do dates per se, just one-off shows. i missed him when he was here earlier in the year.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

i know it's not like a "tour" but he does have a list of dates. it's not all completely random.

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

actually, it is pretty random. my friend nick played with him in austin. he gets different pick-up artists for each show, and everything involving the shows is completely on his terms.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

h, how did nick get in touch with him?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

the show promoter suggested nick as well as other austin musicians. since nick's favorite dude ever is probably jandek, it was an awesome thing to be asked to do! i still haven't heard the performance yet, tho it'll probably come out fairly soon.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

that's cool. i guess i was hoping that jandek was a fan of the WW.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think nick even got to talk to him! so i dunno if jandek's heard ww. b!ll call@han has, tho, and is a big fan.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

yes clearly each show varies. but the fact remains that there is a list of dates he is playing in existence. yes, things are subject to change, but it is not random to have already booked a show in oct and one in dec.

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

yes, he plays shows.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

stop being a fucking douche.

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

i'm not!?!?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

what do you call disagreeing with everything i say?
i thought you quit noise board. go away again.

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

i wasn't disagreeing with you. take one chill pill.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:02 (nineteen years ago)
