The Brian Turner Show

brianturnershow.com, eastvillageradio.com
Richard Langston, author of the new Clean biography In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, joins The Brian Turner Show. The two will be chatting extensively about this brilliant band’s 1978-2016 life, which was punctuated by periods on inactivity but inevitably continual returns that netted them deep and dedicated international fandom. Founded by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, initial rotating lineups traversed their New Zealand homeland with budget tours, met with degrees of alienation from the established Auckland punk scene. Their psychedelic pastiche contained deep love of Barrett, The Beatles, Velvets, Hendrix, and Arthur Lee, which showed in their rudimentary DIY ethic; a heady formula out of fashionable step and thus triggering retreat back to their Dunedin hometown. However,  surprise success of their first single hitting the top 20 trigged a great leap forward for not only the Kilgours (now joined by future Bats founder Robert Scott), but a newfound communal scene in The Clean’s wake that launched not only the Flying Nun label but a score of kindred spirit groups. They eventually achieved notoriety internationally despite periods of pause, and massively influenced a big slab of American indie rock units as well. Langston chronicles the great heights of this band live and on record with dutiful shoutouts to those in their circles who helped elevate them. We’ll be playing a bunch of live Clean tracks as well.

Pull yourself up to the First Avenue booth on Wednesday, April 8th at 5pm during Brian Turner’s 4-6pm show as he welcomes local musical mensches Marija Kovačević & Rob Mayson for a live session at EVR’s studio. Respectively armed with broken violins and a mic’d squawking drumstool, the duo will explore the ritualistic, improvisational worlds of sonic decay with raw, acoustic-based, and quite physical presentation amidst the live environs of the East Village itself. Serbian-born Kovačević has travelled the world conducting her minimalistic broken violin performances in numerous locales, Mayson has been in assorted musical units both in Australia and the USA, and is a stalwart of the live local music scene with his productions at Abasement and Stereo Mandrax. He is also the host of EVR’s Wednesday weekly Vocoder Radio.
