I sometimes have the pleasure of singing backup alongside Felicity Williams (Bahamas) on Alex Lukashevsky’s deft songs. And apparently, I sometimes have the good fortune do so in LA and Japan.

Here are our tour dates:

04/26 Santa Monica, CA Groundwork (open rehearsal)
04/29 Sendai Arabaki Festival
04/30 Sendai Retro Back Page
05/01 Tokyo Nanahari
05/02 Kyoto Urbanguild
05/03 Nagoya K*d Japan
05/04 Tokyo Strobe Cafe
05/04 Tokyo Ongakunojikan
05/06 Silverlake, CA TBA

And here we are at a Montreal La Blogotheque Pocket Party.

Alex’s record, Too Late Blues, comes out on Idee Fixe Records very soon.

NXNE 2011 TORONTO

daniela — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 04:19:36 +0000

The Out Of This Spark showcase on Thursday June 16th at the Music Gallery will be our last Toronto show of the summer (although we do have plans to bring out sLowblink– our classic slowdance cover band– from the archives as the air heats up, so watch for that).

We play at 7pm sharp, followed by Evening Hymns and Forest City Lovers.

Here is what NOW magazine and SPIN have to say about it all.

This Guy Found His Ambergris

Ambergris cocktail.

As my friend Hannah Barr-DiChiara pointed out, this guy found his ambergris.

Sam Fleischner’s Ukiah

Now that it’s Mother’s May, I figure we can speak freely about last May (2010). Last May Dave Wilson put on a happening in Ukiah, California. I sat in a wooden hut waiting for people to happen by, then I would sing personalized improvised looped-vocal moments for them, one person at a time. I called it the no-kissing booth. Sam called it the Sun Hut. This video also features Felix from the Ambergris Video.

The National Parks Project

Cape Breton Highlands (or, California East)

In October I joined Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers), Old Man Leudecke, filmmaker Keith Behrman, and a documentary film crew on a trip to Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia. We had to write songs, record them, and score a short film in five days’ time while camping in some pretty wildernessy wilderness. Our trip was one of thirteen (to parks all across Canada) that make up the National Parks Project. The fruits of these trips are many-fold:

1. A television series on Discovery HD Canada (sadly, not available in the US)

2. Screenings and live shows all across Toronto and Canada of the short films made in the parks. Snowblink will play live opening up two of these screenings, both at the Royal in Toronto, on May 19th & 20th.

3. A double LP featuring songs written in the parks (launches May 19th).

I slept in a tent through a seaside near-hurricane for this, and therefore, for you. I am glad! Enjoy exploring the bounty of the parks.

LADYBUG

My friend Terri Loewenthal (director of the Ambergris video and mom of Felix, the poster child of Long Live) is responsible for convincing hundreds of ladybugs to explore my face in the oakland hills last fall. If this does not ring a bell you have not seen our video for Ambergris.

Terri is sent this along today, nearly a year after our video came out:
