notes from Bandcamp:
“I knew a Katrina once……..”. Intended as a one-off performance for an audience of around 25 in The Dots’ home town of Nijmegen, “Katrina” became a piece de resistance for EK and The Silverman as they developed and expanded it over the years. However, on show here is that fragile first performance which began with Phil playing a record with a toy van that happened to have a cartridge attached to it’s underside and EK bidding the confused viewers to enter a New Orleans strip joint on a cold night in The Netherlands.A magical night really with Raymond Dijkstra and Timo Van Luik also on the bill. All 4 musicians improvised together at the end of the evening.
The second piece, “Slogans on a Cold Steel Canvas” is an abridged improvisation from the sessions that also provided much material for “Seconds Late for The brighton Line”.
Why is this album entitled “The 30 Year Itch?”Well, that’s how long it took to release a record under THE EK/Silverman banner.Thanks to Jese Peper for astonishing artwork and to Chris who released it for The Dots’ 2010 North American tour.
February 2017 release:
When “The 30 Year Itch” originally appeared,more cds were manufactured than covers. This is a special edition with HANDMADE covers designed by Dots’ members which appeared during the recent tour of North American. It’s an edition of 30 only…we brought 12 back to Europe, and each cover has a unique artwork, signed by Edward Kaspel and The Silverman.
