Miscellaneous springtime news
Some pseudorandom bits to post on the blog:
Ben Ratliff from the New York Times seemed to really enjoy a recent Glissando bin Laden show at the Issue Project Room.
I’ve taken up the accordion lately, and have been having a great time. I’ve been playing that and the violin at a lot of Pearl and the Beard‘s recent New York shows. They’re one of my favorite bands, so it’s a real honor to play with these musicians.
Tatters & Rags will be releasing our first single (on vinyl) this Spring. The release party is on May 8th at Glasslands Gallery. We will be rounding out the rest of May with an every-Wednesday residency at Pete’s Candy Store (shows on the 12th, 19th, and 26th). The show on May 12th will also feature a performance by Poo Poo Jim and Pee Pee Girl, my brand new project of (often inappropriate) songs with the incredibly talented Jocelyn Mackenzie of Pearl and the Beard.
In a turn of events that I’m sure would surprise my professors from college, I’ve made my second cameo appearance in a book from a university press. This time, my tattoo of John Cage’s infamous silent piece is featured in Kyle Gann’s new book, No Such Thing as Silence: John Cage’s 4’33
