The best New Years I ever had involved a road trip to Nashville in search of a failed interview with Bobby Bare, Jr. I haven’t been back to Tennessee since. But that may change soon.

On January 31st, the Silver Jews will be playing a bluegrass show 333 feet below the Earth. Berman himself says “there will be some major items“:

well monotonix will be in fur one pieces playing drums with dinosaur bones and zildjan clamshells. I think i want William Tyler to depcit Chakha from Land of the Lost; tony crow will be deposited inside a Lascaux-Wildlife printed tuxedo from Petsmart Couture…but seriously there will be some major items. one thing i can tell you is that the silver jews credo “what we do is symbolic” is definitely in play here. I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t the last silver jews show. We have a couple of shows in south america in the summer but that’s it.

January 31 is a Saturday, so all I can say is that a road trip to McMinnville, Tn is under serious consideration.
