The Hard Quartet, featuring Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus and Dirty Three’s Jim White, are coming to Australia.
Matt Sweeney – best known for New York math-rock band Chavez and as a Zelig-like guitarist who has played with artists including Billy Corgan, Dixie Chicks, Guided By Voices, Iggy Pop, Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond – is sitting in his apartment in Manhattan’s East Village, chrome-domed, moustachioed and wearing a tank-top and silver necklace.
“I texted Jim and Emmett from the studio that day,” Sweeney chimes in. “And right away they both said, ‘Cool. Let’s do it.’” “From the very first song, we just rehearsed it and it already sounded like it could be a record,” says Malkmus. “You just know it when you hear it.” “That’s cool to hear,” says Malkmus. “But that’s how it’s supposed to be, right? I mean, that’s how you want it to be. That’s what music is. Participating and finding your place.”
