this is the only live video i know of my band, Our Favorite Band.
It showcases co-founder, Donald At MotiveArt, Andy McLenon on bass, Grady Pinkerton
on tinny Telecaster and original 10-drummers, Matt Wilson.
it is a
pristine version of what would be an ever-changing band--this time
opening for Jason and the Scorchers: (Dylan's) Absolutely sweet marie (i'm playing Farmer Jason's acoustic guitar and apologize for being on what seem like housewife diet pills).
It also features Jeff Johnson doing some punk dancing to The Gun Club and Jeffrey Lee Pierce's
'Love of Ivy'.
The Jack Emerson listed boldly in the title is our dear
friend and upstart president of Praxis Records of Nashville, TN, who
released our first E.P. first as 001 in 1981 and then went on to gain
fame with real touring bands such as the Scorchers, The Georgia Satellites
and many others, until his untimely death, but only after turning
Praxis into a rock force with a stable of classic artists that confused
Nashville to its core (i just wish he had signed R Stevie Moore--but Patrick did--Patrick from Paris knew more about American underground music than anyone else).
James Barber jumped in to release our first LP in 1985 on Big Time Records, and Patrick Mathe released an import on New Rose, where we shared a familiar stable with Tav Falco
and Alex Chilton.
i don't think there's anyone else to tag, so i think
this post is good.
Oh, our favorite players after this period included,
Ross Johnson, Doug Easley and Peter Nicholas Hyrka, just to name a few.
