Denison and The Trouble with Sweeney are both making preparations for their tour. Denison plays a date on 12 September and the two bands will be traveling together starting on 13 September for a few days. Be sure to catch them together if you are nearby. Their schedules separate for now, with plans to travel more together in November on the West Coast. Both Denison and The Trouble with Sweeney will be touring heavily all through September, October, and November.
It was a very busy and exciting weekend. Friday, I went to an art closing that happened at the Reset Gallery. There have been discussions about having some more interesting music/experimental events in this space. Saturday was an all day benefit show at Liberty Lands park where The Trouble with Sweeney played with bands like Bardo Pond, Strapping Fieldhands, Sola (members of Need New Body), and more. Lots of friends were in attendance and the refreshments were cheap and plentiful. Sunday, I was subjected, for the first time, to a late night viewing of Six String Samurais. Oh yeah.
Tonight is a trip to Brooklyn to see The Microphones at Pete’s Candy Store.
Johnathon has left Seattle en route to London. He and Nic will be practicing for the Unwed Sailor European Tour that happens in October. Matt Putman will be joining them in a couple of weeks. Unwed Sailor’s The Faithful Anchor will be available from stores again starting tomorrow, 10 September. Look for the cd in a record shop near you.
