David Watson, from Wellington, New Zealand, had his first recordings in 1981 with the avant collective Primitive Art Group on the fascinating Braille Record label that he cofounded. The releases on the label are an incredible peak into the nascent New Zealand outre scene. Watson moved to New York in the early 90’s and has since recorded with Ikue Mori, John Zorn, Alastair Galbraith, Christian Marclay, Lee Ranaldo, Bill Nace and a cavalcade of others as a guitarist and highland bagpiper. We are thrilled to welcome him to our weekly show this Wednesday at 10:30 AM PST on KSPC 88.7. The first two Primitive Art Group records are seeing a release for the first time state side on venerable Amish records. Don’t sleep.
