Very strange after being on freakscene all day I left work and walked towards the subway and saw J coming out of foot locker. He will be playing a show tomorrow as a guest at Tonic. Check their website for details. http://www.tonicnyc.com

Tomorrow’s Friend:
The Wounded Knees: With special guest J. Mascis.
Secret Machines: The Secret Machines posses a breadth of vision in their songwriting which is profoundly rare. The music unfurls sprawling landscapes where splashes of organ and shards of reverbed guitars lead the listener down a trippy path. Yet if at first the Secret Machine¹s disposition is calm and reserved, it later expands, layer by layer, until their musical terrain becomes laden with colorful melodies, counter harmonies and coyly poignant lyrics.
wow, what a coincidence …

it’s great." … J Mascis, Hot Press, 4 Dec 2002.but did his shoes look new????
I have been grooving on this edit thing, I am such a GEMINI.
Was anyone out there, there? OK you are just waking up right, it is 1:30 pm on Sunday, ring,ring, time to get up. What I would like to know if anyone can tell me, what is this club that is on Rivington Street. In the early 80’s we use to score a lot of dope down there and there were NO clubs, well there were a lot of $10. hookers hanging around grooming themselves and perhaps they had a club. Please tell me, has this area been ummm upgraded? Rivington Street, GOODGOD, I have got to go back to NYC just to see this.Thought that name looked familiar…The Wounded Knees :aliensmile:
Cool song, pleasing they added an mp3…
Looking forward to a summary of the show
So I went down to the show and I didn’t know it was Jimi Shields band. It was weird an old friend was there and I started talking to her and she couldn’t remember me and eventualy she did and I started talking to her about J because I thought thats why she was there but she didn’t even know he was playing. She was there to see the secret machines who I have heard alot about but couldn’t stick around to see. Anyway Wounded Knees played a few songs and then J came up and played with a lovetone brown source and an ad-9 delay with a pink jazzmaster. He played three songs. The middle one was awesome. It was very celtic music. Accoustic guitar, vocals, drums, flute and J playing like a 6 minute solo. It was a different style though, more soundscape than usual. I have heard J play 2 styles before, Dino style and Stooges style but this was a bit different. The song was more repetitive so it was going up and down like a dino solo he just kept it steady and his fingers were moving rediculously fast. Afterwards they played in a jar on the house speakers. I went around the corner to catch my friend at another show and heard an amazing tabla player. His fingers were going at lighting speed. I wish J had come to that show and played along because the bands guitar player was useless. Anyway all and all a great night of music in NYC.
Yes Rivington has been upgraded. The whole area has tons of new venues. The lower east side has been developing alot in the last ten years. It is still sketchy but rent over there is like 1400 for a small one bedroom. Tonic is pretty cool. It usually has kinda new age type music.
Wow, I can’t wait to see all of that someday. I lived for many years at the corner of 1st Ave. and 7th street. Up above the Internationl Bar, My lover at the corner of of C. and something, that area was wild. We both now live in the woods, he in Canada me in the South. I have a good friend from NYC, who still lives on the lower east side, he visits us once a year and it takes him like two days to relax into the woods, we have owls that hoot, frogs that croak, and the birds in the summer start at about 5:40. "Please make it stop" he yells. We don’t have J walking out of the shoe store, too bad. Sounds like a fun, fun, night!!!!
hey ammaringnyc, big thanks for the very ineresting descrptions
…sounds like it would be lovely to see the Wounded Knees play — especially
together with J
