Invisible Ocean Festival

THIS

IS HAPPENING HERE:

If you are anywhere in or near California this weekend (9/25) then we recommend that you take a trip to the Sierra foothills to take part in the INVISIBLE OCEAN FESTIVAL, that our friend Eli has risen. It is a true community event with many performers including: Daniel Higgs, Ruthann Friedman, Beat Beat Whisper, Mariee Sioux, Helene Renaut, Moore Brothers, Soft Shells, Jeff Manson… AND, it is just a hop skip and a jump from the renewing Yuba River (photo by Daren Wilson). Purchase your tickets – which include camping and dinner – and learn more here.


Sword+Sandals Release Celebration Part II: Joseph Childress, WR/DS, Pillars & Tongues, The Up Died Sound

Come celebrate once more the release of Sword + Sandals debut studio LP, Good & Plenty tomorrow night! It will be a super night for Empty Cellar, with three label artists on the same stage. In a way, it is a double record release show between Sword + Sandals (represented by WR/DS (words)) and Pillars & Tongues (on tour from Chicago in support of Lay of Pilgrim Park). The night will also feature Joseph Childress and New Yorkers, the Up Died Sound. The evening will be capped with the debut screening of the latest Chasing the Moon Video Podcast featuring Birds and Batteries; so in a way, it is a triple release show.

New in store: Sword And Sandals / Vholtz / Woman’s Worth / Ettrick, Cassette

Brought to you by Two Thousand Tapes and ZUM: This tape was an attempt to document the bourgeoning 2006/2007 skronk-punk scene in the Bay Area. The material from all four bands (Ettrick / Sword + Sandals / Vholtz / Woman’s Worth) came from recorded live sets in mid-2007. It took over two and a half years for this to finally come out. Includes a brilliant 5 color 18 panel (10 1/2″ x 15″) fold out poster by Paul Morgan. On pro-duplicated printed cassettes

Sword and Sandals – John Dwyer, Randy Lee Sutherland, Shaun O’Dell

Also, check out what Kimberly Chun at the San Francisco Bay Guardian said about their latest EP, Duck, Duck, Goose! out now on Empty Cellar Records.

“Produced by the Fresh and Onlys’ Wymond Miles, the new Sandwitches EP, Duck, Duck, Goose! (Empty Cellar/Secret Seven) plunges even deeper into the shadows, tackling “Baby Mine,” Fresh and Onlys’ honcho Tim Cohen’s “Rock of Gibraltar,” and other eerie lullabies with confidence and tangible vision.”

Pillars & Tongues Western States Tour Begins Today

If you live in the western portion of the United States of America, then Pillars and Tongues will probably be performing within earshot of your home this month. Scan the dates below and mark your calendar. This is the first Pillars and Tongues tour in the US since the release of Lay of Pilgrim Park, and it comes not a moment too soon. Rumor has it, they have already finished recording the next album.

Pillars and Tongues are a beautiful experience live. They have performed over 250 concerts in the past three years throughout the U.S., Canada, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Each performance weaves composition and improvisation into unique golden braid.
