The GRAVE TRIO is the name we've given the former Roma di Luna rhythm section of myself, Ryan Lovan, and Ben Durrant. We've been playing instrumental music ourselves, and have been backing up Channy Leaneagh (Polica) and Duluth singer songwwriter extraordinaire Toby Thomas Churchill (The Alrights) for shows this winter. For St Patrick's Day, (this Saturday March 17) Ben and I head to Duluth to play an opening set with Toby for RETRIBUTION GOSPEL CHOIR's show at the new Tycoons venue downtown. Check out this brilliant video for Toby's song "Belong".
I recently wrapped up a 3-week residency with Choreographer Emily Johnson and Catalyst at the Maggie Allesse National Center For Choreography at Florida State University (MANCC), working on our new dance piece, "Niicugni (Listen)". Collaborating with musician / composer Bethany Lacktorin, dancer Aretha Aoki and Lighting designer Heidi Eckwall, Niicugni is the second part of the trilogy that began with The Thank-you Bar, and will premiere in Fall 2012 with tours thoughout 2013-14. The new piece features a set of hand-sewn fish-skin lanterns, eight of which function as speakers for our installation soundtrack.
BLACKFISH, my experiemental improvisation duo with Pedal Steel man Joel Pickard, finally released our TYB Tour Collection of 8 CDs last FALL 2011, with special concerts in Minneapolis and New York to celebrate. (Click on links for more info) The limited edition, individually numbered and letter-pressed CD packages were designed by Scott Ponik and look amazing. They're nowavailable for purchase through the Catalyst online store as either individual discs or as the 8-CD box set.. There are also new videos from our various BLACKFISH shows on the Catayst vimeo page, with more to be added soon. (Headphones recommended) You can also listen and/or download whole concerts or individual BF "tracks" at our bandcamp page. The final installment in the TYB Tour Collection, BF09: New York will have a spring 2012 release with a show to celebrate in Portland, OR. We're also honored to have collaborated with acclaimed Irish Choreographer John Scott on the score to his new dance, Body Duet., which is getting rave reviews for recent premieres in Dublin. Body Duet features tracks from several of the BLACKFISH TYB Tour collection, as well as the track "Ghost Dog" from Sans Le Systeme.
LATEDUSTER returned for our first show in over 6 years, performing at the Cedar Cultural Center on Friday Dec 16 2011 as part of a great DOSH bill. We performed a brand newsong, "Transformador", as well as several old tunes. It was a lot of fun to "Dust" off the cobwebs and play with everyone again. And Mike Lewis drove in straight from his Eau Claire session with Alicia Keyes to join us for a crushing encore of "Milovanova" and "Gare de Lyon". Great photos and links at our new Lateduster facebook page. Stay tuned for more developments....
UNGUIDED, the Bonnie Prince Billy-meets-Dinosaur Jr. band I'm in with ex Roma di Luna guitarist Ben Durrant celebrated the release of our 4th full length CD Visible From Space in February. Listen and / or download tracks at our bandcamp site.
Roma di Luna has disbanded, sadly. Channy's new band, POLICA, is the hottest thing in music, touring across the USA. Alexei's Kill The Vultures also have a new record they're about to release, and just completed a great tour with Atmosphere. Ben, Ryan and I are playing with Duluth singer-songwriter Toby Thomas Churchill (The Alrights) who recorded his incredible solo debut record DEATH with Ben at Crazy Beast. Several gigs with Toby in the coming months. (see gigs list below) Here's a clip of us performing "Ghost Dance" from our "Last" Roma show, without Alexei, in Luvurne, MN In October.
The Thank-you
Bar, the acclaimed dance + theater + music piece created with choreographer Emily Johnson and composer/musician Joel Pickard, continued touring last fall to NYC at New York Live Arts/ DTW Nov 9-12 to packed houses and rave reviews. Joel and I are touring nationally with the piece
and performing our music score live. We are also performing a series of companion concerts as
BLACKFISH - improvised duet installations
- in each city we tour the Thank-you Bar. Our first concert took place
in Tallahassee in February 2009, and was recorded for release as BF01: Tallahassee, the first of our TYB Tour CDs. You can listen and download whole records or individual BF tracks at our bandcamp page. Emily Johnson/ Catalyst & BLACKFISH were recently named 2010 "Artists of The Year" on the cover of City Pages, a surprise and real honor. In October, we received the"Best Performance" award at the 2011 Sage Awards. You can read a recent review from The Houston Chronicle here. You can also read a total spoiler review from the New York Times here.
