To mark the 2nd anniversary of Mimi Parker's passing there'll be a Low tribute night at the Star and Shadow in Newcastle. The night will be a benefit for Ovarian Cancer Action and will feature Nev Clay, The Last Path, Espaniel, Daughters of the American Revolution, Amateur Trepanning, James Grey and Lucy Valentine. Starting at 6.00 the cinema will be showing Closer Than That, documenary film by Mark Gartman from 2004.
Shot over the course of two years, Closer Than That finds the members of Duluth “slo-core” band Low (Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker, and Zak Sally) going through old photos, enduring awkward press interviews, serenading the baby, navigating traffic jams, and occasionally coming across observations on music, spirituality, and life. Director Marc Gartman traveled with them on tour across the US and Europe, capturing not only Low’s performances, but also quiet moments backstage and in transit between gigs. Before one of their European shows, Alan is asked how the band would like to be introduced. He answers, “slow…quiet…really nice people with a baby.” This video document gives us a glimpse of the very real, understated folks behind the great minimal rock band.
