I got an email advertising the performance at the Curran Theater here in San Francisco by a group I haven't thought about in years, the Magnetic Fields.
Curran Theater - San Francisco
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of its release, the Magnetic Fields will perform 69 Love Songs—the
3-disc masterwork that marked a significant breakthrough for the
American band— for the first time in over two decades. I love almost all
the songs on this massive work but, as usual, I have a favorite, Underwear!
Stephin Merritt is the leader of the group and has written the scores for the films Pieces of April in 2003 and Showtunes in 2006.

The
select run of dates will take place in Spring of 2024, with
performances in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Greater Boston and Los
Angeles and will feature all the players from the 1999 triple disc,
including Claudia Gonson, John Woo, Sam Davol, Shirley Simms and
composer Stephin Merritt, joined now by recent members Chris Ewen and
Anthony Kaczynski. The Magnetic Fields will play the album as it was originally performed in the early 2000’s: in order over 2 nights, April 28th and 29th, 2024.
