new new new

i've been working on alot of new things.. videos, songs, ideas, and all sorts of things.. i've been trying to put together the newest reincarnation of the whispering drifters, as it is, and always will be, a revolving door of members. right now, there are three people who have a hand in the newest lineup, and we'll be adding a 4th soon i think.

working on a mini tour in october also.. we were asked to play the arts outside festival, which is about an hour outside of austin, tx, so we're booking a few dates around it. lots of amazing artists are playing this festival (the lineup should be released soon) and it's going to be a great time! right now, only one show is confirmed outside of the festival, but here are the dates...

oct 7th - jackson, ms
oct 8th - shreveport, la
oct 9th - rockdale, tx - arts outside fest
oct 10th - rockdale tx - arts outside fest
oct 11th - houston, tx - bohemeos
oct 12th - new orleans, la

if anyone can help with any of those dates, namely the first 2, please get in touch.. we'll have some new merch on this mini tour too. all the same merch we had on the last tour, but we'll also have "who the fuck is damon moon?" colapsable beer koozies. hah. get 'em while they last!

been working on quite a few new songs, and an idea for a new EP that should be out for our january/febuary us tour if all goes as planned..

i have a few shows coming up, all of which i'm pretty excited about..

08.19.09 - 585 wells st., atl, 30312 - house show with cartright (austin), tony wain and the payne (asheville), brian lord (dj for 529's country night), and word on the street is that there's another artist or two TBA.

08.25.09 - 529 - with jana hunter, and the crazy dreams band

09.05.09 - the earl - with sleepy sun, and the fringe factory girls

09.21.09 - tasty world - with smoke and feathers (austin) and others TBA

also, i signed my first liscencing agreement earlier tonight. the song "dream forty one" from my first album, meridian road, will be appearing in a film called "person of interest". the film will be making the rounds at all the festivals this year, starting with sundance from what i understand. so if you go to any of the major film festivals, be sure to watch out for it. more to come on this as it is revealed..

i'll end this post with a video i made today. it's a song called "restless roads end" and it now has three different versions, and i have yet to record or release any of them. while we were on tour, we camped somewhere outside of new orleans, and actually recorded a version of this song in our tent. as soon as i track down the session for it, i'll post it here. anyway, here's todays video...
