COME OUT AND SEE US: YOU DESERVE IT.
What a time to be living in. There are earthquakes, ice buckets, incurable diseases and wars galore. I believe we all deserve to turn our minds to the more sublime for a few hours and enjoy some good music. As a wise man once said, “There is much pain in the world but not in this room,” and we’re hoping to bring that kind of spirit to Muchmore’s in Williamsburg a week from tonight, where we can all gather for some quiet ethereal sounds and relax with a glass of wine, pint of beer or mug of tea.

To that end we’ll be performing an acoustic set as a full band for the first time since we did a radio appearance over eleven years ago. We’ve got a brand new tune in a funky time signature and we’re pulling out a cover song we’ve never performed together before. We’ve re-worked a lot of our full-volume wall-of-noise joints into new delicate arrangements, and Thursday’s the only chance you’ll ever have to hear them (probably).
We’re honored to be appearing alongside the lovely and talented Sondra Sun-Odeon as well as the lovely and talented Jasmine Dreame Wagner, fresh off their coast-to-coast tour here from Los Angeles. Welcome them home and come enjoy a cupful of divine reprieve with us next week.
SOME WORDS ABOUT OUR TALENTED FRIENDS, WITH WHOM WE’LL BE SHARING THE STAGE NEXT WEEK:
“Epically divine sounds transcend minds in the musical dreamworld of singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist Sondra Sun-Odeon. Her impeccably orchestrated debut solo album, Ætherea, is a truly delicate thing of beauty replete with a psych-folk tapestry (a la Angels of Light) soaring and weeping behind her.”
— Brad Cohan, Village Voice
Sondra Sun-Odeon
