Michael Rother on tour – no John, but he’s involved in future plans
In a lengthy video interview with German editing of Rolling Stone, Michael Rother is talking about his upcoming USA, Mexico and Europe Hallogallo 2010 tour, where his back-up band will consist of Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth fame on drums and Aaron Mullan of Tall Firs, presumably handling the guitar duties.
But mr. Rother also reveals other musicians, like John and Josh Klinghoffer will be integrated in this project on occasion. There’s no word on what the occasion is, but knowing more about it and knowing that it is still an option, after a news or two on it last year, is great.
You can find the tour dates on mr. Rother’s homepage (USA ones are in a couple of days, so if you’re based there, hurry up!) and watch the whole interview below. It’s in German, and the exciting bit comes at about 8:15. However, given this artist’s impressive work, you should give the whole thing a go.
Many thanks to Frank for this exciting piece of news!
