~~~SPECIAL INTERMISSION GUEST
While Addenda
is just beginning, there's a history. Dan Sofaer and Christopher
Anderson first met when Christopher was the singer in the Washington,
D.C. band Nine Men Are Suicides. After being musical director for the
recording of the one song the band knew how to play (Sister Ray by the
Velvet Underground), Dan went on to be a founding member of the Silence
After and Christopher rejoined him in '88 for the short-lived Hurricane
Daisy, whose killer demo had Fugazi's Don Zientara for its producer.
After years in the wilderness, Dan reemerged as bassist in the San
Francisco trio Giant Haystacks, and Christopher posted some Prince
covers on MySpace. A chance note from Japan has reunited them, and
they're ready to bring the spirit to the letter.
You can find their music at myspace.com/addenda
