A special last-minute show has been added for Unwed Sailor and Sybris in Baltimore TONIGHT! at The Ottobar. You need to go if you are in the area. Mike S. from Soporus will be there. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Philadelphia show on Friday night at the Northstar. It was one of the noisiest Unwed Sailor sets I’d seen in a while and great to see them bringing the rock. Thanks to everyone who came out to the NYC show on Saturday at Piano’s. The set was equally good, but a bit less noisy. It was a special surprise to see my good friend Jan-Erik visiting from Copenhagen. I also helped myself to some deliciousness from the Doughnut Plant which just a few short blocks away.

Tonight, Efterklang at the Unitarian church sanctuary in Philadelphia. See you there, it’s going to be great. Soporus is going to be playing this Thursday, 29 May, at Circle Broad and Washington in Philadelphia with experimental acoustic noise improv group LATRALMAGOG. Unwed Sailor has made it to the west coast on their tour. They’ll be rocking the U.S. for over a month, be sure to see them. The Rhys Chatham concert in Williamsport was one of the best shows I’d ever seen. 100 guitarists from Williamsport’s Uptown Music Collective and various guest musicians played the various riffs and passages composed by Chatham who acted as the conductor. The venue, the Community Arts Center, is a beautiful old theater with amazing acoustics. The next night, the Uptown Music Collective held an after party show with David Daniel and Megafaun, whose members were part of the 100 guitar orchestra.
