I notice there is a new-ish Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel track over on Bandcamp.
Its been out a while, but I'd missed it until now. There's lots of swearing - be warned Wink

Its this one:

Two new Jeff tracks have appeared on bandcamp in the past week-or-so.

It occurred to me that Will Oldham AKA Bonnie Prince Billy, also often changes his band name for different albums eg. Palace Brothers, Palace Music etc. (just like Jeff also does). I think his ration ...

Here's what the ticket website says about the line-up and album :

Current bandmates the Voltage are Brent (Moldy Peaches) Cole on drums and Mem (Cat Tatt) Pahl on bass and keys. Their new full-len ...

I'm seeing him in the UK - but he's touring across Northern Europe too

I expect if this tour is a success they'll do more dates.

I noticed that one of Ni ...

I don't think the lyrics are 100% accurate - but I can't offer any improvement. I think someone would have to go back to the original master tapes to be more certain.

I'm certain this is the CD you're referring to - I bought my copy during the recent UK tour.

Definitely worth buying. I hope that Jeff does more of these end-of-tour CDs.

Getting back to the original post...just imagine that Rough Trade have asked you to compile a "Best Of" Jeffrey Lewis and the Jrams/Rain/Jitters/Junkyard etc. What tracks would you choose?

Drats! this video can't be played in the UK...(it says this video is not available in your country...)

I'm glad you can find something to laugh about - it seems to be a pretty depressing campaign..

On the most recent UK tour (Jeff-Mem-Jack-Brett), Mem sang lead vocals on one song. I think this is the first time that Jeff hasn't sang lead, or co-lead (with Jack). (at least this is the case for a ...

The Jrams bootleg ("A Loot-Beg Bootleg") is a great album - capturing the songs at the end of tour is a great idea.

The decision to bookend the album with cover versions is novel - someone had to b ...

Knowing Jeff's love of obscure sixties psychedelic music, I thought some of the forum readers might "enjoy" discovering this band, or maybe not.

I was first attracted their fantastic name: "Percewo ...

And he's touring Europe and UK during April 2015.
