On Sunday, July 15th [2001], Plan 9 Records in the Carytown area of Richmond, Virginia showcased an outside performance stage behind their store with music all day long. All live music events were free in celebration of their 20th year in business. Sparklehorse was the final performance. This is ‘Piano Fire’.

I would love to have heard him cover Smoking Her Wings by the Bats…blowing his heart out on a pavement, very ‘southern gothic’.
Scott Minor (the man machine) on drums I feel lucky to have been in Richmond in the 90′s to see a couple intimate sparklehorse shows. Does oil of clove work for a heartache?
peace to all his friends, family and former bandmates….
This was a Sparklehorse cover band – I think they were called the ‘Linkous House of Jive’. I’ll need to check my notes.
All that was missing was /Municipal Waste.. I mean, David Lowery even, er, “performed”.
I was here with a raging toothache, and my pal just so happened to have a vial of clove oil extract. Lamb of Gawd and Sparklehose on the same bill. Weird.
i would kill to see sparklehorse…i would…kill.
