Notes:
Opening for Bonnie "Prince" Billy at The Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte,
NC was the mysterious band "The Babblers," which turned out to be, for those of us
lucky enough to get to our seats by 8:10, the same line-up as Bonnie's main set.
Everyone was wearing pajamas as they tore through the Kevin Coyne & Dagmar Krause
masterpiece "Babble" in its entirety, which, to those who hadn't heard it yet (clearly
99% of the audience), quickly won over the crowd. I only recorded "I Confess" to the
end, as I was having technical problems, but my friend Ryan (who has uploaded countless
BPB master recordings) captured the entire set, and you have, for your enjoyment,
both of our recordings here. I hope you buy Bonnie "Prince" Billy recordings in all their
formats, and the Kevin Coyne & Dagmar Krause "Babble" album, though hard to find, is easily
available on Itunes for $9.99 . I bought it after attending this show because it has clearly
inspired these amazing musicians. If you download this and enjoy it you should do the same
because it's the right thing to do.
