Robyn Hitchcock: Live at WFMU on Irene Trudel's Show on 12/4/2006 w/ The Venus 3
Album Description
After a number of acoustic outings, Robyn Hitchcock came blasting forth with his rockingest album in years, "Olé Tarantula," employing the fab 3 of Messrs McCaughey, Buck and Rieflin (3/5 of The Minus 5, or 1/2 of R.E.M., or 1/4 of the Young Fresh Fellows). Robyn says of this latest disc on Yep Rock, "To me, the whole record is sadness cloaked in fun. But under that fun, more sadness." But whatever the underlying tone may be, Robyn & the 3 laid down a spirited set for Irene & the WFMU listeners during a recent trip to the NYC area. -Irene Trudel
