"Last night former Seattle resident Wesley Stace, aka John Wesley Harding, played an intimate show at the Tractor Tavern with special Guest star Kurt Bloch. Wes moved to New York about ten years ago and achieved worldwide fame as a novelist, yet he continues to write and record music.

Although he now lives in Philadelphia, he's in the Northwest recording an album with fellow former Seattleites Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck at Portland's Type Foundry Studios. His backing band consists of four out of five of the Decemberists.

Should be an awesome album when it's finished."

Video Premiere: Live John Wesley Harding (from Blurt)

"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."
