Help Joy Wants Eternity Book Some Shows

Posted on | August 29, 2008 | Comments Off

Just passing along this note from Joy Wants Eternity. Perhaps some of you reading from these locations can help out.

We need your help. Joy Wants Eternity is heading out on a month long tour in a few weeks and we need help booking a few remaining shows. If anybody wants to help out with a show we’d greatly appreciate it! Any suggestions for venues, bars, art spaces, DIY spaces, house shows, college dorms, in-store appearances, people to contact, bands, to play with, etc. would be awesome as well.
We’d like to fill these dates with something rather than having a day off, so any ideas you have are encouraged! Here’s the dates we need to fill:

Sept. 11th – Preferably Missoula, MT but we’d also do something in Spokane,WA
Sept. 12th – in or around Billings, MT.

Sept. 17th – in or around Detroit, MI
Sept. 29th – Nashville or Murfreesboro, TN.

Oct. 4th – Omaha or Lincoln, NE
Oct. 7th – Boise, ID

Here’s a quick video I took of Stars of the Lid performing at the Good Shepherd Faith Church as part of the Wordless Music Series. Some photos and a bit of a review coming later this week.

“Stars of the Lid kills the EchoPlex. Slowly.”

“It’s so beautiful,” a beaming young girl clad in the requisite librarian chic said to the fellow manning the Stars of the Lid merch table. “I don’t even know what it is, but isn’t it beautiful?”

Nice review of an LA Stars of the Lid show. Looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks here in New York City.

Some exciting news for those of you in and around New York City:

Stay tuned for announcements regarding a number of Wordless Music
events in 2008 with the Kranky Records institution Stars of the Lid,
including their first New York Cityconcert appearance in seven years,
and the expansion of the Wordless Music series into our third city
nationwide. Also in the works: a series of free Wordless Music
concerts at the historic Whitney Museum uptown.

I attended one of these shows back in the fall, and it was interesting and well done. Looking forward to what they put together for 2008.

See Wordlessmusic.org for more info.
