Evening improvisation

Last year I went to General Assembly for a great show by Horseman Pass By, where they opened for Vampire Belt, the duo of Bill Nace and Chris Corsano. HPB had their excellent new record All Curses Are Mirrors there, but it wasn't quite an album release show. The honest-to-goodness record release show happened May 24, again at General Assembly, with excellent opening sets from Kee Avil and Elms, who started things off. Here's Alex of Elms, a man with an admitted fondness for Scott Walker (he covered Farmer In The City).

On to Kee Avil, who does things with a guitar and voice and unconventional song structure.
