In this version of NFTU we're reviewing some of the latest singles from Driving By The Night, Go:Audio, The Penny Black Remedy & Walk. Don't Walk. - anddd we have an EP courtesy of Ono Palindromes to review amongst the singles. Driving By Night - Promise In Youth (Dental Records) The thing with bands that are so brilliant as live acts is that they can't transform the magic onto a CD, so as I read the horrahs of Irish outfit DBN's live work (which includes a sell out show [...]
(Day 3 begins here ) DAY 3 (continued) 7. Portastatic Portastatic is the prolific side project of Mac McCaughan, whom you may also know as one of the main guys in Superchunk. I'd heard of them from that but more so because my dear friend Margaret White , fiddle-player extraordinaire and all around great dame, played fiddle for them over the years (and Cat Power...and The Comas...and 66489685 other bands).
