St.Louis-based singer/songwriter Geoff Koch was in town at the end of July, playing shows at The Living Room and Crash Mansion. Geoff is touring behind his forthcoming disc If It Feel Good, Don't Do It and I caught up with him at Crash Mansion for a brief pre-show interview. Geoff was kind enough to also let me film part of his live set.

On Geoff's new disc, he is playing with an all-star line-up which includes former members of Uncle Tupelo and Tin Machine/Nine Inch Nails. The new disc is available through Geoff's MySpace page and will be available via iTunes and CD Baby in the near future. For anyone not familiar with Geoff, his music should appeal to fans of Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams and Big Star.

Here is the first part of the interview/live performance...



...and here is the second part (which includes a Big Star cover).
