Happy Spring!
For the second year in a row, I've decided to attempt the impossible, putting together a band to cover Radiohead. Instead of focusing on one album (OK_COMPUTER) we've decided to go ahead and tackle songs from all of Radiohead's albums -- yes, even Kid A.
dun dun dunnnnh!!
Here's the twist. we (Trima, Foma, DJ Anemone, Jade Day, Jen Pumo) have decided that it's a good idea not to rehearse any of the music until the week before the show. Actually, that's a lie. You see, I am so enamored by the ridiculously talented musician friends that I have, I've decided to fly them into Denver from Austin, Austin, and Nashville to perform this impossible show with me... with one week of practice.
It's going to be incredible!
Most of this group collaborated last May 29th to recreate Radiohead's OK_COMPUTER to rave reviews from the local media. It was one of the proudest moments of my life, and I hated every minute of it. I thought so much of the experience that I've decided to do it again. I've tried to make it easier on myself by adding some astonishing musicians to the bill. Foma* is an up and coming Denver band that combines good looks and good looks to make catchy hooks -- and party time. Jade Day is a singer-songwriter and a freak of nature. He sounds like Jeff Buckley and Thom York's falsetto love child. This guy is amazing and I'm very happy to have him singing with Lanny Boyer and Trima this time around.
Here's the nitty gritty:
A ton of people receiving this email are out of state, I appreciate your support in telling anybody who you think might be interested in this show about the, er, show.

You And Who's Army?
Hard at work on putting together the Radiohead show at The Oriental Theater at the end of the month. I'm hoping to have some time to provide a glimpse of the work that I am doing. Whatever goes on inside this brain of mine that leads me to want to do things like this, I'll never quite understand. However, if I write about it, perhaps it will make more sense. Or not. Anyhoo, here's a promo video that my friend Rhett did over the weekend.
