I imagine it must have been pretty epic.
More pictures of that night here:

Yeah, It was a bugger that all this info disappeared when the official website changed in 2005 (I think). I was really happy to see that Catherine Lewis brought back all of that valuable information not too long ago, and by the look of things, she might have the intention of adding even more stuff sometime in the future.

I know Jeroen had some problems to get in touch with the band: His e-mails he sent to Alan in regards to his intentions about that show in Utrecht had not gotten a reply just a few days prior to Low's visit to The Netherlands in November. The band was on tour at the time, so maybe that's the reason why. I never knew for sure what happened, but I sort of came to the conclusion that it wouldn't materialize (probably due to the fact that I am a hopeless pessimist most of the time), and never asked Jeroen about it, until just now after seeing your post (I have sent him a message on facebook, hopefully he'll reply).

No matter if you actually torrent that one or not (although I'd be interested in it despite whatever flaws it might have), my gratefulness to you for all your efforts in regards to document through taping and distributing live recordings of Low and Retribution Gospel Choir especially, doesn't have any boundaries. I'd love to see them one day, but meanwhile, I do appreciate every live recording I can get my paws on, even if they are possibly just a vague representation of the live awesomeness (I certainly wish there were more in circulation).

Alan and Steve are helping him recording his solo album, check the twit pics (dated Feb 1)
I hope you don't mind that I'm copying some of your news flashes directly to Low's mailing list, adding the tag "sponsored by Sonic Youth Gossip" :-D
(insert some of those :notworthy: smilies here) |
Yeah, I am aware of Actual Wolf and look forward to the record. I've been checking out his youtube channel constantly. Twitter not so much, as I don't have an account. I also keep track of his posts on facemook. Actual Wolf is going to be on The Playlist next week in case you are unaware (though it seems both of us aren't lucky to have a chance to watch this due to our respective locations in the planet), here's info stolen from his facebook, posted just yesterday:
Heading up to La Casa Del Sparhawk to record two new tunes for the Actual Wolf Band EP. "Turning 25" and "Cry, Cry, Cry"... Also, excited to start rehearsing that group next week in Minneapolis. YEAH!!!! Just a few reminders... I'll be playing on The Playlist Thursday February 9th @ 9pm. Then I'll be playing the Thirsty Pagan Solo on Friday February !0th. I'll be posting it in events this week. Can't wait to play with The Cavalier Crooks on Saturday at The Beat Coffeehouse in Uptown. It's an All Ages Show and it starts at 7:00pm. Proceeds from the show will help The Crooks to help fund their new recording. Please come out and support live local music.
The Cavalier Crooks, the band mentioned by him in that post, has an EP available on bandcamp:
http://thecavaliercrooks.bandcamp.com/
Both The Cavalier Crooks and Actual Wolf are booked to open for Retribution Gospel Choir at Turf Club in St. Paul, MN, on February 18th (I would hope that were the first of many shows with the three acts on the bill, that'd be awesome):

By the way, I would be crazy if I'd mind that you copy from here and then paste some of my posts over there. It actually makes me very happy that the information gets to reach more people that might find it relevant. And in any case, I'm not the source anyway.
