Three songs from the upcoming Ed Ackerson solo album are now streaming on his blog.
Wired Weird" and "Little White Lie" -- two hooky pieces of pop perfection -- are joined by "Waste of Time," a beautiful, moody soundscape that suggests what Paul Simon might have sounded like circa 1985 if he had gone to Manchester for inspiration instead of Soweto.
In other "Ed news"…
The backing band for Ed's set at the upcoming Sussed-tacular extravaganza at the Varsity theater in Mpls on Nov. 23 will be:
Peter Anderson - drums
Marc Perlman - bass
Tim Oesau - keyboards
and special guest Eric Lovold from The Alarmists on guitar and vocals.
Ed reports that initial rehearsals with Eric have been excellent and that all systems are GO for the Varsity show.
Also, speaking of the Varsity show, Strange Lights have been added to the bill. This new Minneapolis band -- a love child of freak-rock bands Bridge Club and First Communion After Party -- meld the transportive power of Spiritualized or the Verve with the teeth of vintage MC5 or Hawkwind.
