Yes, this is what we need to brighten up any mood. It's obligatory to feature international scrawls and while most are awful, some are decent and a select few are even good.Īdding bits with the bobs will demonstrate further detail and unless stated, all screens are from the arcade.Ĭrystal ball, crystal ball, who is the shittest of all? I cordially invite you for light supper, a glass of milk and forgotten splashes of scrawls which on some occasions, suggest that the artists climbed the insanity tree and bumped into every twig on descent. Yes I know it's been a while since the last chunk but it matters not as you've hardly been starved of material. It’s too important to all of us to say it’s never gonna happen again.Ah, there you are and as you're here, why not pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. While there are no plans for Semisonic to reconvene, Slichter says “it’s not a case where two guys wanna play shows and the third guy doesn’t, which is a common scenario with bands. In fact, Wilson was 36-years-old when Semisonic released their commercial breakthrough Feeling Strangely Fine (which features “Closing Time”), and now both Wilson and Slichter are in their 50s and bassist John Munson will join them later this year. The members of Semisonic are older than your typical ‘90s alt-pop act, mostly because Semisonic existed in a previous incarnation, Trip Shakespeare, for years prior to the addition of Slichter and the formation of Semisonic.
“It’s too important to all of us to say it’s never gonna happen again.” In fact, Wilson nabbed a Grammy for his work with Adele on 21, and the last time Semisonic performed live (in 2012), the band closed with a version of “Someone Like You,” the Adele hit that she and Wilson wrote together. Singer/guitarist Dan Wilson, of course, has kept the most active in the music biz, having written songs for the likes of Adele, Pink and Taylor Swift, in addition to releasing two studio albums. Today Slichter-who penned the page-turning quasi-Semisonic (auto)biography So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star: How I Machine-Gunned a Roomful of Record Executives and Other True Tales-teaches creative writing at Sarah Lawrence and plays drums occasionally in a post-punk band that, he says, is “more like a bowling league than actual band.” It’s just one that’s not particularly active right now.” I actually think there’s value in the fact that we actually think of Semisonic as a going concern.
For some people that’s a semantic difference. “It was just sort of left there with the understanding that at any old time we could come back and do more of it. “Nothing was ever dissolved,” says Slichter. Still, according to drummer Jake Slichter, the band has never officially or unofficially broke up. It’s been 15 years since Semisonic last released new music and, aside from the occasional Minneapolis-area show here and there, the pop-rock trio has been dormant.
