ABOUT THE SHOW: Following the Chicago Intl. Movies & Music film fest screening of "I Often Dream of Trains in New York" and Q&A; with director John Edginton, Hitchcock returned to the intimate stage at Schuba's later that evening for sold out, one-man concert armed only with acoustic guitar, harmonica, soaring voice, and biting, spontaneous wit. Following a 90-minute set of Hitchcock songs old and new, Robyn delivered an encore featuring his take on signature songs by the Doors, Bob Dylan, and enigmatic Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. ABOUT THE CD: The Venus 3, Hitchcock’s backing band for "Propellor Time" (2010), once again features indie rock notables Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows) on bass and Bill Rieflin on drums (formerly of Ministry and Revolting Cocks), and making a rare appearance as a sideman, R.E.M.’s Peter Buck (on 12-string and acoustic guitars). Buck is co-writer of the album’s title track with Hitchcock. The CD is available now at: http://store.robynhitchcock.com/ This same VENUS 3 configuration of Buck, McCaughey, and Rieflin appears on Hitchcock’s 2006 release "Olé! Tarantula," and were featured in director John Edginton’s Sundance Channel/BBC Four documentary "Robyn Hitchcock: Sex, Food, Death… and Insects" (available at: www.amazon.com/Robyn-Hitchcock-Food-Death-Insects/dp/B000Y4ON6O ) A supergroup-worthy array of guest musicians collaborate with Hitchcock on "Propellor Time."
