From TLASILA Blog, May 14, 2008:
From Toulouse by train to Lyon. A seven-hour trek stretched to eight-and-a-half by agonizing delays; Gaybomb looked faint as we inched into the station...
Another great trio gig at Sonic, a refurbished tug docked quayside on the Saône. Fantastic audience, smaller than the horde who gathered for us in Toulouse but no less enthusiastic. We performed an improvised fury of a set, perhaps a half hour in length, as we necessarily embraced narrative opportunities bequeathed us in the wake of Sickboy's unfortunate departure. On "Mothers Over Silverpoint" we collaborated with Canadian/French duo .cut; lovely gents. I was reintroduced to Marie Claire, the Lyon-based performance artist with whom we shared a bill at the now-desiccated Pez Ner venue. She danced her brains out, then told us of recent works and a certain repositioning of the tricolor...
Met Manu from Savage Land! He set up a stall at Sonic and of course we spoke late into the evening. He is with us now at the hotel.
* Bandcamp's algorithms detect the word "vinyl" in a title as an indication that vinyl recordings are being sold by the artist in the album offering. To circumvent this annoyance, the two words of the title were joined for this release page. The album was issued in 2014 as "Chorea Vinyl," and the title remains.
