Akron/Family -2009 tour dates, mini-residencies (Union Pool)
We are excited to unveil the first details of Akron/Family's forthcoming album, Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free, which will arrive May 5, 2009 on Dead Oceans. In celebration of this new chapter for Akron/Family, the band is previewing much of the material from Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free in special shows this coming March. Akron/Family will be playing a series of intimate residencies in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, playing multiple nights in venues far smaller than they normally would visit. Additionally, they will be doing co-headline shows with Born Ruffians in Toronto and Montreal, performing a St. Patrick's Day blow out at Denver's beautiful Oriental Theater, visiting the SXSW festival and playing at the New Museum in New York City. The band has hand-picked openers for each night of the residencies, and every city will feature special guest musicians joining Akron/Family on stage, with the hope that each night the audience will receive a unique experience.The NY dates are:
03/27 in NYC @ The New Museum w/ The Lexie Mountain Boys
03/28 in Brooklyn @ Union Pool w/ Gold Sparkle Band (TICKETS)
03/29 in Brooklyn @ Union Pool w/ Larkin Grimm (TICKETS)
I don't see tickets yet to the New Museum show, though there are tix on sale for the February 13th High Places / Grouper show at the same venue.

I haven't seen this band in a couple years, so I'm excited to hear what's new with them. Union Pool is going to be a nice, intimate--albeit crowded--spot to see the band.

this band is going to break out in 09' big time I think.

They kicked all sorts of ass at the Knit on NYE. I'm pumped.

mostly great, half hour of garbage to close the night. most lethargic chant ever. singer/bassist is way too full of himself. douche chills. look at these awful lyrics from their encore:
Lyrics to Crickets :
September nights when the dusk calls us outside
Crickets sing songs to bury the sunshine
And all we see is made of moonlight
Drifting from dream to dream
In the day time
A millions stars reflecting in our eyes
Trees sweetly sway and sing while a breeze travels across the sky
And all we see is made of moonlight
Drifting from dream to dream in the day time
