Hey Now!

Just got an email from Gans promoting tonights stream from TRI

www.tristudios.com/

im down for a TRI couch tour show.
ive heard good things about this group, they do some folky/bluegrass versions of dead material(ive heard)

does anyone remember the black flag song "tv party"
its about goin over to your friends house, and watching tv, cause theres nothin else to do in their boring ass town, i related to that song alot grown up in KY, but nowadays, its like internet party, but internet has too many syllybils, wifi party tonight,any,

been looking forward to this since I heard about it upon my arival home from Wanee! ... saw David Gans at the Vibes last year and it was pretty cool, can't wait to check out his new project here.

if I remember correctly I read they will be playing a lot of Dead material, pretty sure it said that on the TRI bio of them....

from tristudios.com.....


Sycamore Slough String Band is an acoustic quartet founded on a mutual love of Grateful Dead music. Instigator David Gans had the brilliant idea of holding the band's first rehearsals in a recording studio in order to capture the magic that everyone knew would transpire. The song list has already jumped the fence into other works, but the repertoire will remain Dead-centric for the most part. The Dead's "concerted sense of quest" informs SSSB's musical interactions, and a powerful vocal ensemble rides high atop those grooves. These tracks are a little rough around the edges, as first rehearsals tend to be, but the ground has been broken on what is already proving to be a fertile and fruitful musical collaboration.

FIRST REHEARSALS, the debut of Sycamore Slough String Band, is now available for sale from festivalink.net flink.livedownloads.com/show.asp?show=7293

TRI just announced that Robin Sylvester will be joining them tonight. That's good news, glad he's feeling better!

On the flip side, I wonder if a TRI webcast makes Phil less likely to broadcast from TC??
