PMW: I’m a bit further along the road now, and the people that turn up… I don’t really have any half-hearted fans! The audience that comes is genuinely interested in the music.
Memories from the Past
Peter recalls a show from over 40 years ago, around 1982–83, with The Laughing Clowns, Ed Kuepper’s quartet. They performed with Sonic Youth in a Berlin loft.
I remember Thurston Moore saying, “You’ve got beer countries and you’ve got wine countries. Sonic Youth tends to do well in the beer countries, Germany, the UK, and America.” He mentioned “wine countries,” which I didn’t understand at the time. It turned out to be Spain, France, Italy. I was thinking, I’d like to do something in a wine country because I came from a beer country.
When Peter moved to New York, the image he had in mind was the New York of 1976–77, the era of Talking Heads, Television, Patti Smith, and the Ramones.
