So but try and stop by “Dorkfest” this Saturday at Broad St Cafe in Durham if you’re of a mind to.
Dexter Romweber & the New Romans and Calabi Yau (Charlotte) and the Late Viriginia Summers (Lynchburg) and a bunch of other bands that I can’t remember right now.
We’re playing around midnight.

And on the 29th of April I’ll be playing a little set at the Rat Bastard International Noise Fest at Nightlight. Should be a pip.

A little remind about things to come.
And, as always, if you want to be removed from this list, just drop me a line saying “Stop pestering me, you barley-totin’ scudhopper.”

Project Bluebird CD Release
Marsh Woodwinds, 707 N Person St. Raleigh
8 pm — 5 bucks gets you entry + a CD
(’cause let’s face it, music ain’t worth shit.)

I’ll quote a promo e-mail Brent Bagwell sent out about our show in Charlotte tonight, ’cause he says it better than I could:

“As a refresher, Project BLUEBIRD is the Charlotte-Triangle collaboration featuring:

Carrie Shull – oboe, english horn
Bob Pence – alto and baritone saxophones, bass clarinet
Brent Bagwell – tenor and baritone saxophones, clarinet
Ben Kennedy – violin, cello
Ron Brendle – bass

In a delightfully subversive move from the Fourth Estate, we find/found ourselves as Creative Loafing’s Best New Band of 2007: “Project Bluebird’s shows are a study in deconstruction – the finished “product” a free-floating (there’s no drummer to act as anchor) vibe that’s variously exultant, or gloriously exhausted, but never exhausting. Queen City folk rarely consider that a jazz band could be the most indie thing we have going, but guess what?”

So, $5 gets you a CD and 2 sets of fresh music….a good deal, I say.”

More shows to come.

“Avant garde chamber jazz” is how they describe us in the World Book Encyclopaedia.
Sorta composed improvisation, with occasional lack of composure. I think you’ll dig it.
