Ben von Wildenhaus at Union Pool (more by BBG)

Ben Von Wildenhaus (mem Federation X) employs a combination of haunting Americana, tons of effects and eye-popping visuals in his live show, but he'll also rope in a full band for his previously discussed record release party at Zebulon on 11/3 (TOMORROW) with Pure Horsehair. The party is to celebrate last week's release of Great Melodies From Around, his new LP out now via Riot Bear Recording Co.

Ben has also extended the party to the web, releasing a new video for "Cumberland Winter" which makes its debut here (MP3 of the same song above). You can watch it, along with some other stuff, below...

Danava at Acheron

Danava and Thrones completed a round of NYC dates over the weekend. They tagged Acheron on an icy Thursday night with Caltrop and Psychic Limb, and then hit Union Pool on Friday (10/28) with La Otracina & Ben von Wildenhaus (mem Federation X). Thrones, Danava, and La Otracina were then set to head out on the road together together, but were forced to cancel their Boston date at Midway Cafe the next night due to the freak snowfall that blanketed the Northeast, but resumed their tour in Providence last night (10/30) and are on their way north towards Portland, ME now. Full tour dates are below.

Thrones, Danava, La Otracina and Ben von Wildenhaus, aka the Friday lineup, ALL have new releases to celebrate. Thrones, aka Joe Preston, recently dropped a split with Sedan on his own Joe Preston's Solid Gold Records. La Otracina were literally assembling and selling their new Skyblazer 7" at the show, out now via In For The Kill Records. Ben von Wildenhaus released his new LP Great Melodies From Around this past Tuesday (10/25) via Riot Bear Recording Co. And of course, Danava's new LP is out now too.

Of the previously mentioned, only BvW has another NYC date in his near future, at Zebulon on Thursday (11/3) with Pure Horsehair and DJ Porkchop in celebration of Great Melodies From Around.
