The New York Times scooped the blogs late last week when they reported that Yo La Tengo will perform the final “Pool Party” at the McCarren Pool on August 24. This gig appeared on the Yo La Tengo tour page yesterday.
Today a new gig appeared on the Maxwell’s page. On Friday, September 5, Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley (2/3 of YLT) will perform at Maxwell’s. While technically not a specific YLT gig, this event is a benefit for Terry Karydes who played bass long ago for YLT, but is better known for her work with The Schramms. The benefit also features Glenn Mercer of the Feelies, Dave Schramm and drummer Dave Metz (Human Switchboard, Schramms).
We are in the process of obtaining permission for nyctaper recordings of both of these gigs. Stay tuned.
Great news, YLT are obviously very taper friendly, as you know. Looking forward to your capturing these shows. :)
Any news on these? Would love to hear them.
Sorry, no. I didn’t make it to either, despite having purchased a ticket to the second event. I did however also manage to nab a ticket to this upcoming YLT show:
