The Long Winters and Spiral Stairs split single
Submitted by The Long Winters on August 28, 2010 - 11:09am
We resisted the urge to mess with your heads and title this message "The Long Winters Split". In fact, it wouldn't be fair, because although we still ask you to wait a little longer for the new album, you can get your hands on new Long Winters material with amazing regularity. Latest project to see the day of light is a split single for the Mt. Fuji label, with Spiral Stairs, aka Scott Kannberg of Pavement and Preston School of Industry fame.
It always rains in Seattle
Submitted by The Long Winters on August 15, 2010 - 1:04pmA pipe exploded in the ceiling of the Triple Door and it was RAINING in the theater: Saturday's show was cancelled last minute. It was going to be John, Kathleen Edwards and Dave Bazan trading instruments, playing each other's tunes, and they had been looking forward to it greatly. Sorry to all who came out for the show. For those who hadn't seen these yet, this may be some consolation: three songs from the July show on the video page, including the Bun Family Players song Shane.
August 20th, in a place you cannot find
Submitted by Liesbeth on August 11, 2010 - 2:22pmOn August 20th, John Roderick will perform on a night hosted by John Hodgman at the Montague Bookmill in MA. This bookstore has the motto "Books You Don’t Need in a Place You Can’t Find", which sure sounds promising. And Hodgman describes John as a quasi-cave troll from Alaska. Should be a jolly night.
No pianobar, alas
Submitted by The Long Winters on August 11, 2010 - 2:07pmPlease be advised that John Roderick's Piano Bar for the City Arts Fest in Seattle in October has been cancelled, contrary to the initial line-up info that has gone out.
Triple Door special guests
Submitted by The Long Winters on August 10, 2010 - 12:22pmYou may wonder who these special guests are who will join John Roderick at The Triple Door on Saturday. All the way from Toronto, Canada, Kathleen Edwards will make an appearance. And opening the show will be California-based singer El May. More guests may be announced the next days, so keep an eye out here and on John's Twitter page. But do note that not all guests will be revealed beforehand. So get your tickets now and you won't miss a thing.
To give you another taster, here's a second song from the first Triple Door show in July. And watch a third song on the video page: the unreleased Bun Family Players track 'Shane'.

Submitted by The Long Winters on August 6, 2010 - 1:08pmAs a last-minute reminder for those rapscallions who haven't reserved their tickets to all of John Roderick's residency shows at the Triple Door in Seattle that the second of three shows is coming up quickly! Next Saturday, August 14th should be already circled, starred and crossed out on your calendar to make sure you have no superseding engagements, but just in case you haven't yet - do so now! Tickets are available now, but going fast.
