Ian Svenonius makes me feel bad about myself. It’s not his fault. He’s not trying to. He’s just got great hair. I have pretty crappy hair. He wears great suits. I try my best. He makes music and books and speaks in public. I live in a trash can, where I belong. So, it is with a great sense of inadequacy that I tell you that Svenonius’s current band, Chain and the Gang, are doing a tour of the East Coast and Midwest, lasting roughly a week and a half.
As I seethe with the dull burn of my failures, I am letting you know that the group’s tour begins on May 14 in Baltimore, with the group hitting a handful of major cities before ending up in Pittsburgh on the 23rd. Last year, they put out Minimum Rock ‘n’ Roll, as the first release on Svenonius’s Radical Elite imprint through Dischord. See that? Not only does he put out a record, he starts a whole new label (well, imprint, but who’s counting?) while he’s at it. If anyone needs me, I’ll be fiddling around with a ship-in-a-bottle and cursing.
