18/02/00  New York City, Tonic billed as Catherine Jauniaux, Bonnie Billy and Alan Licht

From Hank Shteamer: basically the songs were just these real long droney improvisations,
Will would play these john fahey style syncopated patterns, Licht would do some tasteful feedback,
and Catherine Jauniaux would just go nuts- when she sang words, they were in French and
otherwise she was just making these chirping and sucking and clicking noises.
Here was also this german looking tortured-artist type guy generating some pretty weird
generating some pretty weird samples from a couple of turntables.
Will'd make these moaning noises too, some of them seeming like they were inadvertent.
Then he played a few of his own songs with just Licht accompanying.
He changed the music completely and sort of made his music sound like the
group music- really droney, repetitive fingerpicked stuff.
"a sucker's evening" was in there, as was "more brother rides" but both were completely
unrecognizable musically.
He also played "little boy blue I", "carolyn" and a cover by Billy Mayhew
called "its a sin to tell a lie".
