Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Film Video For "The Helpless Corpses Enactment"

Oakland, CA based avant-garde rockers SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM have posted the following updates:

"SGM has just finished making an incredibly beautiful and bizarre film to accompany "The Helpless Corpses Enactment" -- a song from the forthcoming record, with lyrics entirely from Finnegans Wake (James Joyce). With the help of countless people who gave their time and talents and resources, and with director Adam Feinstein and cinematographer Jeremiah Crowell at the helm (along with a volunteer crew of upwards of 30 people), we made what should have been a $100,000 film (yes....35mm film!) for a laughably small amount of money...in the mid-4-digits. We emptied pockets and dug deep into the endless wells of the debt machine to make this happen. we are, in fact, about $7,000 in the hole at the end of this unwieldy and exhilerating project.

To that end, we are indeed welcoming donations to help us crawl slowly back into the land of the debtless. If you have funds that you would have been dying to shed, and think this a worthwhile endeavor, you may jettison them from your pockets by sending checks
payable to SLEEPYTIME GORILLA PRESS to:

Sleepytime Gorilla Press
ATTN: Matthias Bossi
2306-1/2 11th avenue
Oakland, CA 94606

For gifts of $50 and above, we will, in turn, send you an advance copy of the new cd as soon as it is back from the presses. (early April)

other related band news.....
TIN HAT has a cd coming out on January 30th: The Sad
Machinery of Spring (Hannibal/Rykodisc) featuring the new line-up (Carla Kihlstedt, Mark Orton, Ara Anderson, Ben Goldberg, Zeena Parkins). Upcoming shows in NY, MA, CA, OR, and WA can be found online here. (Unfortunately Zeena Parkins won't be joining the band for the live shows.)

They're working on a new web-site, but for now, bear with the old one at www.tinhat.org.

Still more related news:

Carla is pulling a new project together to be performed in Milwaukee at Alverno College on March 3, 2007. It's called Necessary Monsters, based loosely on entries from Jorge Luis Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings with Zeena Parkins, Matthias Bossi, Marika Hughes, Shahzad Ismaily, Jessica Troy, Ara Anderson. Poetry and texts by Rafael Oses, Direction by Paul Bargetto, lighting design by Allen Willner. It will make its way to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago early 2008. And then hopefully to SF and NYC.

Pouring sound into the world.

As always.
