TIME TAKE IT´S TOLL ON SOME AND OTHERS TAKE TIME AND CRAM IT, TWIST IT, USE IT FOR LOVELY PRODUCTION. WE ARE THOSE WHO WILL NOT STAND DOWN. STILL UNSURE, BUT SURE OF OUR UNSURITY WE REVEAL OUR HEARTS TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. SO… YE WHO READS, LIFT YOUR EARS TO THE NEWSEST INCARNATION OF A SOUL BODY BELONGING TOGETHER. YEARS IN THE CHALLENGED MAKING, WE FRIENDS/FAMILY ARE SEPARATE IN OUR TOGETHERNESS AND WE DOUBLE SPEAK AS THAT´S THE ONLY WAY TO SPEAK. SO ENOUGH… THIS WHAT GIRA HAS TO SAY… ¨I'm damned pleased to be able to offer here a special YGR website-only 5 song EP by the fantastic group of singers/players called Fire On Fire. They used to be the art-punk-prog-chaos collective Cerberus Shoal, but they ditched their electric instruments, went into hiding for a while, and now play all acoustic… upright bass, banjo, harmonium, accordion, acoustic guitar etc etc, and they all sing and harmonize on the songs. Live, they do it ¨old school¨ and just use two mics placed in front of them on the stage, like a bluegrass band. They all live in the same house up in Maine, across from rusting green oil tanks, apparently. To me they sound like a backwoods, fierce, psychedelic ¨Mamas And The Papas¨ or a crazed and vengeful gospel string band. They´re great people and I love their music. It´s all acoustic, but it´s not in the least folky. More old-timey incantations - American music with excellent words and performed with the honed violence of intent that truly great music requires. They're a total blast live. They just recently played my back porch actually and it was one of the best live music experiences I´ve had in years¨.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
i am colossally bummed i can't make it tomorrow night. a friend in portland is picking up my tickets tho' and i'm sure it'll be an immortal and beautiful night!
well what a find you've proved to be I really enjoy every aspect of your music. This is totally not my style either but it's almost hypnotic. Any plans of touring?
Seth Faergolzia, founder of the New York Antifolk/Freakfolk band, Dufus, will be touring Europe, this June and July.
Seth will be performing in Dublin on the 9th of July at Kennedy's of Westland Row.
Dufus has performed with such acts as Animal Collective, the Yeahyeahyeahs, Black Dice, Jeffrey Lewis, Of Montreal, and Moldy Peaches. This will be a show you do not want to miss.

Ok, one more...I just signed the Young God Records mailing list to be notified of your apparently sold-out EP when a new run comes out. Need to own this music. God I hope you keep making it.
