Here’s “Talking in Circles,” the first of three compositions in the Che Underground archives by Noise 292 guitarist extraordinaire David Rives.
Dave and I played our first gigs together (Hair Theatre vocalist Sergio actually recalls watching us playing the Oak Crest Junior High School talent show in 1977), and he was my original guitar hero. This piece — which I believe was recorded in summer ’83 at the Che Cafe itself — showcases his formidable skills as a writer and performer.
Of all the rekindled connections on Che Underground, this one runs deepest for me.
This one is cool…very haunting.
This is from a Che show on Nov 17, 1983.
I love the melancholy and building tensions that lead to the emotional releases in this song.
Where’s my memory?, I can’t recall the words to this song and can’t quite understand the singing! Thanks for the props matthew, flem was my guitar hero!
(I never knew what you were singing, Dave!) 🙂
