Orphan Weekend Concert Pick
WILLOUGHBY tonight at El Cid.
Chet Baker is to Gus Seyffert as Elliot Smith is to well, Gus Seyffert. Which is to say that the guy definitely has some discernable heroes.
Still, his band Willoughby writes some very fine music and the tracks are some of the most gorgeous I've heard all year. Word on the street is that everything was recorded to 1/2 inch tape with John Lennon's ghost hovering in the rafters and then painstakingly mixed to such golden proportions your ears will blush. There's something classic about it all, and they're playing tonight at El Cid in Silverlake. With B.R.A.M and Electrocute.
