Sounds Like2 Foot Yard shatters the boundaries between art song and pop song by merging the visceral power of rock with the intimacy and warmth of chamber music. Violin, cello, voice, and drums combine to create a cacophony of harmonic (im)balance culled from an astonishing array of musical influences, from acoustic punk to the twang of old country love ballads. This trio features Tzadik recording artist Carla Kihlstedt (Tin Hat, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, The Book of Knots) on violin and vocals, Marika Hughes (Charming Hostess, Vienna Teng) on cello and vocals, and Shahzad Ismaily (Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dogs, Secret Chiefs 3) on percussion and guitar, and guarantees an off-kilter ride through the worlds of drama and melody. Combining the harmonic breadth of contemporary classical music and the spontaneity of improvisation, their diverse musical backgrounds come together in one cohesive and unique voice as 2 Foot Yard performs genre-breaking instrumentals and vocal miniatures.

In the spirit of community and paying it forward, we’ll be donating $.50 from every copy of BORROWED ARMS sold in the US both to Food Change in Harlem, NYC and to the Canyon School organic gardening project in Canyon, CA to help promote community-based education and awareness of sustainable agriculture and nutrition as well as daily free meals to those in need.

Coucou!
Nous sommes un groupe humanitaire ayant besoin de soutien ! Un concert exceptionnel a lieu le JEUDI 21 JANVIER 2010 au ZEBRE DE BELLEVILLE à PARIS à 19h30 (places disponibles à la fnac), l’occasion de se rencontrer !
Nous avons besoin de soutien de 2 manières :
1-Envoie moi ton e mail en mp que je puisse t’envoyer le flyer pour que tu puisses le diffuser (SYMPA) ;
2-Viens au concert en prenant ta place à la fnac, découverte ! (TRES SYMPA).
JC de KITOSLEV

TOUS les bénéfices de notre nouvel album, en coup de cœur à la fnac, sont reversés à l’association TCHENDUKUA, chargée de racheter des terres aux indiens Kogis de Colombie !
Donc merci à tous ceux qui feront avancer ce projet !
En attendant, vous pouvez télécharger tout l'album au profit de l'association sur le seul vrai site de musique équitable www.fairtrade-music.com/kitoslev !

Here is a plain yet enticing study in pocket psychogeography, cheap, premeditated and sentimental.
The share of a click is most welcome, though not compulsory in any way.
