26.04.30 w/ Jason Calhoun, Aero Club @ Maybe It’s Fate

sellanraa

Hi all, it’s been nearly eight years since I’ve played a Shedding show here in Louisville and I couldn’t be more pleased to have been asked to play with Jason Calhoun, who is on tour from Philadelphia. Aero Club were kind enough to also play and I’m excited to see them. I’ve known both Ben and Matt for years and it’s neat to see them outside of a noisier and more rocking context. Here is a live set someone posted on YouTube of their work.

The show will be on Thursday, the 30th of April at Maybe It’s Fate in Butchertown. Here’s a flyer that Ben made for the show. Hope to see you all there.

25.07.03 – szulkin (ocio 011)

sellanraa

I decided to finally share some songs from over a decade ago now. Since most of the songs were loosely inspired by a handful of Piotr Szulkin movies from the 1980s, I figured that’d be a suitable name for the release. As always, you can download it for free over on my Releases page or preview and download on Bandcamp. The cover is a photo by my pal Billy Gomberg, who routinely shares beautiful music and photography. Definitely check out his work.

a couple new covers

sellanraa

Well, one new cover and one old cover I realized was never shared aside from an old Hometapes holiday compilation.

Things are generally quiet as I’m focused on the band more than anything else in my music world. There were a couple weeks where the other guys were busy so I did work up a cover of a Neil Young song called “Great Divide”. I’ve always thought his “Silver and Gold” album was quite underappreciated.

I also noticed that I never put up a Rudolph claymation cover in the Bandcamp ‘release’ of covers I called “Covers and Counting”. Keep in mind these have been recorded in a variety of formats over well over a decade now, so there’s not a lot of cohesion in fidelity, but occasionally it’s fun to just fiddle with a cover and sometimes even record it.

A link to the folder of covers on Bandcamp is here. I’ll also update the zip files here on the site.

24.12.23 – Working Models ‘I’

sellanraa

Hi all, a quick note to mention that a band I’ve been doing with good friends finally has shared our first release right before Christmas. These are good pals I first played with over twenty years ago in a band called Parlour. In 2007 (I think? Maybe 08?) we played briefly as a trio we jokingly called Partybox. Fifteen years later, in 2022, we revived it. It’s a slow process writing with talented friends, but though occasionally frustrating, it’s also incredibly rewarding. We decided to call ourselves Working Models. Check our Bandcamp page if you’re curious to hear. Thanks.
