We are having more live clips coming soon as well as a couple videos. In the meantime, we are revisiting our album release show at Bottom of the Hill.
The first part is a medley of:
“The First Waltz”
“All these Birds in my Hair”
“The Snapping Sound”
Taking the city by storm! Vamos Gigantes!
Talking Heads : “This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)”
Quite possibly my favorite song of all time.
“And, of course, that is what all of this is - all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs - that song, endlesly reincarnated - born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket ‘88’, that Buick 6 - same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness.”
“This is by far the most vivid, intense, and confident work to come out of the Bay Area in quite some time. il gato have begun their journey outside of the Bay Area and are ready to impress and enthrall. We wish them luck.”
Yo !
