Best show with which to end this year's blog: an incredibly cool double-bill of Jigsaw Seen (above) and New York Junk at the Silverlake Lounge 12.10.16.
Jonathan Lea with his electric sitar.
With Dennis singing, Jonathan uses and ebow hovering over the guitar like hands over a theremin, to suitably studio-FX sounding resolution. He is a master of this technique.
Set list titles hint at unusual topics of subversive but melodic (and yet still fun!) songs. It is advised you purchase their releases also to enjoy their whimsically complex packaging.

New York Junk's first foray to the west coast found quite a receptive audience to their laconic tales of life in Manhattan, done sorta mid-tempo punk groove. New York Junk are Joe Sztabnik, guitar, vocals; Cynthia Ross, bass, vocals; Gary Barnett, drums (and at home and abroad they add Jeff Ward on additional guitar.)
