Craig's Living Room Tour Wrap-up and Short Film

[Rich Tarbell]

I ended up on the wrong side of the camera for this but I think it still came out pretty good and worth 8 minutes of your time:

If nothing else, it helps back my previous posts regarding the intimacy of living room shows and the friends and memories they create.

Great little film - looking and sounding great.

Looks like it was such a privilege to hear the stripped down, starting-point versions of these songs up close. I'm still really looking forward to the "lush and full" versions with the band.

I enjoyed reading the interview (via the other thread) too. As someone who's the same age as CF, I love the idea of songs about people of a certain age in relationships.



And now I want a t-shirt with a three-legged bear on it.

Haven't watched the video yet, but GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS:

Yeah, I mean, we don’t have shows lined up, but we’re looking for them. When we did it, I just said, “Franz, are you interested in doing more as things come up?” He said, “Yeah.” But we’re looking. I don’t think we’re looking for six-week tours, driving around in a van; we’re looking to do things that are special and exciting and probably less frequent. You know, along the lines of what we’ve done over the past year; the Brooklyn shows were great. I really like that model where we go somewhere and play a few shows because you’re able to settle in, you’re able to make it really special, you’re able to play a bunch of different songs over a few nights. I think we’d like to do more of that. We’re definitely looking for shows; it just has to make sense for six guys in their 40s.

If I can get 4 nights a year like the Brooklyn shows for the next 10 years, I will be a very happy man.

More positive news than some may have been expecting.
Great stuff!
