Ukraine Aid Operations in collaboration with the Heraskevych Charity Foundation are raising $60,000 to fund 6 tents and a generator for a mobile field hospital. A flyer is attached. Thank you for your support. Please share Field Hospital Tents Fundraiser | United Aid and Logistics Foundation (Powered by Donorbox) https://buff.ly/3QPOvcJ The Heraskevych Charity Foundation was established by the Ukrainian Olympic skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych and now supports a unit of more than 600 Ukrainian medical professionals working at the front line. This medical unit needs tents that can be put up and down in a matter of hours. Why? Because Orcs are well known to bomb & attack hospital facilities! So…

Not Ants by Seth Faergolzia's Multibird Seth Faergolzia is Coming to Europe...and he’s bringing 4 new albums along with him! “It's been such a long long time since I've gotten over to Europe to see friends and fans out there.

Sheema Mukherjee – Sheema (Vinyl) with USB stick
"Classically trained but a fusioneer by nature, sitarist Sheema Mukherjee has played with trance troupe Transglobal Underground and folk radicals the Imagined Village among others. This solo debut (vinyl/MP4 only) draws from her palette with panache. Slash Sitar is a showboating rock thrash (air sitar, anyone?); Sikkim Girls comes drenched in Bollywood strings; Morning Celeste is a dreamy neoclassical raga; and the driving Little Dragon sounds as though John Lee Hooker had mastered the sitar. More unexpected are sweetly sung covers of Radiohead and Françoise Hardy and playful evocations of 60s pop (Mrs Moo) and sodden samosas on an English beach (Bit God). A charming, altogether singular creation." - Neil Spencer…
Tour Management: Crossing the UK/EU Border Using a Carnet
If you are a band with European Tour Dates and are travelling in a Splitter Van with a Carnet across the UK/EU Border for the first time since Brexit, Mark at Iron Man Records explains how to keep it simple. I took an Americana Band called Mipso across Europe in June 2022. I learned a lot about post Brexit Border crossing. Here's what I would recommend if you have Tour Dates to play, the UK/EU Border to cross, and a Carnet to deal with. The first thing to do is go by Eurotunnel. Get a “passenger” ticket for a 9 seat Splitter van as it is classified as “a passenger carrying…

Mipso – European Tour Dates June 2022
In the springtime of 2019, Mipso headed out on several writing retreats around their home state, with a mission of laying down the framework for their self-titled sixth album. In a particularly charmed outing for the North Carolina-bred four-piece—fiddle player Libby Rodenbough, mandolinist Jacob Sharp, guitarist Joseph Terrell, and bassist Wood Robinson—Mipso holed up on a farm near Chapel Hill in the middle of May, teasing songs out in a barn whose tin roof rattled wildly during the near-daily downpours. As with all their writing sessions for Mipso, the band brought in instruments outside their usual repertoire (analog synths, lap steel guitars, a toy piano), slipping into a prolonged period of…

Total Assault On The Culture — March 2022
“The war in Ukraine is a disaster for the people of Ukraine and a terrible threat to us all, increasing the danger of nuclear war. We demand the immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops. We demand an end to NATO expansion. We oppose sanctions that will harm ordinary Russians. We say no to nuclear war and call on all countries to welcome refugees fleeing the war.” — Stop the War I have friends and extended family in Ukraine. The last 8 years and recent weeks may have been difficult, but the last week has been traumatic. I have found it very hard to do any music related work which is why…
