PARPLAR • available now on younggodrecords.com


All booking now done through Leafy Green. Please email todd@leafygreen.com Publicity by Howlin' Weulf, http://howlinwuelf.com/ Michael Gira says, "Larkin is a magic woman. She lives in the mountains in north Georgia. She collects bones, smooth stones, and she casts spells. She worships the moon. She is very beautiful, and her voice is like the passionate cry of a beast heard echoing across the mountains just after a tremendous thunder storm, when the air is alive with electricity. I don't consider her folk though - she is pre folk, even pre- music. She is the sound of the eternal mother and the wrath of all women. She goes barefoot everywhere, and her feet are leathery and filthy. She wears jewels, glitter, and glistening insects in her hair. She's great!" Young God Records Larkin Grimm was born in Memphis, Tennessee four years after Elvis died. Her parents were members of a community of energy healers called The Holy Order of MANS. When this cult disbanded, the Grimm family moved to the Appalachian Mountains so that Larkin's father could devote himself to the practice of learning old time fiddle tunes and her Mother could carry on her mission of bringing light to the world through singing hippie values to the children of her hillbilly friends. It was a sweet existence. The water was pure. The air was clean. The food was delicious. There was a spirit of oneness in that Appalachian valley, but soon the exhaust and consumption of the nearby cities began to creep up into the mountains and Larkin, nearly a grown woman, took off with bitterness and anger in her heart trying to find the source of this pollution, to search and destroy. She charmed her way into elite institutions of higher learning - Yale, Harvard, and Brown - and she was mega grossed out by the "education" they were selling. So she hitchhiked across Alaska, staring down bears and grizzly old men, she ducked in and out of communes and cults of many kinds, she sang songs to hipsters in fashionable cities, she spent days locked in mental institutions and in jail cells, fell in and out of love, in and out of consciousness, in and out of sobriety and society, just searching for the answers. And every time she thought she knew the answer, she wrote a song about it, and sang the song until she realized she didn't really know. And Larkin is somewhere searching still, and if you believe in her, someday soon she will find the answer and sing it for you. !

Hello Faithful followers!!  Sorry for the disappearing act. Maggie cracked her head open during a basement show, so we’ve been out(no pun intended) for awhile. She is almost better so when that happens we’ll be back in the recording studio. In the meantime, we did manage to convince our buddies at myspace.com/onryeproductions to let us do the video game SFX that are on their newest episode.

If you are interested in having a song or songs of yours featured in future episodes please send mp3s to onryecontact@gmail.com

They are looking for all genres. Yes, all.

You're the only person I've met who can make a dulcimer sound like a sitar. That's called universal talent I believe.

A wonderful fact to reflect on,

that every human creature is

constituted to be that profound

secret and mystery to every other
