...is something I know very little about. What I do know, though, is that they put on these things called the Take-away Shows which are in almost every circumstance, exceptional. Imagine bands like Yeasayer, St Vincent, Sigur Ros, The Black Lips etc etc etc, doing one-off mini shows in someone's house, or some little cafe, to only a handful of people.
I experienced something like that once. Jap-Rock legends Guitar Wolf played a show in Auckland. At the show, my friend's mum asked if they'd like to come play an after-show show in her lounge. They obliged, and in the setting sun, Guitar Wolf tore the shit out of Roy Bell's Mum's lounge, much to the disdain of the neighboring retirement home. You couldn't make that up if you tried.
