Clear Out My Mind From the Red Ponies' 1994 tour of Europe Recorded in Malmo, Sweden. Unreleased. Everything Fixed Is Killed - Red Ponies On 14/03/94 The Red Ponies (Dave McComb, Warren Ellis, Graham Lee, Bruce Haymes, Peter Luscombe and Michael Vidale) played a live session for Triple J radio. When the official tracks were done we cajoled Chris Thompson the engineer/producer into letting us play some more songs for the hell of it what with a Euro tour coming up soon. Here are three tracks from that session. I'd completely forgotten about this stuff until I found it on a cassette yesterday. Listening to it made me wonder what might have happened had Dave stayed healthy and kept this band together.
I think Warren turned up late because of other commitments as he only seems to be on Raining Pleasure. Actually, on second thoughts he must have had to leave early as this was a bit of a late one.
The version(s) of Everything Fixed Is Killed are presented here as an example of an early working version of a song that later appeared in a dramatic and more complete incarnation done by costar. There are two versions, the first one falls away after a promising start and we do another straight away that's much better as a whole. We (the Red Ponies) never did this song in live performance as far as I recall. It sounds like I had been listening to Robert Quine.

Woz When we played in Hultsfred in Sweden on our '94 tour of Europe Warren Ellis played a version of Memories that was so impassioned that he broke his fiddle. Dave hopefully asks the audience if anyone has any glue. The fiddle was temporarily repaired the next day by a craftsman in a violin shop in Stockholm. He had a leather apron and looked like an elf. He admonished Warren and told him he must respect the violin.
