Mark Van Hoen is the man, straight up. He's a legend and we're very pleased to be involved with this show at Monkeytown tomorrow night. Don't know who he is? He's a founding member of the highly influential band Seefeel. He formed the underated and sadly over looked band Scala (which was essentially Seefeel sans Mark Clifford). He's put out some amazing records in his own right, as Locust and Mark Van Hoen. He produced Out Of Tune, Excuses for Travelers, and Spoon and Rafter by Mojave 3. He produced both albums for Emma Anderson's post Lush outfit, Sing-Sing. And that's just the tip of the iceburg....
His new record is due early next year.
also on the bill are LMG favorites Dead Leaf Echo and Luxa.
this is going to be a solid night.
we hope you can join us for what will surely be an amazing show.
Bonus Tracks (via the MVH website) from the brilliant Locust album, Morning Light.

The Depreciation Guild, Dead Leaf Echo, and Luxa are playing this Thursday at The Bellhouse.
"In the shadow of the famous and brooding Kentile Floors sign in the burgeoning and classic neighborhood of Gowanus, The Bell House, a gorgeous new and unique music venue and lounge, opened its doors on September 18, 2008. The Bell House is a magnificent two-room music and events venue located at 149 7th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues. It was crafted out of an old 1920's warehouse once used as a printing press, but more recently used as a fly-by-night shipping company."
This will Be your last chance to see Dead Leaf Echo for awhile as they're taking a break until March. Luxa will also be taking a break until April to do some recording. The Depreciation Guild on the other hand is going on tour with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart in February.
On November 22nd we'll be throwing a party at the new performance space in the 'burg called Vanishing Point. bands on the bill so far are Beta.Beta, The Depreciation Guild, and Luxa with one more to be announced.
