jeffrey lewis

Subcity Sessions // 11.04.10 // Jeffrey Lewis

With his battered acoustic guitar smattered in stickers, Jeffrey Lewis performances are heavy on wordplay, both playful and personal, they could be about the joys of objectophelia or cover some episode of American history with an observational schtik that’s more on the money than Seinfeld. After a series of gigs supporting Daniel Johnston and his BEAM orchestra, Jeffrey Lewis came to Glasgow and played some versions of Nervous Norvis, Phoebe Kreutz, something about insect killing and something about ex-girlfriends.

I usually have to work a bit harder to get on the subject of comics in interviews, like after a tour story…“oh I read this comic once and exactly the same thing happened, but they accidentally desecrated Muslim graves and got chased out of the city. Have you ever read Mome no.5?” Sometimes I get a nervous laugh, or a rider rummage, sometimes I get a massive chat about superhero movies, but Jeffrey Lewis makes some awesome comics, they include some autobiographical stories about his travels around Europe, his Dad’s journeys from New York to L.A. in a wacked-out car that was attacked by bears, plus some surreal sci-fi adventures with a flying fish. So we chatted about them and how "he might not have as many records as you might think."

This is an exclusive set and interview from a unique performer.
