vosotros: music for you-all

Join us in welcoming Sam Barsh back to Los Angeles to celebrate the west coast release of his new album, “I Forgot What You Taught Me” on Avishai Cohen’s Razdaz Records.  The show is this Thursday at LAND (the home of our lazy susan residency in Little Tokyo).  Doors at 9.  We’re lucky to have The Lady Tigra opening up the evening.. so don’t arrive too late!!

Barsh and Gabe will be in the studio most of this week completing The Years, an album inspired by the music of each decade - starting in the past and ending in the future ….  [the core band for the years features Barsh on keys, Gabe on bass, and Gene on drums - and Gabe + Gene will be playing in Sam’s band on Thursday, so expect to hear some songs from this new project].

tonight vosotros will be kicking off a new creative music series at the viper room.
there will be mayhem… come on out you-all.

thank you to KXLU for inviting us over this afternoon - gabe and john wood performed a captivating 35 minute set that was nothing short of $ melon … you can listen here in its entirety —->>>

but in light of today’s big news, it seemed appropriate to post the kxlu finale on its own - the remix of the remix …R. Kelly - “I’m A Flirt” (grande iced bossa, unsweetened)

and speaking of john wood, learning music returns to tangier this sunday … don’t miss this show!!! after recording 12 consecutive monthly albums (all available for free download), juan wood’s learning music army is gearing up for a series of shows in the coming months…

•you gotta have friends! that’s what it’s all about!

my new friends, The Sweet Hurt.

led by songstress Wendy Wang, TSH is a wonderful band! Mellow & Beautiful. I played cello at their CD release party at Pehrspace this past weekend and had a blast. We also shared the bill with some slightly older friends, Colorforms! Alex Lilly is sssooo talented & awesome!

Tonight was a musical adventure, too. Went to the secret Beck warm up show at the Echo and saw the homie B.R.A.M. (aka Brandon Square) tear it up on bass…super yeah! Then we went to Spaceland and saw the homies Willoughby, which consists of Gus Seyffert, Mike Green, Charlie Wadhams, and Brandon Square. They were great.

How linked is this entry?

hey you-all. 

•sunday i returned from three weeks touring Israel.  words can’t even describe the experience…except that it’s crazy.  historically, politically, and geographically. made some amazing friends and got profoundly inspired.  and i spent the whole trip with vosotros family member and NY keyboard extraordinaire Sam Barsh, as well as his brother Sy.  as vosotros concert goers know, Sam graced us with his skills at the lazy susan release show in February, turning the party out.  Sam brought his famed melodica to the promised land and turned the party out there too.  video on the way.

•some music that i found myself listening to in Israel: 
GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW. I REPEAT! GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW!  she is amazing.  i mean really amazing.   her record, olesi: fragments of an earth  is out on stones throw. it’s an experience.  check her out, now.

Hamlet Gonashvili.  Hailed as the voice of Georgia (the country), he sings traditional Georgian folk music. His voice is transparent, and the music is mainly acapella, with the typical accompaniment of three supporting voices.  I can’t stop listening to him…beauty. 

finally, shout out to my new friend sarah, and hair braider.

yallah bye,
