Yo La Tengo is playing the FringeArts festival this fall, in yet another sign that the "Fringe" part of "FringeArts" is not entirely apropos anymore. From Philly.com:
The Hoboken-formed band will play a score alongside "The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller," a live documentary about the legendary architect. Academy Award-nominated director Sam Green (check out his fabulous "The Weather Underground") narrates while Yo La Tengo plays along.The film itself focuses on the Dymaxion Chronofile, Fuller's project to document everything about his life.
Tickets go on sale March 1. This is a performance that Yo La Tengo and Green have toured all over the country since 2012 — here's a video from a previous performance:
