Watt, Cline, Honda and Bowne to Release Album as Floored by Four

Members of Snow Patrol, R.E.M. and Belle and Sebastian aren’t the only musicians forming supergroups these days. Pitchfork reports that Mike Watt (Minuteman and Stooges bassist) has teamed up with Nels Cline (guitarist for Wilco), keyboardist Yuka Honda (formerly of Cibo Matto) and drummer Dougie Bowne (Iggy Pop/Brian Eno/John Cale collaborator), to create Floored by Four....  read more

Nels Cline Singers: Initiate

A guitar hero razzles and dazzles That Walt Whitman phrase is overused, perhaps, but there’s no simpler way to say it: Nels Cline contains multitudes. And that’s not just because his group is called The Nels Cline Singers, implying a roster more considerable than the actual trio.

Nels Cline Singers kick off series of dates tonight in NYC

Nels Cline had been playing guitar for decades before he was "that totally awesome dude who wails for Wilco." In fact, the L.A.-born Cline has been working as a guitarist and songwriter since 1967. And so it makes sense that between promoting last year’s Sky Blue Sky with the band, Cline is playing a few shows with his Nels Cline Singers, showing off the experimental jazz he loves best. If you won’t be in New York City this April, or near the northern border this June, you can also listen to Cline’s audible genius on Cryptogramophone labelmates The Jeff Gauthier...  read more
