KEN STRINGFELLOW IN-STORE FEB. 5!

Home
/

February 5, 2013 - Live Shows , Live@RX - by The Record Exchange - No Comments

Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, R.E.M., Big Star) will perform live at The Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St., Downtown Boise) at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5. As always, this Record Exchange in-store performance is free and all ages. Stringfellow is performing at Neurolux later that evening as part of Radio Boise Tuesdays and we have tickets for sale at the store! RSVP HERE.

ABOUT KEN STRINGFELLOW

Ken Stringfellow – musician, songwriter, producer, arranger – has been part of the indie landscape since the debut of his acclaimed band The Posies in 1988. Hailing from the musical hotbed of Seattle at the time when that music scene exploded into national prominence, The Posies went on to sign with Geffen Records and released brilliant, successful albums such as 1993’s legendary Frosting on the Beater. The band is still active today, having released their seventh album Blood/Candy in 2010 … an album heaped with critical praise in the U.K. press: The Word magazine devoted two pages to a review, which called it “a finely calibrated … dazzling tapestry … just stupidly good.”

In addition to his groundbreaking work with the Posies, Ken was part of rock legends Big Star, one of the most acclaimed and legendary groups of all time, from 1993 until the death of Alex Chilton in 2010. Ken played bass, sang and helped create the band’s 2005 album In Space, their first since 1978’s timeless Third/Sister Lovers. He’s still frequently called upon to perform, speak about and celebrate the music of one of the cornerstones of indie rock.

Ken also spent ten years on the road and in studio with R.E.M., appearing on two albums (2001’s Reveal and 2004’s Around the Sun) and propelling the band on keyboards, bass, guitar and accordion during headlining slots at Glastonbury, Rock In Rio, Rock Am Ring, etc., as well as on TV shows such as Top of the Pops, Saturday Night Live, Later With Jools Holland and countless others.

The list of collaborations goes on: guitarist in punk legends Lagwagon; producer/engineer on albums for Damien Jurado, the Long Winters, China’s Hanggai and dozens more; onstage and on-album appearances with Snow Patrol (keyboards on their landmark Eyes Open album), Neil Young, Patti Smith, Mudhoney, Death Cab For Cutie … to list all his work over the years would add up to hundreds of albums and thousands of live appearances.

Then there’s his solo work. A scant four albums over the last two decades (1997’s This Sounds Like Goodbye, 2001’s Touched, 2004’s Soft Commands and 2012’s Danzig in the Moonlight), all garnering high praise in Pitchfork, Mojo, NME and other incontrovertible indie rock media. The albums mix Ken’s deeply expressed, emotional singing with delicate support: acoustic, electric, electronic, chamber — Stringfellow is adept at many styles. His shows are legendary, pushing minimalism to its core definition, often performing without using the house P.A,. Ken’s voice soars, cries, leaps from barely audible to room-filling anguish, joy, sorrow and humor. Ken’s live show has been raved about in packed audiences from Lithuania to Lima, from Taipei to Tasmania, from Johannesburg to Trinidad.
