A B3NSON FAMILY AFFAIR: LARKFEST 2009 SAMPLER
http://b3nson.net/larkfest
17 songs from our newly expanded rosters, featuring new and recently released jams from each of the 6 bands performing at Larkfest, and, obviously, 11 others. We sincerely hope you enjoy perhaps we'll see you at Larkfest! The weather's looking good!
greetings friend, I hope you'll consider checking out this show, it's
the most original that I've been a part of, and we'd love to have you;
Matthew
Loiacono (kamikaze hearts) and I have been working with two very
talented visual artists, Jason Antonelli and Ben Suhr, over the last
couple of months. Ben and Jason have taken our songs/lyrics, and
illustrated interpretations of them onto 3x5in "song cards". Matthew
and I have left all artistic vision up to the artists, offering no
input other than our music.
Now the REALLY neat part;
On
June 20th, Ben, Jason, Matthew and I will be sharing our art with the
good folks at the Bread and Jam Cafe. You (the audience member) will
have the opportunity to determine our setlist for us. Matthew and I
will be performing our songs round-robin style (one song apiece,
alternately) as they are drawn randomly from song buckets, whichever
song card you choose, we play it. As a bonus, you get to keep the song
card you choose as a souvenir of the evening, so you win in two ways-
you get an earful of original music and an eyeful of wonderful art.
Starts with an art opening from Suhr/Antonelli at 6:30 pm, music at 7:30. Hope you can make it!
aw seein' those videos from austin! looks like you had a great time down there! and got a really awesome response from the crowds down there!! congrats! hope to see ya in a couple weeks!
yeah, I didn't do that, Rich did. I don't know how that rumour got started. I hate techno. In fact, I hate keyboards, too. Come to think of it, I don't like music much either...
those barons can really shake it in that video. everyone thinks that video is really great. matt ferguson is so good at capturing the barons and putting techno music to it.
