James Jackson Toth @ Pianos 8/23 (more)
Earlier this year, James Jackson Toth “aka Wooden Wand aka Wand” put out two albums (both as “Wand,” which I think is what he’s mainly going by now). One of those was a b-sides and demos release called Hard Knox on Ecstatic Peace. The other was a limited-edition release called Born Bad on People in a Position to Know and Toth’s own Mad Monk imprint. Two songs off Hard Knox are posted above.
The People in a Position label has a few more Toth releases in the works, including the debut of his band the Jescos. He also has a record coming out on Michael Gira’s Young God Records set for early next year.
Wand will be touring the east coast this summer. Those dates include supporting gigs for Michael Gira, Woods and Akron/Family. The first of his NYC stops will be a show with Gira at the Issue Project Room on Saturday, July 25th.
Then, he’ll be playing the Studio at Webster Hall on Sunday, July 26th with Larkin Grimm (who is also on Young God Records and whose upcoming shows include the Musicka Mystica Maxima Fest at Santos in September). Tickets are on sale.
Toth teams up with Akron/Family in mid-August to open several dates on that band’s extensive summer/early fall tour. All Wand and Larkin Grimm tour dates are below…
