Saw David Thomas last night (Rocket from the Tombs, Pere Ubu). He's one of the founders of proto-punk/new wave.
It was a "Living Room" series - he's going around the country and playing in someone's living room. There were about 25 people there.
It was a mix of spoken word and songs primarily accompanied by sparse accordion. Occasionally he sang through a telephone :ermm:
It was awesome - a truly one of a kind show. It was a cross between Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart and William S. Burroughs.
This is one of the tunes he did last night - it was just him sitting behind a desk.
