I feel like everyone I know is talking about this incessantly, but whatever, it’s exciting. Do you remember when the Spells EP came out and it was the world’s most perfect 8-or-so-minute long 4 song recording in existence?
Now there is Wild Flag, a new band with members Mary Timony, Janet Weiss, Rebecca Cole and Carrie Brownstein.
Some people are musical soulmates and meant to play together. I occasionally feel this way about people I play with, too. There’s just this sick and twisted magic that comes out of the combination of Mary Timony and Carrie Brownstein and I want to hear more forever and ever. Usually I am on the wrong coast for stuff I care about these days, but I lucked out this time – Wild Flag’s first tour dates all occur out here in the West Coast bubble:
Nov 10 Olympia, WA The Northern
Nov 12 Seattle, WA High Dive
Nov 13 Portland, OR Doug Fir
Nov 17 Sacaramento, CA The Hub
Nov 18 San Francisco, CA Bottom of the Hill
Nov 19 Los Angeles, CA Spaceland
Nov 20 San Diego, CA Casbah
Nov 21 Pomona, CA Aladdins
Wild Flag’s first album comes out in 2011 on Merge Records.
