Archive for July, 2010

July is here!  My clothes have been sticking to places I never knew I had which must mean it’s summertime in New York!

In a thinly veiled attempt to bridge this gooey time of year and Pronto, I present two opportunities to hear us play music this summer:

1. Sunday, July 18th at Pianos in NYC with Todd Barry.

I know I’m excited.  We’re thinking about 8pm, so after changing into your play-clothes, head out to the Lower East Side for music and comedy.

2. Friday, August 13th at Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, MA at Mass MoCA.

Solid Sound Festival is a Wilco curated festival. Apart from a ripping set by Wilco, you’ll get to see all the Wilco members’ side projects and some of our favorite bands, comedians, artists, like Mavis Staples, Vetiver, Cassandra C. Jones, Todd Barry, Kristen Schaal, and check the schedule for much much more: How about a guitar building exhibit by Frankie Montuoro?  Poster printing workshops?  I know Nels and Glenn are cooking up some really fun & wacky interactive installations.  It’s going to be a rad ass music-fueled weekend in the Berkshires.  Tickets are 91 bucks admission for all three days and you should totally go!

As you may know, the Pronto lineup changes with the seasons, and for these shows we’re lucky to have the esteemed Adam Chilenski on bass and the uncompromising Jared Samuel embrace the mantle of both guitar and keyboard duties.

In the meantime, Greg O’Keeffe and I continue work on LP02 at the Pronto Labs™ in Brooklyn and are anticipating a spring 2011 release.

All the best to you this summer!
