bböp Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I have to say, this isn't something I necessarily saw coming... End of Love reform w/ new members Nels Cline & Jody Stephens, announce a show; Lee Ranaldo on LP, Nels touring Americana powerpop band End of Love existed in the early '00s in NYC. Original members Jay Deegan, Jennifer Groves, and Irwin Menken reformed the band with a couple additions you may recognize: Wilco's Nels Cline on guitar and Big Star's Jody Stephens on drums. The band's forthcoming new album, Ghosts on the Radio, was recorded in Memphis' Ardent Studios and also features appearances from Wilco's John Striatt from Lee Ranaldo (Menken spent time in Lee's band who has opened for Wilco whose members have also played with Jody in Golden Smog). You can stream "100 Years" from it below.The new lineup of End of Love will be making their live debut in NYC on July 17 at The Bowery Electric with The Tall Pines, Margo Valiante and Chris Lind on the bill as well. Tickets are on sale now.That Bowery Electric show is one of a few coming for NYC duo The Tall Pines whose new EP, Black Ribbon, is out next week (6/24). They play a show as part of the Hudson Square Music & Wine Festival on August 19 with Sweetback Sisters, and other places listed below..Meanwhile, Nels Cline, who just the other day performed with the Les Paul Trio at Iridium and at the Ornette Coleman tribute in Prospect Park, kicks off a North American tour with Julian Lage this week. The tour begins Friday (6/20) at Single Cut Beersmiths in Queens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Nels is getting just about every gig on the planet these days, it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wondering if it's because of his somewhat recent move to New York City--- it is a great thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wondering if it's because of his somewhat recent move to New York City--- it is a great thing. Yeah, I sort of figured that would happen once he relocated to NYC full-time. There's so many opportunities and people to play with there, even more so than LA. I think it's great for someone like Nels, who loves to play, doesn't have kids, etc. But it certainly is exhausting to try and keep track of it all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
