A bastion of your parent’s/grandparent’s record collections are in Wellington tonight, making for a strangely family-friendly event. I’ve not seen as many black shirts all together since the Destiny Church march in 2004.
Excellent time to post Dan Graham’s 1982 – 84 Rock My Religion. Graham made a lot of work around kids making noise in the suburbs back then (and he’s still amongst it: check Japanther’s Dump The Body In Rikki Lake puppet opera for a flash of Graham as audience member), and here he aligns frantic limb flailing at gigs with the religious revivals of the Shakers.
Warning: contains Art.
