There is a lazy band of loose-limbed artists, bohemians, actors, perverts and degenerates who accompany Larkin and lend her tiny pieces of their soul for the greater good of the music:
Orion Rigel Domisse: vocals, banjo, and uke.
Brian Carpenter: vocals, accordion, harmonium, and trumpet.
Jordan Voelker: Vocals, viola.
Sophia Dixon: voice and fountain pen.
Antonia Dixon: voice and paintbrush.
Cassie Kauffman: voice and scholarly wisdom.
Tom Van Buskirk: percussion, understanding.
Micah Blue Smaldone: guitar genius, bass master.
Caleb Mulkerin: guitar, banjo and punk conscience.
Colleen Kinsella: voice, accordion, percussion earth mama.
Chriss Sutherland: voice, bass, ferocious magic.
Lara Polangco: rainbow family singer-songwriter.
Haley O'Connor: den mother.
Michael Gira: trusted producer, magnet of darkness, beloved gothfather.

The futility of trying to control the uncontrollable.
I like yer new photo,, and I enjoy yer songs.. I like yer crazy sanity. I am off.. probably go fishin by myself in the mysterious cold darkness of the night. because.. well... I feel art is too competitve sometimes.. and it was never my intention to compete while making art. -- making music and drawings and paintings is easy for me.. but fishing.. that is not up to me. -- it is not a competition... it is either I eat.. or I starve.. and it is up to GOD... not a human being. from:Lucas James Xavier Kolasa
Thanks for playing for us tonight, Larkin. We (I) was driving around like a headless chicken, cursing strip malls and gas stations, trying to find the Place (the Space?) and thought I'd miss you for sure. Sometimes things work out.
Ironic to hear you sing in an industrial park, though appropriate, and the Space was quite cozy and intimate.
The new songs are (of course) fabulous.
Too bad I lack a gramophone and a little dog to go with it.
Maybe you should try putting your next album out on wax tablets or if you want to be really hip and modern, parchment, even.
I seriously wish I could be in the states to catch a few of the concerts!!! Please visit Nottingham UK soon! The weather here is getting warm and everyone is happy!
FINALLY . " The Stars Are Underground" the legendary low budget documentary film concerning alternative, hardcore and independent music way back in Celtic Kitten 90's Dublin is up and embedded on it's page in three easily digested parts. Come take a look if you get a chance.
you will also notice clips for Mexican Pets and Jubilee Allstars among others .
I've crawled all around Georgia and though I knew her like the back of my hand, yet from the Blue Ridge to Stone Mountain, from the swamps of Savannah to the hills of Athens, I've never heard her sing so spectral, elfin, and clear.
