Megapuss, Entrance and Little Joy Announce New Tour

Megapuss have announced their first tour dates before the release of their new album Surfing on September 16th. The string of West Coast tour dates takes Devendra Bannhart’s and Gregory Rogrove’s Megapuss alongside The Entrance Band and The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti’s new band Little Joy. Also appearing on Little Joy’s new album and in the band is Rodrigo Amarante (from Brazilian group, Los Hermanos) who appeared on Devendra Banharts Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. “There will be cross-pollination of all sorts on this dynamic triple bill tour, what we know so far is that Fab Moretti will play drums for Megapuss and Greg Rogove will play drums for Little Joy. Producer and guitarist Noah Georgeson will play guitar for both Little Joy & Megapuss (as he also did on both of their albums). Expect the unexpected.”

Stay tuned for photos and updates along the way.

From the Archives: Entrance on 8/29/03

Almost 5 years ago to the day Guy Blakeslee was playing this set as one of his first under his new Entrance moniker. It’s a killer set with some great covers and originals alike. Listen to those vocals and guitar, I can’t help but feel that he doesn’t simply play the blues but is entirely feeling them as well.

folkYEAH! presents: the redwood gathering

“Big Sur is the California that men dreamed of years ago, this is the Pacific that Balboa looked at from the Peak of Darien, this is the face of the earth as the Creator intended it to look” – Henry Miller

An incredible opportunity to see a slew of amazing bands playing in the bucolic forests of Big Sur. Find some friends, bring a tent, build a fire, take in the tunes, breathe in the air – it’s going to be a mind-blowing weekend.
