So, Reading Rainbow (somewhat) recently added guitarist Al Creedon to the band, officially making them a trio. Though recorded before Creedon was in the band, this here new track features some Creedon-crafted feedback at the beginning and end of the song. The song is on Reading Rainbow‘s secret split 7″ with Super Wild Horses for the HoZac Hook up Klub. I suggest you put this on repeat.
Reportedly, the band will be selling the HoZac Hook up Klub 7″s during their tour in September (provided you are not a HoZac Hook up Klub 2 member, in which case never you mind).
Amy and Hayley, the Melbourne-based musical duo known as Super Wild Horses sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series.
hayley: Me About You (youtube) by 60′s psych band Gandalf. It’s on of those tunes that could get forgotten on an album but it’s an absolute beauty.
Streamable:
q: What is your favorite beverage?
a: Caipirinhas. I was introduced to these in Brasil a couple of years ago. They became a staple of my diet whilst in Sao Paulo and I wish i could get a decent one here!
a: We were lucky to play with Thee Oh Sees on their recent trip to Australia. We’ve seen them a few times now and they’re a great live band. Eddy Current Suppression Ring have always been mind-blowing. There was a band called The Darling Downs (Kim Slamon and Ron Peno) who were playing in Melbourne a couple of years back and they were wonderful to watch. Ron Peno is such a charismatic frontman and I don’t think I ever heard an audience member making a sound while he held court on stage.
h: I don’t get to see this band as much as I should, but Clairy Browne and The Bangin Rackettes are a killer live band complete with leopard print back up singers, sax and enviable doo wop moves. So much fun.
q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?
a: I’ve only been to NYC once (on our tour there last year) and we played at Death by Audio, a really great venue run by some cool cats. I always wanted to visit the Apollo Theater.
q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
a: There’s a new art museum that’s opened up in Hobart (in Tasmania, the island off the south coast of Australia) called MONA – The Musuem of Old & New Art. I went down for the opening and it’s a really inspirational place, from the architecture to the collection. It’s been funded and opened by a guy with Asperger’s who made his fortune by running a gambling syndicate based on a ‘winning’ numbers formula – he’s made it free to the public and it’s a great thing to have in a small town like Hobart. It gave me faith in humanity to see a guy pour so much much money and energy into something for the people -
h: Kung fu movies. I’ve just been introduced to some amazing films and soundtracks from the 70′s. Lady Snowblood is one of the most stunning films I’ve seen in a long time. Apart from digging up old films I’m also really enjoying a Melbourne artist called Peter Green – in particular his folk inspired sculptures of space men and giant toads wearing sun hats. They look like they’ve been made out of sugar in the most beautiful murky pastel colours. I couldn’t stop myself from going back to his last exhibition and I can’t wait to see what hes going to pull out next.
q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?
a: A split 7″ with Reading Rainbow is out on HoZac pretty soon. A few more collaborations coming out this year and we’re also recording a second album around May in NYC.
