background

 Nevsky Prospekt___

Finally finished (the first draft of) the piece I’m premiering at the Stone on February 3 with Toby and Bodie. It’s based on a story by Gogol. I added a new page that talks about it in more detail.

 On the Road___

Kayo Dot’s 2009 tour is now underway, and we have the excellent fortune of opening for Secret Chiefs 3 during our westward leg. Then we’ll spend a couple weeks recording in Seattle before heading back. Complete tour dates on the band’s myspace page.

 Part the Second___

The maudlin of the Well reunion recording is now officially released! Because the recording costs were entirely covered by fan donations, we are able to release it free for everyone. Listen or download at http://maudlinofthewell.net!

 Benjie Messer’s site live___

The new http://benjiemesser.com is now live—get the latest show dates, media clips, and music news from the Arizona-based multi-instrumentalist and film composer.

 New motW recording in progress___

It’s really happening… today marks the second week of the maudlin of the Well reunion recording.
