"Hey everybody. John F. from TMBG here!
Hope everyone is ready to jump into summer! This free show
in Troy is coming up very soon-if you know anybody up in that
area tell ‘em we're coming!
We've been pretty crazy busy finishing up a bunch of The Else
related things for the big "physical release" on July 10. Magazine
ads, new posters for CD shops, new t-shirts and hats for the tour,
etc. Some interesting news-looks like we are going to get to
release The Else on VINYL! It's even going to a gatefold! This is
our first actual "record" released in the US since 1990! It's all
happening!
Just finished a three day run of shows playing songs collaborating
with this electronic instrument making group called LEMUR, run
by this very cool fellow named Eric Singer. They build these
electronically controlled musical instruments in Brooklyn. The
instruments are called robots although they are not anthropo-
morphized (or robots in the Robbie the Robot sense-no faces or
moving limbs) It was a group show, with some very interesting
experimental composers writing for the robots and human ensembles.
Jim Thirlwell (who performed as Foetus for a number of years) did
a piece with machines and a string section that was notably dynamic.
He was also a very interesting guy to hang out with. With so much
going on technically and so many acts, the shows were naturally all
little bumpy. Even just playing with the robots was a bit disorienting.
Even though a lot of the musical roles for the robots in our pieces
were traditional drum patterns, their clang and clatter was pretty
odd. We performed three songs-a longer version of the first section
of "With the Dark" from The Else, and two other new songs;
"Vestibule" and "Our Cannibal Friends" I hope we can get to do more
with them, and document the stuff we've already worked on."
Flansburgh speaks out in The Gothamist about working
with the Dust Brothers, playing the real Fillmore East,
and ventriloquist friends.
