Carissa's Wierd releasing stuff, playing a show in Seattle

Hardly Art says, “I am very happy to today inform you that on July 9th of this year Carissa’s Wierd will be playing at the Showbox here in Seattle [tickets]. This will be the band’s first show since 2003, and is their only show currently planned. In addition to principals Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto, the band will include Sarah Standard, Robin Peringer, and Sera Cahoone. As previously reported, Hardly Art will be releasing a Carissa’s Wierd retrospective (They’ll Only Miss You When You Leave: Songs 1996-2003) on July 13th, 2010 and subsequently reissuing the band’s three studio albums, all of which have been long out of print and never before available on vinyl or digitally.”

Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell doesn’t seem to be participating.
