Georgia, Ira, e Hamish Kilgour, The Clean 2010.
"Eu amo tocar nesta banda! EU AMO as oito noites do Hanukkah!" diz Ira Kaplan, ao lado de Georgia Hubley, e do baixista James McNew que parecem estar além de tonto, ou talvez um pouco além Punch-Drunk - bem na terra da felicidade,inundado de sorrisos.
Nels Cline tocou na terça-feira, Jeff Tweedy algumas noites antes, os Feelies apareceram na quinta-feira, comemorando o 26 º aniversário do primeiro show dos Yo La Tengo, neste mesmo palco do Maxwell. Hamish Kilgour, o amigo de longa data o baterista da indie-pop banda da Nova Zelândia, The Clean, para auxiliar na performance, talvez, o mais gratificante durante os oito dias da semana.
Isto foi o ano passado, 2010.
Mas todos os anos no Maxwell, a lendária banda vive o espírito Hanukkah, nas oito noites seguintes.
