The Raincoats & Angel Olsen - High And Wild

This collaboration occurred at a live gig the Raincoats and Angel Olsen played together in November 2016 in London.

One of those gigs where you think "I wish I'd seen that".

Helen McCookerybook posted a suitably enthusiastic review on her blog at the time.

The Raincoats // The Void

This was the first Raincoats song I ever heard and, again, it was thanks to John Peel. He got Hole in for a Peel Session in 1993, and one of their tracks was a cover version of 'The Void' so, a few days ahead of the Hole session going out, he dug out the Raincoats original version, which appears on their debut self titled album from 1979.

I liked it because it sounded so strange and discordant, and slightly mournful, and I liked the slightly skittery nature of it as well. I don't think any of those qualities translated with the Hole version but then, that might have been the point.

Raincoats - "Lola" featuring Viv Albertine

This is to keep you going until I have my punk videos organised properly.

A rare live collaboration between The Raincoats and the then fairly newly solo Viv Albertine.
