Laila and Smitty at Barbes

This week I caught Kenny Warren's band Laila and Smitty at Barbes celebrating the release of their 2nd album. They're really pushing their avant-Americana style in new directions with more layered rhythms and some African-sounding textures reminiscent of tUnE-yArDs. Kenny's singing is understated but very emotionally direct. The band is great, and it was nice to hear Jeremiah Lockwood again on dobro, who was originally in the band before he moved to the west coast.

Hearing Things in the studio

Hearing Things went into the studio to start tracking our first full length album! So far the only recorded music we have is a 45-inch single we made before going on tour with Will Butler. It's now available through our Bandcamp page. Get yours now, they're sure to be collectible someday!

I brought both of my Yahama organs to the studio, here they are like a happy family.

The recording was done at BC Studios in Brooklyn, very cool place, slightly spooky vibe. I've heard rumors that it's haunted. Matt kind of looks like a ghost with a saxophone in this photo.

We found some old tapes lying in a pile that on closer inspection were from John Zorn's 1988 recording "Spy Vs. Spy". There were even little notes on the boxes about the different tapes with comments like "John didn't like it." 

Old Time Musketry Album Release Concert Tomorrow!!

It's happening! Tomorrow, Sunday April 5th at Cornelia St Cafe, sets at 8:30 and 10pm. We will be celebrating the release of our new album, "Drifter".
