   About Twisted Folk
UPDATE 4/27/07:

Vermillion Lies is too busy this summer to put on a festival. Yay for us! But it means no festival this year.

Maybe next year......or maybe later.....or maybe.....



2006 was amazing.

The Twisted Folk Festival is not accepting 'Artist Submissions' at this time.

History:

Started in 2005 by sisters Kim and Zoe Vermillion of the band Vermillion Lies, the Twisted Folk Festival is a musical event to celebrate the art of people whose music could, but doesn't quite, fit into the genres of folk, blues, americana, and jazz. Mainly: genres that are/or were traditionally made by people without money or training.

Many of the bands featured play 'found objects.' That is: objects that were never meant to be musical instruments but found themselves in the hands of musicians anyway.

dear Twisted Folk, thanks for your friendship!
We are really happy to tell you our new cd 'YA DUNYA' is finally available at your local record store (Europe) or through iTunes or bol.com.
We are getting really great reviews, but you buying the cd makes us buying a beer and than we are both happy! :-)

HAPPY OCTOBER!!

The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped and sere -
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was a night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year;
It was hard by the dim lake of Auber,
In the misty mid region of Weir -
It was down by the dank tarn of Auber,
In the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir.

"Ulalume". Edgar Allan Poe

Pendulum had to softly whir, softly purr
And couldn't strike
But bells are ringing
Ding dong, bing bong, bing bong.
Doll girl, don't be frightened,
Bells are ringing loud and long
To chase the King of Mice away...
