It took a while for our schedules to finally match up for We Drew Lightning to play live in the studio. I was excited to see Michael and Roland arrive with a few cars full of equipment. We set up early and got a good sound-check. When they started playing everything was bliss. We Drew Lightning are fun, thoughtful and eclectic. ENJOY

This weeks Twisted Groove starts out with a John Doran interview with Tortoise. Tortoise released a new album the other month which I previewed here in June. The Interview is a cool piece of art in it’s self. The show then moves into Indie territory with quite a few new tracks and some old classics.

This weeks Twisted Groove was sparked by the most recent tour of Dean & Britta (of Luna fame). They have composed music for and are touring with Screen Tests films of Andy Warhol. Someone once called Luna’s music Dream Pop which I think is a fitting description. So this weeks show tries to blend other artist that might fall into the Dream Pop category. Regrettably the second set recording was stopped short by yet another computer glitch. When I can find the time I would like to recreate the second set.
