As Pitchfork have pointed out, Merrill Garbus and her tUnE-yArDs band are set to delve in soundtracking. They’ll play on the 23rd April, during the San Francisco International Film Festival, and will re-work some of their own tracks to provide an audio accompaniment to some classic Buster Keaton films (1920’s One Week, 1918’s Good Night, Nurse!, 1921’s The Haunted House, and 1918’s The Cook, to be particular).
Overall, that should equate to 88 minutes of music, so there’ll be plenty to hear. During the show they’ll be accompanied by local guitarist Ava Mendoza. Sounds like a fine way to spend an evening, if you ask me, and it’s not something you’ll likely see again, so grab your tickets now!
