Photos: Butterflies and Embarrassing Fruits Summer Tours

Both Butterflies and Embarrassing Fruits hit the road this Summer to bring their respective three-piece rock bands to the people of the East Coast and the Midwest. Need proof? Here's photographic evidence:

The Physics of Meaning in Hometapes Takeaway Show

At SXSW 2009 in Austin, TX, Vincent Moon filmed a wonderful Takeaway Show with the artists and friends of the Hometapes Label. The final product is more like a short film, following a continuous stream of wonderful music from Megafaun, Balmorhea, Murder, Stars Like Fleas, our very own The Physics of Meaning, and Slaraffenland (including an all star jamboree at the end). Its a wonderful little piece of music video. We suggest watching it in its entirety, but if you are in a rush, The Physics of Meaning starts playing at about 15:40. They play a brand new song which will most likely appear on their new album, the follow-up to last year's Snake Charmer and Destiny at the Stroke of Midnight

Here are some lovely photographs of the recent Lost in the Trees tours taken by multi-instrumentalist Alyssa Reichardt, violinist Jenavieve Varga and bus driver/sound man/lighting designer Dave Keister. Check back as more will be added in the next few days.

The Never to appear on Hear Here compilation

Our old friends at Terpsikhore Records are releasing an excellent compilation called Hear Here: The Triangle on August 29th, featuring a new and unreleased song from The Never! Terpsikhore invited local bands into their very own studio to record the tracks for the compilation, so all of the tracks were made with the same microphones, which should give it an interesting unity. Other bands on the comp we are excited about are The Rosebuds, The Kingsbury Manx, Hammer No More the Fingers and Terpsikhore's Annuals. The video above shows all the bands recording their songs, including our boys in The Never.

There's also an amazing release show at the Cat's Cradle to celebrate the release on Saturday, August 29. The Never will be playing, joined by Annuals, Birds of Avalon and Hammer No More The Fingers. The $10 admission gets you a copy of the comp, and proceeds go to benefit The Visual Art Exchange in Raleigh, NC. Hallelujah!
