Performing Today

NMW: How do you find performing these days?

PMW: I’m further along the road now, and the people who show up genuinely care about the music—no half-hearted fans. I remember doing a show over 40 years ago, back in ’82 or ’83, with The Laughing Clowns, Ed Kuepper’s quartet. We played with Sonic Youth in a loft in Berlin.

Thurston Moore said, “You’ve got beer countries and you’ve got wine countries. Sonic Youth tends to do well in the beer countries—Germany, the UK, and America.”

He used the term "wine countries," which I didn’t understand at the time. Those are Spain, France, and Italy. I thought, I’d like to do something in a wine country because I came from a beer country.

Interestingly, when I moved to New York, the New York I imagined was the one from ’76 or ’77—the era of Talking Heads, Television, Patti Smith, and the Ramones.
