...some great things in the works this summer.
die geister beschwören is performing on the summer solstice (june 21st) at a thirst for light, an awesome freak-folk festival in rural washington. DGB will also see the formal release of past historik on reverb worship records, and the soft release of drawn to the investigation of shadows on BPBS arts + media over the next few weeks!
datura blues have been lurking in the shadows, taking some time off from performing live... but with the september 2014 release of serpent of the obsidian knives, (a four year work in progress,) the band will finally be returning to stages along the west coast. look forward to new members, new material, new instrumentation and a new direction!
the fifth annual production of (recurring) dreams is in the works! for those of you who haven't been a part of this amazing event yet, it involves the projection of akira kurosawa's 1990 film "dreams," onto a large outdoor screen, while each of the film's eight short (15-20 minutes) segments are scored by a different musical outfit... in the past, we've had such amazing acts as: aan, like a villain, hosannas, the ocean floor, ed and the red reds, ruby fray, kaiser soze, die geister beschwören, datura blues and more! we're hoping to do it a little earlier this year, shooting for early august... stay tuned!
