Michael asked:
I didn't get a chance to see them first time round (did Naked City ever play the U.K? I don't think so). I mean, I was only 13 or so when I bought Torture Garden!
They did, but I didn't get to see them either as I bought Torture Garden (my first Zorn record) just AFTER they'd toured. Grrr. I was 19 or 20 at the time (89/90) and picked it up because Frith played on it (!) and there was a very odd review of it in The Wire (by Mark Sinker, I think). From memory of another old issue of the Wire I picked up, they played in London, Manchester (the RNCM) and a couple of other places. Like The 21st Centruy Schizoid Band, I'd welcome seeing them play live, but hope to hell they won't bother with any new recordings. Or 2003 live albums (ones fromtheir original era are fine).

So they did play the U.K. Well, well, well ... Thanks for that. As I said, I was way too young at the time anyway (unless the gigs were all ages but I couldn't have seen my ol' man driving me to wherever to see them!). Saying that, I've been a Zorn fan since I was 11. It was basically from his appearance on "The South Bank Show" in early '89 when it featured "Put Blood In The Music" feat. Zorn, Sonic Youth, etc. I was watching it for Sonic Youth who I was then a recent convert of (all thanks to discovering the "Master=Dik" EP which is basically one of my favourite records of all-time now). And thanks also for the information on the John Zorn documentary. I'll send her an email ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
