I have been getting a band together to start playing out new songs - so in the fall, be prepared to see me with a band. 
 
Also, just starting to announce my September tour with Marissa Nadler. She is a great singer/songwriter and I am looking forward to it. 

 
 

The Chris Knox Benefit at Le Poisson Rouge Has Already Raised $40,545

 



Which is to say that the May 6th show, featuring Yo La Tengo, the Clean, Jeff Mangum, and a bunch of other people is way beyond sold out--even at $75 per ticket. The indie start-up for indie start-ups, Kickstarter, hosted the bidding, and you can still give money there--as little as a dollar--to support ailing Tall Dwarfs frontman and New Zealand rock godfather Chris Knox, who suffered a horrendous stroke last summer from which he's still recovering. It won't get you into the show, but it's a pretty easy way to give back to a guy who has already given a lot of people an awful lot. [Kickstarter]

 Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang's music career started with modest goals but grew to incorporate
 one of the most influential bands of the 80s (Galaxie 500), a string of duo albums on Sub Pop records 
 throughout the 90's and collaborations with some of the most adventurous rock musicians playing today.
 
 This special evening begins with the first-ever theater screening of Naomi films from the
Factory 25 DVD release Damon & Naomi: 1001 Nights, a comprehensive video
anthology of the duo. The screening is followed by a Q&A moderated by Haden
Guest, Director of the Harvard Film Archive, with Damon & Naomi and Michio Kurihara of the legendary Japanese band Ghost, who is featured in the film. 
 
After the Q&A, join us in the mainstage for Damon & Naomi in concert with Kurihara.  I will be opening the evening and I just feel so lucky to be a part of all this.
 
This is a very special night indeed.

October 27, 2009

After a few days rest from touring with Great Lake Swimmers, I toured with Rain Machine. I had such a great time. They are such beautiful people. Kyp, Andy, Heidi, Carmen, and Ben took me under their wing and encouraged me so much. Thank you guys! I am so excited for your tour with The Pixies!!!!!!

Now that I am home for a while, I am playing some shows in the New York area and will be recording some demos to prepare to record a new album in the winter/spring.
It's definitely time to hide/hibernate.

I've been reading Rilke and Anreas-Salome, A Love Story in Letters, and it is helping realize that it is the loving people I surround myself with who help me become a better person and writer.

"I want to greet no bird that does not know the way to your window and drink from no brook that has not once tasted your image." - RMR
