Wheat play US dates, Glastonbury Festival
15 June 2000

Wheat, the enigmatic Boston pop trio of Brendan Harney, Scott Levesque, and Ricky Brennan, stage a tiny tour of the US starting tomorrow evening at Gabe’s Oasis in Iowa City, playing three more shows through Sunday. On tour they’re a quartet, joined by collaborator Kenny Madaras.
    On the 24th they head back to Europe (where they recently toured) for some shows including the Glastonbury festival, then swing ’round for a performance at New York city’s Knitting Factory on 7 July with Jack Dragonetti a.k.a. Jack Drag.
    The band’s wide ranging approach has prompted various members of the press to liken them to a spectrum of interesting artists including My Bloody Valentine, Belle & Sebastian, Sparklehorse, and The Jesus & Mary Chain. Dave Fridmann (Mogwai, Mercury Rev, Elf Power, The Flaming Lips) produced their most recent album, 1999’s Hope And Adams.
