Unless this is the only music site you ever read (hey, you could do worse) you’ll have heard that Dirty Projectors played their two special Getty Address shows at the Lincoln Center, NY and the Disney Concert Hall, LA. There’s only one YouTube clip so far, of two songs from the Disney encore - perhaps a blessing, given the quality of most YouTube content. There are, however, links to reviews, features and photos on the new UC ‘Past Shows‘ page. Take a scroll down this virtual Memory Lane for further link goodness, with more to be added as we go along.
The past fortnight also saw the Bang On A Can All-Stars‘ performance of three new and intriguingly named DL compositions. WQXR streamed it live but aren’t able to release the recording at present. As Joey from Portland says in the comments, “Hopefully someday [we] will get to hear the great sounds of Matt Damon, Breakfast At J&M, and Instructional Video“.
Meanwhile, the group are no doubt looking forward to sampling vegemite sandwiches and stocking up on Paul Hogan Show videos as the tour rolls into Australia this weekend. Great shame about the Lost Weekend, though.
Hello…. to UK people.
The Dirty Projectors and Alarm Will Sound are playing The Getty Address at the Barbican Hall in London, on June 25th 2010.
I stumbled across this randomly while booking Wildbirds and Peacedrum tickets (which you all should also go to - they’re taking a big ol’ choir with them this time!)
But yeah. I’ve got my tickets, but it’s pretty much nowhere on the internet - no announcement or anything.
Go on the barbican website, (google it) and search dirty projectors. It seems to be the only place to buy at the moment.
So glad I found it! Get involved!
(if you feel like doing me a lovely favour, the have a listen to my music,
