Hey wow, so it's been a while, Vancouver! We've been
making music videos and
participating in fundraising and community-building,
reflecting on human mortality and... just like that,
whap zam!, we haven't played any gigs in town since
last November! Well, we're here to shake that up a bit: both us and our
eerily familiar friends in the Balkan / klezmer instrumental ensemble
Der Royshiker Krokves are scheduled to be turning in hour-long sets (ours, 4-5 pm; theirs, 1-2 pm) at the Accordion Noir stage at this year's Car-Free Main Street festival, running from noon to 7 pm on Sunday June 18th at 21st and Main. But don't come out just to see only us -- the stage features a veritable catalogue of local alt-accordion, including Robyn Carrigan, Barbara Adler, Katheryn Petersen, the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle Orchestra (who we may be lending some guest vocals to!) and closing with a headlining set by our spiritual guide and mentor Geoff Berner.
You can find a complete schedule over here. Cheers & squeeze on!
