David Kilgour News from Australia and Beyond
David Kilgour and the Heavy Eights have just returned from a sold out Australian tour with Yo La Tengo, as well as playing a number of their own sideshows along the way. The album The Far Now was released with an Australasian Bonus disc over there (and here) on Arch Hill/Remote Control – and it seemed to be getting the good word, so to speak – the Impress went as far as saying “Widely acknowledged as one of the best songwriters of our generation, The Far Now shows how well honed his craft is....true genius” Good to know the Australians share the views on NZ reviewers such as Russell Baillie in the NZ Herald and Lindsay Davis at the Dominion Post – both of whom gave The Far Now five star reviews.

Every Night during the Yo La Tengo encore set David joined them on stage to play a different Clean song (‘Point That Thing’, ‘Getting Older’ and’ Anything Could Happen’), which gives him a head-start on the rehearsals for The Clean tour...which starts THIS FRIDAY in Wellington, with a rare live support from Luke Buda and Band.
