Shoulder Tap Presents…
Saturday, November 13th, 2010Here in New York, we’ve been putting together semi-regular showcases of artists from our crew and associated acts, performing at New York’s Sidewalk Cafe. They’re free shows where we play new songs, or try different arrangements of old songs, where we collaborate on stage with each other, playing mostly acoustic instruments. The shows have been a lot of fun — thanks to everyone that’s been coming out to see us and support us! I’ve been pretty bad about updating this blog with info about every show, but that’s about to change. Last month, we had six acts, and here is the poster by the soft-handed Dima Drjuchin (of Corrupt Autopilot fame):
Shoulder Tap Presents (Oct 27 2010)
We’ll be booking more of these, as well as other no-so-free shows with electric guitars.
The fine gents in New Beard have almost completed tracking for their upcoming debut record, and Vending Machine’s “Let The People Sing” is complete, to be released later in November.
Finally, we wanna brag a little about our one appearance at CMJ 2010 at Greg Barris’s Heart of Darkness. The sold out show was a phenomenal event, with Reggie Watts, Dave Hill, Kristen Schaal, and Kurt Braunohler performing, with The Forgiveness Choir backing everybody up (featuring New Beard, Yazan, Dima, Jonas from Mother of Three, and Aerial East). Here’s the poster for that:

Finally, Yazan has been in the studio recording a solo effort of acoustic songs inspired by the likes of RL Burnside, Skip James, Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. We’ll put some songs up soon, but if you want to hear it now, come out to the show on Wednesday!
Out now: Corrupt Autopilot – Greetings from Ghost Country
Friday, July 9th, 2010The Corrupt Autopilot LP, Greetings from Ghost Country (SHT004), is out now at http://corruptautopilot.com! You can listen to the whole thing for free, and download the whole thing for as little as $5. Corrupt Autopilot is the music of Mother of Three bassist Dima Drjuchin, and Greetings from Ghost Country was brilliantly recorded and produced by Andrew Dunn and Ben Wigler, the brains and beards behind New Beard. The record is a circus of sound, featuring performances from: Yazan and Jonas from Mother of Three, Nik Dryuchin (AudioAmor), Eric Stephenson, Tony Waldman, Ben and Andrew from New Beard, Greg Barris (Heart of Darkness), Gian Carlo Feleppa (Mink Lungs, Emergency Party), Aerial East, and Leah Hayes. What a party!
Speaking of parties: on Saturday 10 July, Corrupt Autopilot will be playing their first show as a band, with Dima leading some of the above characters through a set of songs. Not only is it a birthday party (Dima turns 30!), and a record release party, but it’s also a benefit show for tattoo artist and friend Matty No Times. Matty had to get a new liver, but had no health insurance and is now paying for it, so we’re all helping out. Come on out, click the poster below for more info:
