Here we have a chat backstage at MusicFestNW 08 with Dean and Randy aka No Age in which we discuss Wire’s Pink Flag, Dean asks about Gang of Four and I don’t reply, they both discuss Portland and vegans and how amazing the city is…then they play a song.

There was a stark contrast between No Age’s multi-layered rock and the straightforward approach of Oxford Collapse approaching the same style with much more simplicity and arguably more force later at Holocene. No Age had the customary floor of PC effects (shudder to think what ‘76 punk bands would have done with that!), the Oxford Collapse bassist didn’t even have one effects pedal. OC is performance of MFNW so far.
On another note, typical balls up over entry/exit at the Wonder Ballroom - they blamed it on “a single man” (T Solomon, I presume). I won’t bore people with it here, but don’t leave if you want to be sure to get back in at any venue.
