Thank you for this. This song helped get me through high school. Was lucky enough to see them play live at the Knitting Factory. But sad because Magnetic Fields opened and everyone left after they played. Might have been 5 people in the audience. And they were amazing.
Thank you for watching. Yes, they were an amazing band. It's surprising to see how little there is from bands from the 90s and earlier on TH-cam. I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time with a camera.
@@mickd22 I have the original tape recording but have only made it available as single edited tracks. In the future my plan is to run it through a program to clean up the video and then upload the full show. It all comes down to time and money, until then the full set will stay locked away.
After doing a search to find any info on this band that i totally missed out on in my youth...small town in South with little access to anything non radio hits. finding this band like lost treasure. What a treat to find this buried among all the videos of how to melt plastic with Acetone...toy Barbies, credit cards, etc.😁
This song is as beautiful as anything by Low, but then they could also rock out as hard as anyone. That dynamic between the quiet ones and the garagey ones is perfect! And the harmonies!! Oh man. Awesome.
God I love this band. Cindy is one of my top favorite 90s albums. So glad I got to see them in NYC on this 1998 tour. Keith Wood (from Rough Trade Records and Vernon Yard Records etc ) used to tell me that the original demos for Cindy were even better than the finished album, hard for me to imagine, and I have never been able to get my hands on those demos to hear for myself.
We, and a bunch of musicians were told that Acetone would come to play in the Paradiso. I am sure that all the (in my eyes interesting and cool) musicians were there to see this magnificent band.. I have played their music over and over and many times they come by in discussions about music. I had a hard time when someone told me about the suicide … since then the lyrics of ‘things are gonna be alright’ hit me in the face… One of my favorite bands (with Mark Hollis, VU and Parquet Courts)
I filmed acetone many years ago and the footage has sat in storage for the last 20 years. I just started posting the footage I shot in the '90s. Out of storage and into your life.

I'm glad you found my footage. Acetone was a nice bunch of guys. I count myself lucky to have interviewed and filmed them live way back in 1998.
