New Beard - EP Release -12/18/2011!!

Sunday, December 18th, at the Cameo Gallery in Williamsburg Brooklyn, indie-rock-band-with-tuba NEW BEARD will be doing a show to celebrate the release of our EP Moment of Peace.  On this bill I'll also play with homeboys Gato Loco de Bajo as it will be a big family affair!  ...and on the show our good pals Lavalier will play (with full-sized mics tho... ha ha, that's a joke), as well as the band Toys and Tiny Instruments.

This is exciting for me as the pre-release-release of Moment of Peace has been getting some kickass response!  This EP is also to accompany the release of our video to the song "Given" which debuted a few weeks ago on Stereogum.

A bit of holiday avant

This week is packed with some interesting brass music...  tonight I got to play an exceptionally eclectic program with the Orchestra of the SEM Ensemble.  It was nice to play with them again.  I got to do some antiphonal Gabrieli as well as John Cage's Atlas Elipticalis.

Brass players all know to revere every second they get to play Gabrieli's antiphonal brass music (especially in a great space for it!) and Atlas Elipticalis is a work I've known about for some time, but had not, until now, had the chance to perform.  

Also, the Paula Cooper Gallery in Chelsea is a great place to perform!  It's big but-only-enough echoic space was perfect for both of these works.  

Also through the week is some typical holiday brass quintetting.  Always a decent time!

 

And then...tomorrow night I get my ass kicked!  I get the pleasure of playing a NY premiere of a work for brass quintet, jazz tenor sax, and drumset, composed by NYC-Toronto sax player Quinsin Nachoff; his 'Pyramid Brass Project.'  What a brass quintet to be a part of!!  (I'll be shedding this one up until the last second before the gig!) I get to share the stage with brassers Ralph Alessi, Shane Endsley, John Clark, Ryan Keberle, drummer Dan Weiss, and tenorist/composer Qunisin.   It's going to be brutal!
