BDL-C001MD 'SPLIT LIP WHISTLES'

BDL-C001MD 'SPLIT LIP WHISTLES' tiny coffins (Beso De Lengua) and Tall City


Tall City and tiny coffins have been playing together and with other folk artists across the Colorado Front Range for the past year, playing in coffee shops, houses, art galleries, and hole-in-the-wall bars.

On this split cassette, Beso De Lengua's first release, these artists have compiled four songs about religion, youth, and the unconditional love of controlled substances through electronic beats, echoing auto-harp, folk/roots influences, and bedroom recordings.

On May 22nd 2010 at 8PM, tiny coffins will be releasing 'SPLIT LIP WHISTLES' on cassette at Rubbish Art Gallery in a performance with Goodnight Stranger, Katey Sleeveless, and The Ghost of Michael Clark.

The cassette will be available for a 3-5$ donation at the show and, until further updates, can be purchased directly from Jesse Rozell (tiny coffins) and Christopher Bullock (Tall City). Don't have a tape player? No worries. The cassette comes with a FREE digital download.

Keep an eye out this summer for additional Beso De Lengua releases from PUMPKIN, Savannah Smith, tiny coffins, DIRTY DIVES, and others.

Paleo

Paleo, the moniker of David Strackany - a folk musician who has no home, travels America writing and playing songs, and has for a very long time. I was lucky enough to catch him in Colorado Springs at The Piano Warehouse on April 1st.

Strackany, credited with writing and recording a song every day for a year (you can download all 365 tracks from his website), was very pleasant and modest in person. He started his set out by having everyone in the room sit behind a piano and play a note in the key of F for the entirety of his first song.

As his set progressed, it was easy to see that this man was an accomplished guitar player. He also had an amazing voice, comparable to new-folk/freak folk artist
Devendra Banhart and former Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth.

His performance had an astonishing amount of creativity surrounding the lyrics and music that presented story after story and feeling after feeling to his audience.

Check out his website with his chronological song diary or his MySpace page if you're looking to get a sample of his music, and if he's ever running through your town make sure you stop, listen, and give him some gas money.
