Several DC musicians have teamed up on a special tribute 7" to Michel Pagliaro. The new 7" comes from a collective calling itself The Foreign Correspondents, featuring members of Ted Leo, Fugazi, Fake Names, and Obits.
The 7" covers "Lovin' You Ain't Easy" and "We're Dancin" and releases on April 5 via Outer Battery Records. It is the first in a series of 7" singles covering '70s artists.
Pagliaro called Montreal, Quebec home and released power-pop styled songs through the mid '60s and '70s.
“It’s going to be an amazing series of releases,” John Pastore of Outer Battery says. “Dave (Sweetapple) and I are both huge fans of Michel Pagliaro and we’ve been trying for years to reissue his first album from 1971 but with no luck. So, we started to wonder if we should record a couple of covers of our favourite songs, put it out, and hopefully catch his attention.”
