The Dead C are coming to town

Submitted by stephen clover on Wednesday, 28 Mar 2007.
I wouldn't wanna put money on it or anything, but I'm pretty sure that the last time legendary NZ noise-rockers The Dead C (wikipedia) played in Wellington was when they supported Sonic Youth on their Dirty tour in 1993. And to be frank, with an utterly transcendant performance in the face of much tribulation, mopped the floor with them.
Now they're playing at the City Gallery on Saturday night. It's free. What the hell else do you need to know?

City Gallery Wellington is proud to present The Dead C. These noise/rock heroes who have most recently played in the UK at Thurston Moore's All Tomorrow's Parties festival will perform in the Gallery. Support from local band Thought Creature. Gallery opens at 7. Music starts 8. Be sure to make it to this unique performance.

Here's a (reasonably famous) video of The Dead C on now-defunct Friday-nite music show Ground Zero in 1999, playing Sky (off what some claim to be their greatest album, Harsh 70s Reality) and talking about Suicide with the hosts:

I think Dead C member Michael Morley also has some work in the Gallery's current Prospect show.

I still need to get some Dead C. I should buy the comp sometime. Sky is the only song I've heard. And some Gate. I was introduced to Gate years ago before I ever heard about Dead C and really liked what I listened to (metric).

IS THAT A YES?????????????

the litany of answers includes: sending it to someone who will enjoy it more than i do (not that i don't), paying bills, minimizing my music collection, trading CDs for books, etc etc...

i'm not sure if you should get your hopes up too high... Siltbreeze has reissued it twice and still have it in stock:

Harsh 70s Reality has been reissued too last year I think, that does effect the price of the oiriginal releases (the original 2LP release will still be valuable though)

Toilet & Bowels · 04.02.2007, 06:17 PM

yeah, the lp has an extra track so i've been holding off from buying the CD, the vinyl comes up on ebay fairly often and isn't prohibitivly expensive
