Today at 2PM EST: David Dalle interviews pianist Lisa Moore for Ottawa’s CKCU-FM about our recent release of Grand Band Live — featuring what David has described as a “miraculous” performance of Julius Eastman’s ‘Gay Geurrilla’ for six (count ‘em, *six*) grand pianos. cod.ckcufm.com/programs/105...
