wilco's support on aus tour


Recommended Posts

Yep - Glenn Richards is indeed the support act. Why, I have no idea. Not that Augie March are particularly bad at all, in fact, I think that band would have been a better choice than Gelbison and Gersey were here in Aust last time. But Glenn Richards solo... hmmm. Interesting prospect. I've seen him play solo before and he seems to be afflicted with a terrible nervous twitch that makes watching him quite awkward. Which bands would you blokes have chosen as a support act?

Paul kelly would be a good choice

 

 

as for Paul kelly, i dont know what his popularity is like overseas but he's very dylanesque (even opened for him in 2001 down here) and has a resemblance to tweedy solo shows.. that would have been a good choice

 

 

or even better, jeff can do some solo stuff before the band comes on :thumbup

My first choice would have been Bluebottle Kiss who last year released one of the most criminally under-appreciated Aussie albums that I can recall; the double CD set Doubt Seeds. I highly recommend getting hold of this album if you've not heard it.

 

I also would have been rather happy with The Panics, The Sleepy Jackson or Augie March.

dont international bands that come here have to have an australian support, thats what i heard anyway. so no M Ward

 

a cool acoustic sleepy jackson would be sweet,

 

the crayon fields would be cool as too machine translations and gelbison

Great combination. Both are on my top 10 bands I want to see live.

Too bad they weren't in Australia last year.
