After having some visa troubles TV Smith (of the Adverts) finally made it to the states to join up with the Jay Reatard tour. Smith played folk versions of Adverts songs with some banter about why he wrote the songs in between. Later in the night, Smith joined Reatard’s band to play Adverts classics like “Gary Gilmore’s Eyes” and “Bored Teenagers.” Photos of this and Reatard’s set coming soon.
