SHELLS video
About a month ago SHELLS opened for the Rainbow Vomit Family Band and Minus 9 at the historic Arbor Vitae loft in Ann Arbor. I asked my longtime friend and bandmate Charlie Slick to play the lights for me (as Sagitrronics, his new electronics company). Thanks to Andy Gabrysiak for shooting this.
Love Songs For Lamps - Believer Magazine compilation / roadshow
LOTS OF NEWS OVER HERE! Apologies for the long delay since the last update.
Since then, we have
- gone to NYC with Damned Dogs
- gone on tour with Saturday Looks Good to Me
- gone up to the UP with Swimsuit
- organized and played a bunch of cool gigs here in Michigan
Releases have slowed down, but that's ok. We have more coming soon.
More on all that later. But now some more exciting news!
LOVE SONGS FOR LAMPS compilation
OLD NIGHT is featured on the Love Songs For Lamps cassette compilation that our friend Calvin Johnson put together for the Believer Magazine. I'm really honored and excited to be a part of it. (OLD NIGHT is a cassette I did a while ago (Ginkgo #6), and since that time I have started playing solo shows as SHELLS, which is pretty similar)
This is what the magazine looks like! You can read the liner notes and other stuff at the link above. I've been listening to the compilation a lot, it's great!
LOVE SONGS FOR LAMPS roadshow
In conjunction with the release of the Believer Music Issue, they have also organized a roadshow with performers from the compilation! This is also in celebration of the 30th anniversary of K Records. Calvin asked me to play the New York show, so I'm headed out there tomorrow!
