Hey, admittedly I didn't look very hard, but I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else, so:
Dave Phillips will be touring as guitarist in Robert Pollard's (formerly of Guided by Voices) touring band starting in Jan. 2006. The full lineup is Bob singing, Dave on guitar, Jason Narducy (ex-Verbow) on bass, Tommy Keene on gtr/keys, and Jon Wurster (of the mighty Superchunk) on drums.
Hopefully no old-timers are still smarting from my long ago attempts to convert the AbstractPlain list into a full-time GbV board, but this is tangentially Frank related. Anyone who knows me knows that Frank and Bob are the twin quasars of my rock universe, so I think this is really cool. |

hey, here's another fan, I came here as soon as I saw the news on the Strong Lions mailgroup, but you'd beaten me to it!
Great news, would die to go to a pollard show!

I would like to reassert my DTS claim that A Crick Uphill would rock live with Dave P on pedal steel.
and you are ill prepared to fight
living in a world of soft and white
in air conditioned battle zones
I pity you!

That's great news. Does Bob Pollard ever tour Europe? I don't think I've ever heard of him playing in Paris.

I was just taking a dig at Sting. From Sting's website, http://www.sting.com/news/news.php?uid=3651
07.04.05 Introducing Lyle Workman...
Lyle Workman
Lyle Workman debuts on guitar for Sting at Live 8
Sting's set at Live8 was memorable for several reasons, one of which was the unveiling of a new line-up. The set saw the introduction of guitarist Lyle Workman. Sting fans already know about Dominic and Josh but Lyle will be a new name to most Sting fans.
Lyle was born and raised in San Jose, California and began playing guitar as a child. In college an interest in blues, jazz and classical forms together with studies of music theory and composition led to him playing in a variety of local bands. Lyle was a member of Bourgeois Tagg who recorded two albums including one produced by Todd Rundgren. When Bourgeois Tagg disbanded in 1989, Lyle recorded and toured as part of Rundgren's band. His first solo project 'Purple Passages' was dubbed "possibly the best guitar album of the year" by Guitar Shop Magazine. Lyle later played guitar with Jellyfish on their excellent 'Spilt Milk' album before hooking up with ex-Pixies frontman Frank Black recording ' Teenager of the Year' and touring extensively with Frank Black and the Catholics in 1998.
Lyle later worked with jazz great Tony Williams and completed a second solo instrumental album entitled 'Tabula Rasa'. His most recent touring work has been with Beck with whom he played from November 1999 to August 2001. As a film composer, Lyle has written music for "Made", Kicking and Screaming", and "The 40 Year old Virgin".
For more information on Lyle check out his website.

| Reminds me of a funny interview of Branford Marsalis (sp?) and Harry Connick, Jr. I recently heard on Fresh Air. They grew up together (Branford's dad taught Connick how to play piano) and Harry said that the worst day (worse than Katrina hitting N.O.) was when he heard Branford was going off to play with Sting. |

Speaking of Dave Phillips, dime-a-dozen has an fresh upload of Perfect (Tommy Stinson), featuring Dave. This is a recording by Mark Persic, who has posted what must be fifty 80s & 90s alt-rock recordings of his, mostly from the SF & LA areas. They are consistently good recordings. Very generous guy. I've really enjoyed all the Perfect and Stinson material I've accumulated, be they boots or store-bought discs. P.S. - On the same dime-a-dozen page there's an upload of Johnny Cash "Sun Demos & Outtakes" (soundboard), which we know will be tasty.

Beck or Sting or Michael Bolton- Lyle is riding on the wrong bus if he's not on the FB church bus.
I'm pretty sure I crapped my pants.... Yep. |
