Tonight there is a very special presentation of Mirah & Spectratone International’s “Share This Place” @ The Cedar Cultural Center.
Mirah will also be back celebrating Modern Radio’s 9th Anniversary. A label on which she will release her next album comprised of outtakes, unreleased and hard to find tracks..
Here is a brief summary of tonight’s interesting performance.
“Share This Place” is a multi-media performance with original live music by Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Spectratone International and Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, and stop motion films by Britta Johnson. Based in part on the writings of the influential French scientist/poet, Jean Henri Fabré , the show explores the tender, dramatic, sordid, tragic and triumphant lives of insects.
Mirah has been recording emotional and ravishingly nuanced songs for Olympia, Washington’s K Records since 1997. For“Share This Place” she’s composed a song cycle with long-time collaborators Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson. After leading the critically acclaimed Black Cat Orchestra for many years Goldston, a cellist, and Hanson, an accordionist, formed Spectratone International in 2004 with percussionist Jane Hall and Kane Mathis on oud. Their sound is full, subtle and meticulously rendered, moving easily among a wide range of influences, including psychedelia, folk and early music. (more…)

As Paul mentioned, this will be an amazing show at the Entry on Tuesday (5/6). All three bands here are top notch. If you haven’t already snagged tickets then you may be in luck! Morecowbell has a pair of tickets to give away and a second place prize of a 7″.
Edit: Contest has ended, winners notified. Thanks for the entries!
Speaking of the Black Kids, have you heard their ripping new remix? Listen up.
Oh man I hope this actually happens…
