Guitar Trio Is My Life (G3) Radium release, Essentialist release.
Category: Music
As most of you know, Front Porch Productions produced a tour of G3 (Guitar Trio with a minimum of 6 electric guitars) in the USA last year. We called this tour "Guitar Trio Is My Life"

In each city we played with local luminaries, including band members of Birdshow, Collection of Colonies of Bees, Devil Music, Die Kruezen, February, Godspeed You ! Black Emperor, Hüsker Dü, Lichens, San Agustin, Sonic Youth, Tortoise, USAisamonster and US Maple, as well as being joined by such musicians as Josh Abrams, Anne Bourne, Ernie Brooks, Bill Brovold, Jonathan Kane, Alan Licht, Jon Mueller, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and many other fine people.

We played in 12 cities in North America, and the Table of the Elements Records recorded all the concerts.

Radium Records, a subsidiary of the Table of the Elements, is releasing a selection of these concerts on 3 separate CDs, the release date is 4 March. We plan to tour G3 in Belgium and Italy in March in support of the release, as well as in other cities throughout the spring and summer and indeed the rest of 2008.

If you are a concert producer and would like to have G3 in your city, don't hesitate to contact Front Porch Productions, who does our booking. The contact person is Regina Greene: frontporchproductionsrg@gmail.com

Regarding Essentialist, my band with David Daniell, Joe Stickney, Byron Westbrook, and Adam Wills:

I have been getting messages asking me when the Essentialist release is going to come out. I've got good news, the CD mix has been completed, at last!

In discussion with the record company, Radium Records, we've decided to release the tour of GUITAR TRIO we did in the States first. As I've already said, it will be out on 3 separate CDs on 4 March.

We will be releasing the Essentialist record later on in 2008. I will let you know as soon as I have a firm date.

Thanks so much for your interest and support.

Warm regards

Rhys Chatham
