An Oneida show is a fairly rare occurrence these days, an event not to be missed. Such was the case with this Friday night set at Glasslands, which found the band joined by James McNew (of Yo La Tengo and opening act Dump) to perform an unreleased 45+ minute song called “Get Brighter” (nominally an Incredible String Band cover), followed by “Sheets of Easter” to close out the set. “Sheets” reminds me of what a Bruce Nauman installation might sound like as a song, with its harsh, repetitive vocal giving it a claustrophobic feel that teeters on the edge of madness. “Get Brighter”, on the other hand, was a classic, percussive Oneida sprawl, which comprised the bulk of the set and set a new standard, perhaps, for “interpretive” covers. As always, this show both defied and exceeded expectations, cementing Oneida as one of those bands whose shows should always be a standing appointment.
I recorded this set with MBHO microphones at the stage lip, plus a soundboard feed by the Glasslands staff. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!
