If you’re in the Portland, OR area, you may want to have your credit card ready for this: Jandek, the Houston-based singer/songwriter who released dozens of some of the most unusual records to date without making a public appearance for almost three decades, will be joined onstage by Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore for a one-off gig at the Hollywood Theatre next April.
The show has been organized by Jackpot Records, the indie label behind Jandek’s Portland Thursday, a live album from the same Hollywood Theatre stage that features Quasi’s Sam Coomes on bass and other guest musicians.
Who knows what Moore and Jandek have planned, but perhaps they’ll play “Painted My Teeth,” Moore’s contribution to Jandek tribute album Naked in the Afternoon. Here’s hoping the folks at Jackpot will be recording the concert for another live album, but there are no guarantees, so grab tickets here for this “one-time, onstage collaboration.”
