[/caption]Melissa Auf der Maur, who is running the Basilica Industria space in Hudson with Tony Stone, announced on WGXC today that the space will open April 28 with a reading from Will Oldham. On Shannekia McIntosh's "Pure Moods" show at noon to promote her show Saturday night at Helsinki Hudson the former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist announced the opening. Oldham will read from a new audio book, the first in a series from the Drag City record label, and it features local roots. The book is from Hudson resident Rudy Wurlitzer, and is called "Slow Fade." Wurlitzer's partner Lynn Davis, a famous photographer in her own right, will provide visual accompaniment for the evening. Basilica will then host a regional culinary festival centered on ramps, a local root similar to a leek or scallion that is currently the current sensation of the food fashion set. An archived recording of the interview is up on the WGXC website right now or here.
