I was in Los Angeles last weekend for the Big Star tribute show at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and the Cinefamily’s Magnificent Hubleys program, which kept me so busy that when I found out the Aislers Set were doing a show in town, I could get no closer than reminiscing about our date together in Lexington, Kentucky, 11 years ago today. All tour Joe has ceded the Ace Tone chair on “I Heard You Looking” to Dan Lee, and tonight Dan–and Wyatt Cusick–also tickle the plastics on “Emulsified,” and the whole group adds to the cacophony on “Nuclear War.” Speaking of Kentucky, on this date in 1991, we play with Anitetam at the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana for the second time that year. I wonder when’s the last time we played ANY club other than Maxwell’s twice in a year?
