Oh wow I have just been transported to those London years when apparently we used to hang out quite a lot since I remember most stories mentioned, the round house, your amazing appearance in Devandra´s concert, Valentina and Roi who became the guitarist of the performance I did for your show, (so glad they have a kid!!), Jeffry Lewis and when you invited me to that intimate concert and then we hanged out in old street until early hours..and a long etc.. And felt so identified with that feeling of coming back to those details of being in a concert, that are part of a time in the past which happen so often, and now with kids never really happens ever! And the soundtrack of those years that indeed transport me instantly too not only Molldy Peaches, Adam Green, Devandra, Herman Dune, Conan and the mocasins, .. but also YOUR SONGS which put a soundtrack to my life back then! Thank you Lail . Love you more than you think! happy birthday dear Milo, you have an amazing mum!
Oh Ana this was so nice to wake up to - you remember even more than me! Thank you.. It was a time… and London misses your wild twirling spirit dancing with its own shadow!! Muchos Besos
Holy cow! That footage with Devendra is amazing. What a brilliant thing to have captured.
I saw The Moldy Peaches support The Strokes when they were just Adam & Kimya and loved that debut album. Somehow never kept up with them after that but wish I had. I sold that album when I was clearing out my old CDs then regretted it less than a year later and bought a second hand copy to restore my equilibrium.
What a fun post. A veritable who’s who of my own musical discovery and exploration of the early aughts! And Devendra, that sweet soul. I met him once in San Francisco when my friends Two Gallants were playing a show, maybe at Bimbo’s with Vetiver? Anyway. You are the greatest, and reading this makes me want to dust off the six string, and my vocal cords.
Ah! All these foggy memories! Even foggier with newborn sleep deprivation I bet.. hope you’re enjoying every minute! Thank you substack-friend, and I look forward to hearing a new song soon!
It’s nice to hear the excitement of going back to live shows. I’m sure you have your reasons for the delay and I hope you can jump back in. Fun to see you and your friends talk about the good old days. My tribe is seventy yr olds reliving the 70s (cosmic honky tonk as Jim Lewin calls it)in the Santa Cruz Mountains. So going back to that first show was so life affirming. Mouldy Peaches look like a fun band.I do know Regina and Devendra. Oh and Ray. Happy birthday Milo,I hope you got a bike
HBD Milo! Love the Moldy peaches.. and used to love Adam Green till I saw him live circa 2009 and he was so not bothered about being on stage it kinda disappointed me! Beautiful text :) X
The Roundhouse! Back in the late '70s, Thelma Holt's day, had a play in production at The Roundhouse Downstairs. The production fell through, but affection for the place survives.

Ah that must have been a great show with the Strokes! Second hand is better anyway :)
It was a bit special. Turned up & venue couldn’t find my ticket so they let me & my pal in a side door & we ended up first in & on the barrier.
Perfect.

Wow, cosmic honky tonk in the Santa Cruz mountains sounds so much fun… Hope we’ll be reliving the 90s in our 90s!!
Great Post Lail! Love the story and the clips. Best regards, Paul
Thank you kindly!
Happy Birthday Milo! 🥳💕
Thank you Peter!

Ha… I think he is bothered again! They were so genuinely overwhelmed and generous… X

Wish I could do a little time-travel…
Happy Birthday, Milo! Love the connections (and the MySpace-Memories)!
Those were the days! Who knew!
