“Although it’s
identified with Los Angeles, the Paisley Underground has roots that extend
about 400 miles to the north. Specifically, to Davis, California, a small
college town near Sacramento. Even more specifically, to the UC Davis student
radio station. That’s where Steve Wynn met Kendra Smith, shortly before they
formed the Suspects and later the Dream Syndicate. That’s where Russ Tolman
spun records before he joined the Suspects and later True West. Scott Miller of
Game Theory spun records at KDVS, as did Guy Kyser of art punks Thin White
Rope. It’s not unusual for college radio stations to attract music nerds,
misfits, and budding musicians, but in the late 1970s nearly every DJ at UC
Davis was a cult legend in the making.”
Anmeldelserne begynder så småt at løbe ind for den nye The Dream Syndicate-plade, ’How Did I Find Myself Here’, bandets første siden 1988. Men hvordan begyndte det egentlig for The Dream Syndicate og Paisley Underground-scenen, som de blev en del af i begyndelsen af firserne? Det bragte Stereogum en længere artikel om for et par dage siden.
