75 Dollar Bill - Sidney + Matilda, Sheffield, England, September 5, 2023
It's been a little while since we've gotten any new music from 75 Dollar Bill — but they were so active there for a few years that it might be OK to have a breather and catch up with Che Chen and Rick Brown. Last year right about this time, they were across the pond in Sheffield — a hot night in Steel Town?! Ohhh yeah.
This tape comes to us from the mighty Bobby Lee (have you dealt with his 2023 masterpiece Endless Skyways yet? You should deal with it!). "Recorded direct to C90 using a Tandberg TAT 771 cassette recorder," we're told — and for whatever reason, 75 Dollar Bill sounds absolutely marvelous when captured by this semi-primitive equipment. Their earliest stuff was similarly lo-fi and something about the sweet compression just really suits their singular style. Che and Rick are fully locked in for the duration, that piercing guitar meshing wonderfully with plywood crate percussion. Zoners and droners abound. You might just start boogieing.
"There’s a barrier," Chen told the Quietus not too long ago. "But we see people wiggling in their seats. Often it just takes one person to get up and start dancing. If that happens, there is almost always a bunch of other people that are given license and will get up too. It definitely doesn’t always happen, but it’s so great when it does."
