Hot off the Press! New video for PUJOL’S Black Rabbit!
From Spinner:
Southern garage punk Daniel Pujol heads to his hometown of Tullahoma, Tenn., in the new video for ‘Black Rabbit,’ off the 7-inch of the same time. Filmed on property owned by director Stewart Copeland where the two spent much of their youth, Pujol uses the nighttime Americana backdrop to “craft a narrative about what one can do with the ‘flaming hoop’ that the world nags you about jumping through,” the frontman tells Spinner.
“We wanted to convey the therapeutic role of art, hobby, craft, trade or skill that an individual takes on to aid in identity formation and developing a reflexive relationship with their immediate surroundings through utilizing the vacant time awarded to someone growing up in semi-rural Tennessee,” Pujol explains. “There can be pleasure in work, you can make things.”
I was very excited to hear that The Groove would be hosting their first in-store at their new location. It was even more exciting to hear that it would be the return to Nashville of the lovely Sharon Van Etten, touring in support of her new album Epic.
While she played with a full band at her show at The 5 Spot later that night, the performance at The Groove was Sharon solo. A very intimate and sweet set of four songs, old and new.
I’m very pleased to announce that the day has finally come, Tristen’s long awaited, and much anticipated full length LP, Charlatans at the Garden Gate, has been released to the masses. Unfortunately, due to insane weather in the South-East, the physical release date has been bumped to February 15th but the album is still available via pre-order through American Myth Records. I’ve been personally involved in this project myself for over 2 years as it was recorded by Jeremy Ferguson in the studio that he and I own called Battle Tapes Recording. To honor this momentous occasion I had him write a bit about how he came to be involved in making Charlatans at the Garden Gate.
