Helloall,
Been keeping up mainly by photos these days. as tours roll on, words roll away and images just pass by.But, as for catching up and content and all,
We just had a most wonderful US tour with the Danish band Slaraffenland and the NYC troupe Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard. See one of Jeffrey’s songs below. Maybe we can post a Slaffenland tune tomorrow? tumblr only lets us post one a day.
The tour was a true gradient caravan of joy that landed in many small and far off places. Hudson NY with Dan Bunny and Williamsport PA at Site B and then finishing in a contemporary art museum in Lousiville KY. A great and wonderful few weeks. Slaraffenland even joined us on stage each night to play horns, sing, drum. Here is an audience video I scraped up from an Ithaca show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHDCdBybzRo
That entire show can be downloaded off our new archive.org! page here: http://www.archive.org/details/akronfamily2009-09-16.aud.flac16
In the midst of this amazing tour we stopped off on the Borscht Belt to participate in the Flaming Lips curated ATP. It was a great weekend with one of the most mind/body/soul altering performances we have ever seen by the Boredoms. We also got to participate in Oneida’s 10.5 hour performance on Sunday. We had the coveted early slot at noon. See more here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8RXkPdCKlY&feature=related
Many good things are coming too. Europe in November and Australia/NZ in December. A new video project. Also taking submissions soon for the Woody Project we are doing. Stay tuned. Stay in touch.
All our love, Seth. Akron/Family
