Wow sorry no update for 3 months! Yarnlazer took the summer off kinda. Everything from the spring/early summer 07 is sold out on our end. One can always try the various little online shops that specialize in these sorts of things, someone somewhere has something you might be able to purchase and enjoy.
Valet has been hard at work on a new record for Kranky, which will probably come out early next year. And she's got an awesome new seven-inch of the songs 'Fire' b/w 'Beach Gaze' on the new Burnt Brown Sounds Label out of Chicago. Aquarius has some now.
Two new White Rainbow releases are about to drop. Prism of Eternal Now CD on Kranky comes out October 1st. The double-vinyl gatefold fancy version on Marriage is available NOW. Secondly, the sequel to SunShifts called SKY DRIPS DRIFTS is coming out on States Rights very very very soon. White Rainbow will be on tour with Dirty Projectors and YACHT on the west coast in early September 2007. Check the white rainbow page or myspace or virb for the dates.
Valet, White Rainbow and Rob Walmart are all playing the second annual Halleluwah Festival here in Portland. This time Aug 31st thru Sept 2nd at Holocene, 21+. We play our own sets on friday the 31st and then on sunday the 2nd we play with Damo Suzuki as part of a portland improv super group of 'sound carriers' as part of Damo's ever expanding Network.
Also, this fall Valet and White Rainbow are playing an all-day festival at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, California with a bunch of cool groups including Whysp, Akron Family and other weirdos. The show is called "((3D)) PICNIC: A Musical and Visual Arts Gathering." Saturday October 13th. Get in if you fit in! White Rainbow will be in full vibe-hut healing prism audio/video formation, after dusk.
Lots of famly-band collaboration going on all summer. I just helped T Greenwood and the JOMF crew finish up a new record called 'Valley of Fire', which should drop from the Textile label by year's end. Both Honey and I have been playing lots of cool jams with Adrian Orange and Curtis and anybody else who stops by the Marriage Records Official Jam Room and Club House upstairs from Yarnlazer HQ. Honey's been working with M. Evan Burden of Silentist on her new record, which is rad and cool. She's also working on starting a new vintage store in portland tentatively titled Rad Summer. No direct relation but also rad is my deeply un-official title of Assistant Regional Manager (Northwest and parts of Asia) of Rad Records Skateboards and Other Sundries, a new sub-label of Marriage Records curated by Kyle Field of Little Wings. People should check out the first release on Rad, Little Wings' Soft Pow'r.
