Lee Ranaldo - Solo Acoustic Dates In Europe
From Lee :
"While the members of The Dust are scattered to the four winds for a little while, I’m undertaking a solo acoustic tour in Europe. The plan is to play selections from the two albums, some covers and hopefully some of the new songs I’m currently working on, and to play them as most of them originated – on acoustic guitars, in stripped down style. Guitar and voice, little or no fuzz. Anyway that’s the plan right now, this will be a further ‘acoustic experiment’ for me. We’ve sought out small capacity, intimate venues with good acoustics for these shows. Hope to see some of you along the way."

Lee Ranaldo & The Dust - "Blackt Out" Short Film Premiere, European Dates This Month & Next
Lee Ranaldo and the Dust: Blackt Out on Nowness.com
Over the weekend, Nowness premiered the above film directed by Fred Riedel and based on Lee Ranaldo's "Blackt Out" (original studio version found on 2013's 'Last Night On Earth') ; here's Lee's take on the 13 minute short :
The basic concept plays off particular images of the Velvet Underground as filmed by Andy Warhol in the late 60s, casually rehearsing at the Factory, performing (as The Exploding Plastic Inevitable) on St Marks Place with projections and dancers, and even Warhol’s famous 'Screen Tests'. The character of “The Projectionist” is played by legendary NYC avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs (with whom both myself and director Fred Riedel studied back in the 70s). Among the dancers can be spotted former SY drummer Bob Bert. Longtime SY associate, director David Markey, is among those behind the camera on this piece. Shot at Sonic Youth studio Echo Canyon West as well as at live gigs in New York City and Los Angeles.
Lee and the Dust return to Europe next Sunday for the following shows :
May 25 Kortrijk, Belgium - De Kreun
May 26 Antwerpen, Belgium - Trix

“A solo record works best when you feel like you’re opening a window into somebody’s life, experiencing the things they’re going through or thinking about, places they’re seeing, through their eyes. At its best, you find a universality in it.”
