howdy folks,
sweet addition to the april flower tour and proper way to send mick back off to his homeland. we'll be playing popeye's garage in new haven, located at 50 goffe street, on a bill with the flower-corsano duo. most likely it will be our only "electric" set of the tour.
stay tuned for more info - for now:
Popeye’s Garage is an experimental community arts collective located in the heart of New Haven, Connecticut. The space functions as an art gallery, recording studio, performance space, and much more. It acknowledges the power of bringing various groups together in one place where everyone can experience everyone else’s vision(s). It’s easy. It’s right there next to Popeye’s.
see ya in the pit near the fryolator and spinach...

RELIX INTERVIEW
i did this one a coupla earth years back...just like trash
RELIX: Is the drone trailer based on an actual trailer?
MV * you bet. it's two fold really, we have what they call a 'teardrop trailer', it is an old small one that is basically a bed on wheels with a small 'kitchen' set up that i restored in the back. a really cool design...we did our early duo tours in it...you tow it behind your vehicle. the trailer is so light and small that one could pull it behind a mini cooper.
we also live next to a double wide way out in the woods in vermont. an old school backwoods wooly scene, i once had a guitar accidentally delivered there. as cool & interesting as the folks who live there are, it was quite a laff in getting that guitar 'back'.
When/why did you decide to hook up with the Golden Road?
* we had been workin' with some folks as "the bummer road" for quite a spell, we did some records ('we offer you guru', 'mother of thousands', 'play elias mcdaniels who do you love', 'green blues') and toured pretty extensively. the "golden road" morphed outta that scene. a positive and natural evolution, more in tune with our sensibilities i s'pose, and closer on the path toward enlightenment, whatever that may be.
What were you going for in making the album?
* mainly i wanted to share a record that could swing both ways, both acoustic and electric...where the songs could be inverted naturally. for example, we can dig "anyway" acoustic, and "twitchin'" as a full on electric burner. i was going for a more wide open sound, a sound where you open up doors, but in a 'classic' sense. y'know, making a 40 minute record and, for us, relatively short songs. a collection where the jams are covert and the stretched out trips are implied.
Who are you listening to now?
* i've been playing this live dead from tampa '73 a lot these days. also been digging 'american avatar' by lisa kindred and the mel lyman family and this christmas cassette from a contemporary west coast unit called 'wooden shijps'.
What inspires your music?
* where i live, everything, nothing.
What do you hope your music inspires?
* freedom
Are there any misconceptions people have about your music?
* probably.
If you could tour with another band which would it be?
* a brooklyn band called 'woods'.
Do you prefer playing shows to recording?
* i dig both sides.
Who are your fans?
* real people, people who feel beautiful and open, people who feel ugly and open.
People say you are the ultimate hippie, do you think you are?
* who said THAT. ha ha.
When was your last haircut?
* last summer, at the time erika and i had met a 'psychedelic hairdresser' on myspace. it's true.
Any performances/musicians that fill your soul?
* alan wilson, ali akbar khan / etc...
