Here’s a photo of the Eleanor Friedberger posters, which just arrived on Friday. Designed by Luke Bulman and Jessica Young of the truly awesome Thumb Projects and printed at Colby Poster Printing, these are for sure collector’s items. For sure for sure for sure. Buy them here (and come to the show! Only $5!).
Just back from SXSW: this is the only picture I took while I was there, obviously in a punk rock fever. It’s Mikal Cronin (with our old friend Ty Segall on guitar, who Cronin is touring with) at the Insound/Oh My Rockness party. Great show. Also saw Diarrhea Planet, Los Vigilantes, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Cloud Nothings, Trust, Ross Cashiola, some crazy glam psych bands at a house party, and 1000 more. Woot woot.
Josh Wise hard at work.
We’ve been fans of the French Kicks for a long time, and we’re excited to announce that Josh Wise of said band will be opening for Eleanor Friedberger on 24 March 2012. Josh’s most recent non-French-Kicks project, “Above Ground Episodes,” pairs an eight-song LP with a DVD of experimental visual “episodes” organized in a loose narrative sequence. All of the packaging artwork was silkscreened and painted by hand in Wise’s apartment (see above for proof). Listen to a track here.
You can buy tickets online (only $5!) or at the door. Doors at 8 pm; show at 8:30 pm. Note that the show will be in the front of the Crowley Theater, with no seating.
(Also, if you didn’t see the Austinist interview with Eleanor Friedberger, check it out — she discusses her Marfa residency, New York, her upcoming record, and more. And we just got a sneak peek at the Eleanor posters, designed by the awesomely talented Thumb Projects: they’re amazing. We’ll have them in the shop by Friday.)

Our Polaroid series (excitedly) continues with two new additions: Bora Yoon and Luke DuBois, who played a mesmerizing set at the opening celebration of Data Deluge this past Friday (see more photos here — thanks to Beto Halpern and Jessica Brassler for their help documenting the night). In 2011, we enlisted photographer Alex Marks to take a portrait of each of our visiting musicians, and it’s an amaaaaaaaazing series (which you can see, piecemeal-ish, here). Next up: Eleanor Friedberger, who comes to Marfa on March 24. Can’t wait.
THE MARIGNY PARADE trailer from R. Luke DuBois on Vimeo.
As you know, Luke DuBois is performing here in Marfa on Friday, 2 March, with Bora Yoon, as part of the opening celebration of Data Deluge. Curator Rachel Gugelberger introduced us to Luke’s work, and just showed me Luke’s DVD, The Marginy Parade, which was commissioned by the PROSPECT New Orleans art biennial, curated by Dan Cameron (who in turn curated our 2011 spring exhibition, The World According to New Orleans).
The DVD contains five viewpoints on a large, multi-pronged marching band parade that took place in New Orleans on October 22, 2011. The parade featured three bands — The Roots of Music Marching Crusaders, The O. Perry Walker “Orange Crush” Marching Band, and the Eleanor McMain “Marching Mustangs” band — which divided into a five-part, synchronized parade, starting in five different locations in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, converging on Washington Square Park. The parade performed music written by DuBois, drawing inspiration from the repertoire of contemporary New Orleans bands. Check out the DVD if you can: amazing work, plus all proceeds go to The Roots of Music, a free, year-round, music education program for middle school children in New Orleans.
Don’t miss DuBois’s performance on Friday here in Marfa, where he’ll be live manipulating video for ( (( PHONATION )) ), a multimedia solo performance by Bora Yoon. The two will discuss their work on Marfa Public Radio at 10 am tomorrow: stream it live online, or if you’re in Marfa, blast it from your radio!

The latest in “The Real Artists of Marfa” series over at The New York Times: Solid Waste, who played a crazy awesome humid set for us last August and are featured in Meredith Danluck’s film, North of South, West of East, which is part of our soon-to-close visual arts exhibition, AutoBody. Read their profile, and don’t miss the rest in the series (and stay tuned for our associate curator’s profile).
There’s Leonard Cohen fever in the air: he has a new record out (which you can — and should — here on NPR’s First Listen), and MOJO’s just released an album of Leonard Cohen covers, featuring our pal Cass McCombs, as well as Field Music, Marc Ribot, Michael Kiwanuka, Father John Misty (who was in Fleet Foxes), Bill Callahan and others. You can’t listen to the Cass track, but download’s Bill Callahan’s cover of “Marianne.” The lyrics: sheesh. Killer.

La Santa Cecilia playing “La Negra,” which recently was nominated for a 2011 Latin Grammy. Note the guitarist Gloria — pure awesomeness.
Friends in LA: The amazing LA band La Santa Cecilia, who played our Marfa Dialogues symposium in 2010, are talking this Saturday, 4 February, at UCLA about their music and heritage with Josh Kun — curator of the PST/GRAMMY Museum exhibition Trouble in Paradise: Music and Los Angeles 1945-75; director of The Popular Music Project at USC Annenberg’s The Norman Lear Center; and — by crazy chance — Ballroom alum from The Marfa Sessions.
After the conversation, there will be a Q&A with the band, followed by a brief performance. Tickets are only $10 — if you can make it, go! They’re so fun, and have the best energy. For more info, check out their website or watch this great interview with them.
