Friday, June 27, 2008 Chicagoans! Unwed Sailor is playing tomorrow at the Belmont Arts & Music Festival with Sybris, Maritime, and Cursive. They're on in the late afternoon. See you there for a good time. I intend to be there with a belly filled with some delicious Hot Dougs. Unwed Sailor are still on tour, bringing the rock with Sybris tonight in Detroit. Chicago will be Sybris' welcome home show and the last show of the tour. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 10:18 AM CST Monday, June 23, 2008 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. Mango and Raspberry were the special flavors of the week. It was a long night in NYC and we were happy to escape, leaving Brooklyn in our wake after watching the sunrise from an apartment rooftop. Bob Dylan and The Band were playing our soundtrack as we crossed the Verrazano Bridge in early morning. It's been great meeting the guys and girl from Sybris and they bring the noisy rock in a sort of Sonic Youth inspired way with more powerful vocals. I'll be seeing the show in Chicago this Saturday if all goes well. From our good friend John of Half-Handed Cloud: "I'm in London England, getting ready for a performance here this Thursday (June 26th) in the basement of The Foundry in collaboration with the Henningham Family Press--independent book-art printers. I'll be leading brand new Half-handed Cloud sing-a-long songs while dressed in a way that suggests a bird beak as a record needle and standing upon a giant spinning 12-foot turntable. The Henningham Family Press will also be doing some live printmaking. Those in the UK, see if you can come to this FREE event: Thu. June 26th: London, UK, The Foundry (86 Great Eastern St.) FREE 7:30pm www.henninghamfamilypress.co.uk" This performance is to feature songs that are to be included on a forthcoming Half-Handed Cloud one-sided LP. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 10:42 AM CST Friday, June 20, 2008 Unwed Sailor is in Philadelphia tonight at the Northstar at 9pm with Sybris and Mercury Radio Theater. See you there. They will also be in NYC tomorrow at Piano's and I should be up for that show, as well. They're on the east coast for this part of the tour and then heading towards Chicago for next weekend. Be sure to see them play. The Bosque Brown record is finally mixed and we're awaiting the final mixdown versions. We're aiming for an October 2008 release and will be doing cd/LP versions. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 08:47 AM CST Friday, June 6, 2008 Happy National Doughnut Day! I plan to celebrate with a Yum Yum Donut Peanut Butter Cup, peanut butter filling with chocolate icing and peanuts. Tomorrow, The Commissioner, Ethan, and maybe Cakeator will belatedly celebrate with some delicious treats at the Doughnut Plant in NYC en route to see William Basinski play at the ISSUE Project Room in Brooklyn. Visit The Blognut for updates on all things doughnut. Unwed Sailor is still on tour, be sure to see them when they rock through your town. Yndi Halda are going to be in the US to tour. They're arriving in late July and staying through most of August. Dates are in the process of being booked. Emperor X is going to be at the M Room in Philadelphia next Thursday, 12 June. Do not miss him if you live in the city. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 11:45 AM CST [ Archives ]
