MAC MCCAUGHAN (SUPERCHUNK)
ORIGAMI VINYL, LA
12 JUNE, 2012
For me, if it's a road trip or a long haul late night drive, odds are good Superchunk is involved. They've seen the hard times and taken the lumps and soldiered through, bloodied but unbowed, carving a nice little niche for themselves, and a mini-indie empire in the form of Merge Records. It's a band I reach for by default when the going gets rough.
Last we heard from the the band was 2010's aptly named Majesty Shredding, until now. Tuesday saw the release of a new Superchunk 45, "This Summer", b/w an ace cover of Bananarama's "Cruel Summer". Limited to a release of 1300 copies, it's probably best to strike quick if you want this one.
An amazing night in the company of an indie legend, and a nice stopgap until the full bands return.
Courtesy of @Superchunk, here's the setlist in their typical shorthand fashion:
Origami solo set: RopeLight/Cool/ThisSummer/HomeAtDawn/ SongforaClock/Spys/Barcelona/Throwing/Digging/Noisy/Detroit/SanAndreas
Fun bonus outtake (below), what I've come to know and love as the "Abraham Lincoln" shot:
