Sun Kil Moon Gets Orchestrated
Sun Kil Moon’s current short run of North American tour dates will dovetail into a three-week European tour in May, frontman Mark Kozelek said The group features Matt Boyer and Kozelek’s Red House Painters colleague Phil Carney on guitar, plus violin/viola players Alan Molina and Michi Aceret. Next up is a two-night stand beginning Tuesday (March 30) in Kozelek’s San Francisco homebase. "We’re halfway through it and I’m going to be a little bit bummed when it’s over, because it’s sounding great," Kozelek enthuses. "But we’ll be going to Europe in mid-May for three weeks. We’ll get to play some outdoor festivals there and some nice theaters." The trek comes in support of Sun Kil Moon’s 2003 Jetset debut, "Ghosts of the Great Highway," which topped U.S. college radio charts earlier this year. Kozelek and company had only five rehearsals together before the tour, which is featuring everything from re-arranged "Ghosts" tracks and Red House Painters favorites to Kozelek solo cuts and a cast of covers (the Cars’ "All Mixed Up," Modest Mouse’s "Never Ending Math Equation," AC/DC’s "Bad Boy Boogie"). "It’s a really a matter of these guys being great musicians," Kozelek stresses. "The string players have been playing since they were three years old! They’re such great players that we learned three or four songs each rehearsal, and that was it." Prior to visiting Europe, Kozelek has four solo acoustic shows on his schedule in mid-April as makeups for performances he was previously forced to postpone. Sun Kil Moon is also weighing an offer to perform at the Bonnaroo festival in June, which Kozelek says would likely be the group’s last U.S. show for the year. "We’re all having a lot of fun, so if something came up where we had four shows offered to us in Australia or Japan, I could see everyone taking a week off from their jobs to do it," he says. As for the status of Red House Painters, Kozelek says he won’t rule out making another album with the group, but cautions that nothing concrete has been discussed. The quartet returned in 2001 with "Old Ramon" (Sub Pop) after a five-year absence, and drummer Anthony Koutsos and bassist Jerry Vessel both contributed to "Ghosts of the Great Highway." "We’ve never been a band that works really hard and tours year in and year out," Kozelek says. "Red House Painters tends to work on a record for a long time, take a break, go on tour for three weeks in Europe and the U.S., and then we’re done for a year or two."
