last minute reminder for tonight's show at the great american music hall!
if you're keeping track, it's the first official seaweedsway show there, & my first official collaboration w/ loving cup (justin davis). LITTLE WINGS, SALT MINDS, MARK DAVID ASHWORTH & MURALISMO, & WILL SPROTT OF THE MUMLERS + BOB THAYER OF RAD CLOUD DJ'ING -what???!!!
it should be a pretty mellow night overall; but you never know with these folks, little wings could break out a freestyle rap that will blow your mind & get you dancing like you never knew how. actually that is highly likely. important: doors are at 8, and will sprott of the mumlers starts at 8:30. he's so good that it's worth making an effort to be there for his set, seriously. & anyone who arrives before mark david ashworth & muralismo's set gets a free download of their latest album. see? we even have incentive items for early arrival! (they go second, so may as well catch will's set too, & enjoy the whole night). salt minds will be featuring sean kae of dearest, mariee sioux, & jeff manson tonight. they're one of my new favorites too. dance between sets to tunes spun by dj of the night bob thayer of rad cloud. the essential details are here: http://bit.ly/aug26rsvp & tix are here: http://www.gamhtickets.

here are stories & pathways to songs for the bands playing tonight:
LITTLE WINGS
Little Wings was formed in San Luis Obisbo, CA, and the music of Little Wings carries the landscape of its place of origin like clouds carry water vapor, to release it in a myriad of forms over a changing landscape. Little wings is a project that revolves around frontman and songwriter Kyle Field, sometimes with drummer Adam Selzer, keyboardist Rob Kieswetter, bassist Mark Leece, and others. His debut album, Discover Worlds of Wonder , was released in 1999 by Walking Records and later in 2000 by K Records. It has been called "a dreamy, balladic tribute to the surreal aspects of the contemporary Californian landscape." Little Wings followed up this first release with The Wonder City and Wonderue to complete their Wonder Trilogy, consisting of three albums released on K and Knw-Yr-Own Records. In 2003, Little Wings released Harvest Joy , followed by Magic Wand in 2004 and Glow in 2005. He released Soft Pow'r in 2007. Kyle Field has played with the likes of Grandaddy, Lee Baggett, and Devendra Banhart, and is also a talented visual artist. A book of his drawings was published by the label Ahornfelder.

SALT MINDS
"Salt Minds Sounds like the last sequoia being turned into a tunnel through which to drive your car. Also it costs ten dollars every time you pass through the tree."
-Roger Waters
