Henry Cow This Sunday on KPFA


On Sunday, April 26th, from 10pm to 1am, Emergency Circus presents a brief review of Henry Cow 40th Anniversary Box Set. I'll be playing material off of each of the CDs, so we'll be hearing excerpts of their entire career in only three hours. Thankfully, vol. 6 - Stockholm & Gotebourg was pre-shipped, and I've played a lot of it on the show before, so it will require only a minimal revisit.

From my first run through the set, I can assure you there is some astounding material to be heard from every line up. There are songs recorded in 1977 that were later released by the Art Bears, as well as instrumental compositions that were never released, and in one case, never titled.

Listen this sunday at kpfa.org, and hear the founders of the Rock in Opposition movement in its naissance, its prime, and its golden years.
