Stephen Malkmus & Matt Sweeney on David Berman, heckling Nirvana
Stephen Malkmus and Matt Sweeney discuss their band the Hard Quartet and its new, self-titled debut LP, living in places like Chicago and New York City, the memorial weekend event for Steve Albini that Matt and I attended in Illinois this past July and playing complicated games of dice, the friendship that Stephen and Matt shared with the late David Berman and fresh perspectives on the time Berman, Stephen, and Bob Nastanovich infamously heckled Nirvana, how the Hard Quartet all became friends and eventually started this band where all the guitarists take turns playing bass, the stories behind some of the songs and sounds by the Hard Quartet, the Edmonton Oilers and Neil Young’s iconic father, the late hockey writer, Scott Young, Matt’s amazing video series Guitar Moves, what’s next for the Hard Quartet, other future plans, and much more.
