Pitchfork: Wilco's Kotche and Cline, Alone, Together

Wilco's Kotche and Cline, Alone, Together

Hey, check it out-- two Pitchfork Music Festival artists performing together alone for the first time!

Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline are scheduled to make their debut performance as a duo (so no Wilco) this Saturday at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater.

The appearance, titled "Alone & Together", will premiere at 8:00pm, with Kotche and Cline each playing a solo set and later joining forces to bring the noise as a pair.

Those unable to make it to the gig can see the guys separately at our fest's Biz 3 stage on Sunday.

In addition to the two dates mentioned above, Kotche will drop by New Berlin, Wisconsin's Cascio Interstate Music on the 29 to talk about his latest solo album, Mobile. He will also rock Newark, New Jersey's Modern Drummer Festival.
