retrospect: brave little abacus. at the silent barn.



sunday january ninth.
i found myself traveling to brooklyn, ny
with my friends brave little abacus.
they performed with local group math the band.
this was my first exposure to a scene that I had only heard about, through the internet of all places! The space was quite beautifully designed with a very cohesive artistic direction.This opportunity for the brave little boys was made possible by friend alex billig
alex plays as a part of: laura stevenson and the cans
as well as the eskalators.
the cans have just finished their don giovanni debut and will be available soon!
here is a video of an unreleased song from brave little abacus's set
this song will be a part of their first seven inch;
which is in the process of being recorded
the rest of their music can be found at bravelittleabacus.bandcamp.com

shire.

these friends hail from Hingham, MA.
they just put out their Penny Candy EP last fall
it can be downloaded for free here> shire.bandcamp.com
this featured video was shot by Connor Lynch in Hingham on December 23rd during an event called Barnaroo which raised money and collected food for local homeless initiative: Father Bill's

The music video for this song, "Melting Away" can be seen here

upcoming shows:
02/05/2011 - The Midway Cafe - Jamaica Plain, MA

my friends do a lot of good things creatively.
i figured i would try to share.
i want this to manifest physically.
this is phase one.
