THE AUTUMN DEFENSE (two members of WILCO) + PLUSH (Liam Hayes) Sunday 7th September @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff
The Autumn Defense is a collaboration between Wilco/Uncle Tupelo bassist John Stirratt and Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone who has also produced records for the likes of Andrew Bird and Joseph Arthur. They have released 3 albums of beautifully arranged, organic, wispy folk-rock and singer-songwriter musings.
"Comfort music for the soul...” UNCUT **** "never less than utterly gorgeous" THE WORD "reference points include Nick Drake and CSN, Bread, Big Star and the essence of Love, Steely Dan and a dozen others" MOJO **** "edifying and beautifully textured" DAILY MIRROR **** "soft rock at it's most elegant." TIME OUT "Soft, dreamy and bittersweet” WASHINGTON POST "Warming, gorgeous and delightful” DAVID FRICKE, SENIOR EDITOR, ROLLING STONE
Liam Hayes appeared as himself in High Fidelity and his band Plush's long lost masterpiece 'Fed' is currently receiving rave reviews across the music press including 5/5 in Uncut, 4/5 in Mojo, Q, Plan B, NME 8/10 etc. A regular collaborator, he has also worked with Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), appearing on keyboards across the Palace era output, and also played on records by Royal Trux.
"Fed is beautifully excessive, ornamented with dazzling soul/pop arrangements. And the songs are glorious..." UNCUT ***** "A banquet of sonic gorgeousness" NME 8/10 "Fed is something of a lost classic" MOJO **** "Fed can be finally heard as a testament to Hayes's widescreen obsessions" Q **** "Perfect takes time" PLAN B “a soulful symphonic masterpiece” ROLLING STONE

Hi Jon I know how much you like Kevin Coyne videos - well I've just posted 3 on the site which together make up a 1977 live concert he did with the In Living Black and White band. It starts off funny as the TV valves heat up - its that old - but settles down to a great show. Tony

Sassy was being very worried as she gets like that as she had not heard from you, but I saw your mam and she said you were off in Florida wiv Duffy (is it true she is recording "Llamas In Llanyrafon"?)
