It is there that Ryan Adams recently held an exhibition of his paintings, bringing along Fab Stroke, Marianne Faithfull and former Smashing Pumpkin Melissa Auf Der Maur to the launch.
Ryan Adams also plays guitar on ‘The Fine Art Of Self-Destruction’, and the ubiquitous Auf Der Maur also pops with backing vocals. It was recorded in six days earlier this summer. The album was released in October.
