Recorded at Mercer Union, May 12, 2012.

Fiver - Dayton

Full review to follow. Billed as an "in-gallery sound performance", this was a most unusual night in the non-euclidean reconfiguration of the front gallery at Mercer Union. Fiver is the new project from $100's Simone Schmidt, here joined by Paul Mortimer. Pitched as an outlet for the sort of songs that might not easily fit into her usual projects, there's certainly an element of that at play — but there's no doubt that they're "Simone Schmidt" songs. She'll be playing again soon, opening for Eamon McGrath at The 'Shoe on May 24th — you should really head out early for that and catch her boss new tunes.

^* Colin has tentatively identified this one for us — will update if any further information comes to light. New shit has come to light, as they say. Title updated.
