John Roderick is the distinctive voice of The Long Winters, as well as a good friend of Nada Surf. Nada Surf had promised that their three-night run of NYC full-album performances would feature “special guests,” and Roderick’s appearance at The Bell House for the second of these gigs (which we also recorded) was the most welcome of all. Although the rest of his band did not make the trip out from the Pacific Northwest, Roderick performed many of The Long Winters’ most beloved songs as well as a new number, “Not Moving to Portland.” The acoustic setting highlighted Roderick’s unique voice and his talents as a lyricist, as well as his great sense of humor! Roderick closed out his set with Nada Surf as his backing band on “The Commander Thinks Aloud.”
Like the Nada Surf recording, this recording was made with a combination of the DPA microphones and a stereo soundboard feed, for excellent sound quality.
