Pop Montreal 2011 and forthcoming European Tour!

I'm pretty excited about this. I just learned that I've been accepted to perform at the Pop Montreal International Music Festival the last week of September! The fest includes some pretty heavy-hitters, including artist Art Spiegelman, Girls, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, tUnE-yArDs and tons of others! Check out the lineup HERE.

Then, in late October, I head to Europe for dates in Poland and Germany. Going to be a good fall.

In terms of more immediate matters, I'm playing The Cameo Gallery on Tues, Aug 2nd in Brooklyn with a pretty fantastic lineup of psychedelic rockers:

Bandcamp page up, Severe Insomnia, and a new digital single

http://hannisbrown.bandcamp.com/

Severe Insomnia is now digitally available on Bandcamp and includes a free download of my very Jeff Parker and Co.-inspired "Imitating Chicago (Underground)."

Also on the site is a "new" digital single: "A Reason to Push." Originally written for the Lo Recordings/Arctic Circle service last year, I am finally able to release it on my own. It's a breakup song...kind of a downer. But I hope that you like it!

New reviews of both of my albums!

Pretty happy to see that both my albums are getting reviews. Here's one for Severe Insomnia 

(pssst...I've sneakily made this album digitally available to stream and purchase here)

And a new one for Oh Ah Ee

And a creepy, artsy picture of me.

This Sunday, April 17th. The Rock Shop

I'm really really excited about this upcoming show. I'm playing with two of my favorite up-and-coming New York bands: Prairie Empire ( http://www.myspace.com/prairieempire), a really cool folk-y group, led by Brittain Ashford, and BAD BUKA (http://www.myspace.com/panonianwave), a phrenetic Gypsy-punk group that's on its way to blowing up.

I'll be playing the middle set w/my band: Wes Reid (drums), Lucas Dedmon (string bass), Melaena Cadiz (vocals), Matt Steckler (alto sax), Fernando Arruda (bari sax), and Elad Gellert (soprano sax....he's filling in for usual member Jeff Hudgens). Our set's been going over well! I'm impressed/surprised by the response we're getting, since it's pretty weird stuff.
