This Fall
We’re very busy over here at TFC and there are some great things coming down the pike. These are real things and not vaporware things so keep your eyes and ears peeled.
1. Fall Booking Calendar firmed up
We’ve got three shows in the next three months. First, we’re doing a show October 6th for The College of New Jersey in Edison (near Trenton). Next, we’re making our debut at Pianos with a big gig on Wednesday, November 11th. Finally, we’re closing out the season with a holiday smash at Rockwood on Thursday, December 3rd where we’ll go on at 9pm and kickstart the holiday season with some beautiful music. So there is live TFC coming your way. Don’t worry – if you’re on the email list or on Twitter or on Facebook I will spam you relentlessly about the last two shows. So get ready.
2. More Videos
Monte and I are in final stages of finalizing the full-length video for “Dirty White Coats”. This is set to Monte’s trademarked animation style and is one more in the line of beautiful, gorgeous and heartbreaking videos that Monte has done. This is our first full-length together and Monte has done an incredible job on it so stay tuned because it’s going to be beautiful.

3. Remixes
We’ve got four different artists working on remixes of ‘The Mayo Clinic’, ‘Burning a Horse’, ‘The Ways That We Destroy Ourselves’ and ‘If You See Something’. Those should all drop in the next few months and they’re all going to be great.
4. Posters and T-Shirts
I’m trying to get the folks at Compound Design to do a poster for the Fall shows. If you saw their Scarlet Shame Variety poster you’ll know these things are true collector’s items. I’m also in touch with Aaron Hogg who did the first Lipstik T-shirts to do some TFC t-shirts. I know he’ll do an incredible job.
5. Writings
People have been digging the writing on the site. Spectrum Culture, who featured my take on the ‘Songs of the Decade’, is going to feature the memoriam I wrote for Jim Carroll next week. Striker Bill featured the article I wrote “How to Write a Song From Your Life” a few weeks ago as well. I have a feeling more will turn up from these efforts. But check out Spectrum on Monday for more.
Then of course at some point this Fall I’m going to give Paul a few CDs worth of demos and we’ll whittle down ~40 songs to the 10 that will be featured on the next full-length. My guess is that we’ll start recording for that next Spring and finish by next Winter and that the official release date will be March 2011 but we’ll see. These things take time. And I might get together with Nancy Hess to work on this other project which will be a Field-inspired EP called ‘Singer/Songwriter’. Two songs, 16 minutes of dance-inspired music. Oh, and I’m trying to get some of the amazing singer/songwriters to cover a few tunes as well. Oh, and I’m adding a percussionist to the band.
So stay tuned. As always, good stuff on the horizon and much of it to come very soon.
