David Kilgour - The Gas Station, New York City, June 18, 1992

Good news! The Great Unwashed's Clean Out Of Our Minds is getting a much-needed reissue soon. This band was the 4-track project of David and Hamish Kilgour following The Clean's initial splintering. Killer stuff — but then, pretty much everything that the Brothers Kilgour touched is magic. Like David's first solo LP, Here Come The Cars! That one has been reissued a few times over the years, but it looks like it could use another edition; even the reissues are going for beaucoup bucks these days. Beaucoup!  

Anyway, here's something that passed my way recently, and I'm passing it your way, too — David playing an abandoned NYC gas station on a short tour in support of Here Come The Cars?! Why not! I could listen to only this guy play guitar for the rest of my days and be happy. There's something about his strumming/sparkling style that just knocks me clean out of my mind.

Over on Facebook recently, David offered up a fond remembrance of this gig:

"I could only afford to bring Noel Ward on bass from NZ so we picked up drummer James Kavoussi from Fly Ashtray. Unrest also played they were fantastic!!!!! A CMJ festival, I think...We got a flat tyre outside the venue and couldnt find a spare, all the while fighting off the junkie who was stripped to his waste and covered in lathered soap. There was a shooting gallery nearby . It was a terrifying scene. It didnt help Noel and I were driving Hamish and Lisa's car which was a huge stationwagon, like a oldsmobile from the 70s, fucking huge, mid summer, no air con. Ha! The glamour life!"

Any fans of The Clean, David Kilgour, or Hamish Kilgour, here is your chance to own a reasonably priced copy of The Great Unwashed "Clean Out of Our Minds" on vinyl. Noise Prints (Portland, Oregon) somehow landed the opportunity to release this gem of lo-fi pop. Really, think of it as Tall Dwarfs crossed with Syd Barrett while retaining the signature Kilgour brothers sound.

Tex Houston remastered this which was originally released by Flying Nun 40 years ago.

Interesting that the new Exploding Flowers album "Watermelon/Peacock" came across my radar while I was listening to Club 8. That was one of my easiest transitions between snooping listens I can recall.

This is our 3rd Exploding Flowers post in the past 5 years. There is only one song currently available for listen. The first half has a Club 8 (from the new release) vibe, while the instrumental outro recalls the finest work of Yo La Tengo, or David Kilgour. This song has fuller sound, less power poppy sound, than earlier Exploding Flowers (Los Angeles, California) releases.

The Bandcamp write-up gives a good summary of the bands background:

Led by Sharif Dumani who has worked with a variety of artists which include Alice Bag, Cody Chesnutt, Sex Stains, the Moon Upstairs, Classics Of Love, Nick Garrie, Jowe Head, Nikki Sudden, Silver Apples and many more, the quartet is comprised of members Josh Mancell (the Moon Upstairs, Cell\Borg), Happy Tsugawa-Banta (Lassie Foundation, Ray Barbee), and Mark Sogomian (the Moon Upstairs).

"Watermelon/Peacock" will be released by Meritorio Records, but U.S. orders will ship, as usual, from Jigsaw Records.
