Weird WeedsThe Weird Weeds
Visiting from Austin, Texas, The Weird Weeds perform their distinctive songs in the WNYC Studio. Singing drummer Nick Hennies provokes a wide array of sounds from his percussion; Sandy Ewen sits on the floor with her guitar in her lap, sings, and bows her guitar with pieces of chalk; Aaron Russell's guitar playing is the ground from which the music sprouts. The songs are focussed, but do indeed take "weird" shapes at times. The band joins host David Garland to play and talk about their music, and Sandy gives an informative demonstration of her chalk-guitar technique.
